I strongly resonate with Cornel West's critique of Barack Obama. As an early Obama supporter, back when he was polling in single digits in the primary, I went through many of the same emotions and realizations that West did. I celebrated Obama's unlikely ascendence to power in the historical context of racial injustice and yet I was also, like West, similarly horrified by Obama's tilt toward wall street and surveillance and drone strikes. Not too long after he was elected, my heart sank when I realized Obama's bailouts of wall street were essentially an exact continuation of republican policy.
I really like West. I hope more people take the time to listen to what he actually has to say.
Of course #Trump is asking for a delay. He needs to delay his felony trial so he can run for president and continue spewing garbage for his cult.
How is this man leading in the Republican polls?
"The only way to break this vicious cycle is to de-center the logic of the spoiler effect and the fear of ‘enabling the right’ and organize a movement away from these two-party monsters who don’t care about the interests of ordinary people."
<p>What if we stopped despising people who run outside the two-party system and instead took the opportunity to use Cornel West’s run as part of work to build on an independent working-class movement?</p>
I’m shocked!!! Shocked I tell you!! 🙄
