If Jill Stein hadn’t run for president on the Green Party ticket in 2016, Hillary Clinton would have been president.

If Ralph Nader hadn’t run for president on the Green Party ticket in 2000, Al Gore would have been president.

If Theodore Roosevelt hadn’t re-run for president on the Bull Moose party ticket in 1912, William Howard Taft would have been re-elected.

I love Dr. Cornel West.

I do not love he decided to run for president on the “People’s Party” ticket.

Apparently neither did he.

Because a mere two weeks after announcing his candidacy for the obscure People’s Party, West has already abandoned it for the republican-funded Green Party.

If he is sincere about “taking on the corporate duopoly” of republicans and Democrats—not a spoiler — he would run as a Democrat to the left of Joe Biden.
