  1. Are they, though? Because throwaway votes are what Trump wants so that less people vote for Biden.

  2. RFK is going to CPAC and he’s antisemitic as well as antivax. West owes half a million in back taxes, hates Obama, and supports Russia.

    Neither one peels off democrats more than republicans. They’re both crank votes.

  3. I sure hope so, but there are few people whose political acumen I trust less than Jeet Herr.

  4. Republicans will never move past the idea that voters need to be tricked to vote the way they need them to.

  5. Exactly, fragment the psychos and capture the 70% of sane people

  6. Has Bernie weighed in on West? I doubt he thinks favorably of him.

  7. Not sure either could win the Democrats nomination without Trump or Biden in the race. Neither is a strong candidate.

  8. This article completely ignores the legislative wins Biden has had and portrays him as a seeming failure since 2021.

  9. Um. They are gonna hurt Biden and Trump.
    We still need to go into 2024 like our life depended on it.

  10. The world would be a better place with Brother West running the show. To put him in the same context as RFK Jr is simply Fox News tactics

  11. Until the nutjobs in the GOP goes away any vote not for the Democrats is a vote for fascism. You don’t have to like it but it doesn’t make it any less true.

  12. I would be willing to bet that they aren’t helping anyone but themselves.

  13. Literally thought the author’s name was a pseudonym for some philly-based culinary writer.

    Q: Jeet Heer?

    A: Yeah, it was okay. Plates are a little under-portioned for the price point. Two stars.

  14. It might actually be the right time for a
    3rd party to win, if it’s Trump VS. Biden going in. Sounds crazy, but if voting numbers are up and we’ve got to pick between ancient and almost dead, extremely stupid and crazy, or reasonable logical and rational like Cornel West, I think more would go that route than ever before in our history, and it would be amazing for our country if it could get out of this 2 tier system. Gerrymandering needs to be fixed, the popular vote should matter far more than where elected officials want to take their votes from, and ranked choice should be implemented.

  15. I keep seeing people trying to push this idea that 3rd party runs this year will help Biden, but polls, and logic, consistently show this not to be the case. I’ve seen this idea repeated without proof so much that I’m starting to think it might be part of a disinformation strategy being funded.

  16. These are just hopeful thoughts by Republicans. You will never get a true Democrat to vote for RFK and the anti-Trump Independent voters are not going to vote for RFK because they might as well be voting for Trump. RFK is going to pull the Obama/Trump voters who are voting for change no matter what

  17. So can they both end up on the ballot or is there some primary they’d have to be in?

  18. Cornel has switched parties 3 times already. This is not a serious effort on his part.

  19. Only people I hear talking about RFK are Republicans. They actually think he is right.

  20. Anyone else think Cornel got his name because his mom couldn’t spell Colonel?
