Why do we always focus on the wrong narrative? The question always seems to be: .." should America elect one evil candidate or another? .. The so-called establishment is nothing but two cheeks of the same ass! Republicans and Democrats alike are funded by a criminal zionist terror organization called AIPAC who funds and controlls both parties and nearly everyone in between. They certainly make it difficult for anyone with decency and conscience to play any role in American politics! It is time for this so-called establishment to be dismantled, and for their evil plans to fall apart. We need a fresh conversation about who's going to lead America and the world into the future!
President Elect Cornel West tells it the way it is, in a very impartial, sincere and unbiased way!
He is the real deal. He is honest, elequent, truthful, charismatic, educated and experienced having lived through decades of American dominance and imperialism, and has witnessed the good, the bad and the ugly of our American internal and foreign policies.
America needs to lead and cooperate not dominate, and President Cornel West is the real deal; he is what America needs and the world wants to lead the the world in a responsible, diplomatic, just, peaceful and internationally collaborative and friendly approach.
You may be sincere but you may be writing this because you really want Trump to win. I’m suspicious.
The reality is that our very imperfect system is such that one of the two major parties will be elected. Any votes for other candidates are in reality votes that are being deprived to one of the ultimate winners. It is the structure here.
a vote for West is one less vote for the ultimate opponent to the real fascist bad candidate.
West would do more good for the country if he ran for an office he could actually win and then have role in government. Siphoning votes from the Democratic candidate may give the fascist the power off all of us.
You maybe sincere but you may be writing this because you are naive and short sighted.
We have arrived at this two party system primarily because each time people tried to strengthen the third party candidate, they were scared off in the way that you are doing now. Sure they will not win the first round but if enough people to vote for them, they will slowly get that name recognition that the other two party have got and will do better the next round and the next round.
Besides, this time around the two choices put in by the parties are truly EVIL. How can one be loyal to our system and still vote for a person that in his/her heart know is the wrong person. I detest tRUMP and I believe he is a traitor to our nation. Even so, my conscience does not allow me to vote for Joenocide Biden, knowing he has so much blood on his hand. If these are the only choices I will have, I will not vote to legitimize this corrupt system.
I am very sincere and not naive at all or short sighted. I see clearly that the presidential is a binary election. There will not be a third of fourth round for the minor parties to grow. If they were serious they would begin with elections they can actually win. Council people, congress, school boards, etc. not elections that are decided by an electoral college. Build a constituency and have an office where you have a platform from which to advocate.
The congress people who are speaking out on the issues are much more relevant than the minor presidential candidates and they will still be relevant after Nov election.
I agree with the congress people and will plan on voting for them (people and not party) but for the high office, if the choices are evil and more evil, then it is best not to participate in it as any participation is a vote of legitimacy. I will not legitimize this evil selection with my vote.
I disagree. There are multiple issues, not just one. Choose the candidate that you can live with on most issues when they are both wrong on one issue.
One candidate will build camps for millions of people, destroy environmental protection laws, abolish healthcare progress, prohibit medical choice, ban books, attack LBGTQ people, suppress voting. You ought be concerned about that as well as the other issues.
You are not wrong, even though you are exaggerating a lot!
The single issue voter vs multiple issue but how does one weigh in those issues or what is one to do when one of those issues is so great that becomes his/her red line?
We also need to keep in mind that some of the things we are being scared of that potentially will happen, is already happening. Just look at how many students have been arrested for a simple peaceful demonstration or the law that was passed in Congress to criminalize people simply for criticizing a foreign nation. You may argue that none of those have been a direct result of our President but we have seen that not only he has NOT spoken against those action, he has encouraged it.
I simply can not help to elect a person that is so deeply complicit in this genocide.
This kind of nonsense ought to be recognized as either foreign or domestic propaganda and banned in this and any Substack platform
As a former admirer of CW, I once respected him. Now, not so much. In my book, he is a traitor; aiding and abetting the American fascist surge. He along with other 3rd party candidates know or should know that a vote for them is one for trump and his fascist GOP as well as against our imperfect democracy.
MEHDI’S TEAM should investigate your motivation and authenticity. I may support a 3rd party if /when we have proportional representation rather than a winner take all system. A vote for a 3rd Party now is a vote for fascism and against democracy. In the 2024 elections we need to decide: Democracy vs Fascism; it’s that simple.
My preference: Biden steps aside now (resigns,) retires or is promptly impeached for complicity in Israel’s crimes of genocide; VP HARRIS becomes president and takes on and crushes trumps and his GOP.
Hope MEHDI will comment on this hypothetical scenario.
P.J., thank you for your thoughtful and civil comment.
I’m old enough to remember when Nixon resigned, under extreme pressure. Had he not, he faced impeachment for crimes that arguably where less than those Biden could be charged with; complicity in the crime of genocide and violations of conditions related to the transfer of weapons to other nations.
We’re accustomed to follow traditional presidential impunity. Presidents become emboldened each time committing ever more egregious offenses, eg wars based on lies, torture, and now arming and financing genocide—the killing, maiming, starving, displacing and annihilating of innocent men, women and children for the sake of a settler colonial shield supremacy Zionist fascist scheme concocted by Imperial UK followed and mirrored by sycophantic U.S.—to say the least.
In the U.S. and most everywhere, too often people “…go along to get along;” when dealing with the White, wealthy and powerful elite—oligarchs, the fascist so-called Power or Ruling Elite. We’ve become a nation of sycophants.
The criteria ought to be whether the action recommended, or to be taken, is just and fair.
The fact is that Biden needs to be held accountable for willingly or incompetently supporting Fascist Zionist colonial settler Israel’s crimes against Palestinians.
I’m relatively sure VP Harris is more qualified/competent and would be a more formidable opponent to trump than Biden.
If you agree, send a brief email to Biden at WH.gov encouraging him to retire, noting that you support a permanent cease-fire. Ask your congresspeople to do the same. Write letters to the editors. Urge others to do the same. Snowballs grow fast, even become avalanches. The crime of genocide ought not to enjoy impunity. Palestinians deserve justice.
BTW, I’ve voted Democratic for more than 50 years and intend to continue doing so.
I still plan to vote uncommitted in the Dem primary to register my disapproval of the genocide our govt is supporting. If that choice isn’t available, then I will write in my candidate of “Cease Fire”
I have done everything you suggested over the last several weeks. I have called the WH, VP, FLOTUS, 1st Gentleman, & sent emails, & said stuff at them on their sm sites; have done the same with my NM federal representatives.
I am just as distraught over the war crimes of Netanyahu’s govt as you are, it’s horrible.
However, I was only being realistic. It is not just 1 man, Biden, who is in favor of supporting Israel; it is practically all of our govt, except for the 54 or so Dem representatives who have spoken out against sending more weapons. Almost every elected official has taken campaign donations from AIPAC. They are apparently an extremely powerful group.
I’m sure you’ve heard the recent outcry & condemnation of Biden when he said he was pausing the delivery of offensive weapons. Therefore, I think it is unfair to lay all of the blame at the feet of only one man. It is absolutely my hope that he will stand firm & not cave to the pressure from the majority of Congress.
I’m well aware of how the State of Israel came into being in 1948, 2 big bullies, the UK & US forced it into existence.
I’m currently listening to the audiobook “The Hundred Years War on Palestine” to try to expand my knowledge & understanding of the background to all of this hatred between those peoples. I know the US leaders have threatened Israel before about expanding settlements into Palestinian territory, & yet they have continued to do it & suffer no real consequences.

Exactly DK, A third party must be built from the local/state level up, they can’t just float a candidate for the top office in the land every 4 yrs.
100% in agreement
Ray A?: Is this a paid or fee political ad?
This kind of nonsense ought to be recognized as either foreign or domestic propaganda and banned in this and any Substack platform
