Some politicians are so fearful of former President Donald Trump retaking the White House that “they don’t really want to tell the full truth,” West said. “[Biden has] created the best economy that we can get. Is this the best that we can get? You don’t tell that lie to the people just for Biden to win,” West said in a clip played on CNN Sunday.
Everyone who disagrees with me is a paid shill, sure sounds like some rightwing cope.
The centrist liberals pathological inability to tolerate even small amounts valid and reasonable criticism is part of why democrats keep losing elections.
Where’s your criticism of Cornel and his unpaid taxes and child support?
Racist trope much?

Stop trying to woke snipe legitimate criticisms of Dr. West
what is legitimate about this criticism? it’s ineffectual mud slinging: anyone who agrees with what cornel west says will not think this is a meaningful criticism at all.
Thats a non issue made into an issue by racists that want to keep a non democrat challenger from running, dems love the black community as long as they stay in line and do as they are told. The moment they stray from the official narrative they need to go, exactly like they did with MLK. Democrats talk about protecting democracy while smearing challenger candidates, suing to keep challengers off the ballots, suing to keep RCV off the ballots and calling minorities too ignorant to understand it as justification. West has more in common with the struggles of the working class than out of touch politicians like Biden and Co
Being half a million dollars in tax debt is not a non issue, are you insane?
No, while you are being distracted over bullshit like taxes you are probably not challenging issues like the DNC suing to keep RCV off ballots, why they feel entitled to every ones votes despite not earning them, why we are being told everything is great when we can all see its not. Democrats love a black man that does as hes told until he speaks out of line, then the daggers come out. They havent strayed to far from their plantation owner roots.
cornel west doesn’t need to pay taxes or child support until we dismantle the empire.
Strawmanning your opponents is on page 2 of the rightwing playbook.
Can you at least try to counter Dr. West’s arguments? If you can’t, then just admit it. There’s no shame in admitting weakness.
I’m not strawmanning Cornel, he has nearly half a million dollars in unpaid child support. Also plenty of other folks are taking on that aspect of his candidacy, pretending he’s not deeply in debt is not taking his candidacy seriously and I don’t think anyone who simply ignores the financial trouble he’s in should be regarded as serious.
poisoning the well
that’s a lie
Inaccuracy, it’s child support and taxes

have you considered reading articles before you link them?
What part of that article says he doesn’t owe half a million dollars?
the amount isn’t the dispute. it’s the source of the debt.
State sanctioned media is always the most trustworthy…right?
