“Democratic candidate”

No he’s not, Biden is the incumbent and they’re not going set precedent by having a primary, especially not for RFK "I’m being paid by the Republicans and Twitter signaling Nazis " Jr.

The right wing is running two vote splitting candidates this year, so far, one is RFK Jr, the other is Dr. Cornell West, who has been much quieter about destroying his reputation than RFK Jr has..

Be wary folks, a Trump win potentially ends America’s democracy.

RFK doesn’t have a reputation (or at least, not a good one to anyone not a conspiracist nutter) to destroy.

Cornell West, in 2004 criticized Ralph Nader for running but with held praise from Kerry saying, “I disagree with brother Ralph, but vote for Kerry even tho he is the enemy”. And now he’s doing the same thing. West remembers too well the frustrations of trying to pressure the Obama presidency into a progressive direction.

We do need to escape the lesser evil trap. Every election the Democrats threatened us with Hitler and held us hostage. And every year that moved the Overton window further right until their threats became real.

So I recognize West as an ally even tho I recommend voting for Biden in any state with a contested election.

But simply voting for West won’t create an alternative. More must be done, and far more than just more down ballot left candidates. Organizing, strikes, protests, campaigns, alternative institutions, the gamut of a new culture and system.

Biden is a centrist liberal, which is the representative worldview for the majority of the party and its voting base. Cornel West is representative of a very small faction of progressive voters which has been equally small for decades. Do whatever you want, but some (most) of us actually like Biden. So really all you're doing is torpedoing your next closest ideological group in protest since yours is too small.
