Green Party candidate Cornel West owes more than half a million dollars in taxes and child support: Records

The 2 party system is horseshit, but this is your recurring reminder that the greens are not worth your vote.

Any party serious about affecting change does so at the local level first. The fact that the greens consistently try to get attention with symbolic candidacies at the national level while being fuck all out of touch with school boards and local politics paints them as diva opportunists at best and bad faith progressive spoilers at worst.

This is coming from someone who agrees with most of West's platform at face value

I’ve noticed an increase in “bOtH sIdEs!11!!!” bullshit on Lemmy lately, along with your usual cadre of dumbfucks who will be manipulated into tacitly supporting the republican traitor filth. And I’m betting it’ll steadily tick upward.

As bad as that debt is, it would be worse if it just up and mysteriously disappeared one day.

I hope folks are watching it like hawks.

I like Doctor West as a person, he's a fascinating guy, and a great speaker, but nobody in that much debt should be anywhere near elected office.

I think Cornell West made great contributions to philosophy. As someone with pragmatist leanings I enjoyed his works. I don't want him in a congressional or executive government role.

It's really a spoiled vote to vote third party. People can whine about how it's unfair, but it still won't change anything. Do you really think spoiling your vote will show it to the big guys? Well guess what? Now they're no longer in power and the other side is rejoicing in their own victory. Meanwhile there are those who understand that they won't get everything that they want, but at least they won't have a side that will try to take away their rights by nominating and then confirming a right-wing justice to serve for life on the Supreme Court.

That's all they can come up? So he's still exponentially cleaner than your current set of warmongering, insider trading, union busting politicians. Your upvote shows you're just a right winger.

If I'm going to have a crook in office, I'd rather they be a crook that awakens people to the issues that matter such as medicare for all and ending the drug war. The bar is just that low

I was wondering when Democrats were going to get around to their smear campaigns against progressives. Looks like they're starting early this campaign season

Did he fuck a female slave of his and lie about the paternity of their love-child ?

Because prolly only like two or three POTUS on dollar bills did that.

Guess that helps explain how he ended up on the Republican payroll.

who gives a fuck? this is meaningless mudslinging to anyone who supports him.

Still better than the bloods and crips.

That just makes him smart. /s

Shitty click bait making him sound like a dead beat dad.

It's almost entirely unpaid taxes
