Update: Dr. West has apparently listened! While I don’t have a link to a formal announcement right now, he has stated he will run Green with no MPP involvement. I’m waiting for a more formal announcement from him – and an explanation for this complete lack of vetting and thought in running MPP in the first place.
This has been so bizarre and frustrating to watch. Hopefully he is listening to everyone raising concerns about MPP. And thank you for talking sense about the reality of third parties in our current electoral system. It sucks but it's what we have to work with unfortunately, and Trump or DeSantis are nightmare scenarios. Looking forward to more from you on this :-)
I realized I'm not one of these "the people." I was surprised by Wests' racism, as I thought he was smarter than that. Racism tends to betray ignorance. Regardless, I will never "stand" only with the better off, the currently employed.

Totally agree, Jordan!
It’s not a party
Correct. A shame that this is what we are stuck with.
It sure stinks of hubris on Mr West's plate, and I have always (up till now) found CW to be a fine and inspirational figure.
Thank you for highlighting CW, who honestly is a bit of an egomaniac with no business running for president!
Thanks for your work, Jenn. I agree with your thesis about West and MPP, but not with the "harm reduction" justification for voting blue.
My current post is "Cornel West and the People's Party".
Great article Jenn. Nailed it again. :-)
Thanks, Simon! I hope you're well.
West should just take over the People’s party and move his own people into positions for his campaign
I truly believe it is far too much of a mess and I wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole. If wrong, I'll happily eat crow.

Rock On girl!!! Nobody Like you!! WOW!
Thanks, Jimmer!
I'm on here Jenn...
Awesome! Will subscribe :)
Nope, not interested in your post. Seems like whining.
lol - give criticism then, and be specific.
