"There is a real question whether democracy is going to remain in the United States of America," Sanders said.

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.

    Cornell West SHOULD know better then doing stunts like this. Because even if the criticism is correct, he is siphoning blue-voters away to a politically useless or damaging position, like the Green-Party.

    Which means he weakens the Democrats.

    Which in turn means he strengthens the Fascist-GOP.

    We can aknowledge the Truth, but always vote and always vote blue. NEVER risk a blue vote for the need to pride yourself on “fighting the corrupt system”.

    Emotional validation is never an argument for weakening the only thing holding back Fascism in the US. To much is at stake!

      Ive been voting since the mid 80s and EVERY election has been ‘theres too much at stake.’

      West isnt syphoning off votes, if Biden or Democrats actually represented the public there would be no concern about him having a challenger and he would win by a landslide, but they dont represent us, they represent capital and only capital. The world is on fire and they are telling us we are ok, most of us can see things are not ok, but getting worse. And the part about splitting the vote is liberal myth, if there was no 3rd party candidate running we still wouldnt vote for the cause of most of our problems.
