Cornel West on capitalism, Ukraine, and his presidential run | The Chris Hedges Report

1. Lets talk policies. what ya gonna implement? how is it going to be different and how can you make that change transitional enough to not get yo self killed? what will you do about energy? The falling dollar in the face of a recession. the US is a burning building in the wake of a transitioning world. What would be overall theme we would be transition towards? What does Wests' United States Look Like???

2. 😊

3. 😈

4. I learned my lesson with, Obama. Beginning black and talking black, want work this time. Just because you look like me doesn't mean your for me. Everything is pro-black when their campaigning. Once in the WHITE house they magically caught amnesia.

5. Brother Biden

6. Dr West for President

7. C'mon Cornell, im sure someone at sometime thought Henry Kissinger was adorable.

8. I am hearing that Cornell, were he a sculpture, would evpect a large block of granite to become his vision without the tedious work of chipping away the superfluous stone.

9. I have to hear what Chris H says about Cornell's exit from the Green party.

10. I so wanted to believe in Dr. West, but hiring Peter Daou and quitting the Green Party has proven he's not a serious candidate. Too bad. Another huge disappointment.

11. SO once West sees that he is being called out for having a pro putin friend and apologist Jill Stein as his head campign manager, he now wants us to forget that and run as an independant? There is nothing more dangerous to democracy than Trump except for Cornell West poisoning the culture with his false equivalency irrationalism helping trump get elected. West cant win. Period. But he can help Trump get electected. And Russia will use all their bots and internet influence to help him gain support and create annomosity toward the one party that can stop Trump – the democrates. West wants us to believe in the fantasy that if only a progressive self righteous man like himself can be president, then everything will be better. Thats not how democracy works. There will always be an opposing force that one will have to COMPROMISE with to govern.

12. You know Dr. West is good just by how scared the democrat establishment is of him and his candidacy. They'll spare no expense to stop him by any means necessary, just like they did Bernie. 2020 showed me that electoralism is a dead end, but if I do vote for president next year, it'll be for West.

13. what empire?

14. I would like to see RFK and Cornel West on the same ticket.

15. I'm voting for love eternal and REAL AMERICAN CHANGE. The time is now. I can no longer attempt to choose the least evil of 2 candidates. My vote is for Dr. West.

16. Nobody's choice of President except his students 😂

17. Please Run for President

18. Talk, talk, talk. When does BS become jazz?

19. “A people who continue to vote for corrupt politicians, thieves, impostors and traitors are not victims but accomplices “ George Orwell

20. This would be monumental

21. You guys are delusional if you think you could take on the deep state and win.
    President Trump is the only one that can do this. You guys have no understanding of what's going on.

22. One thing third parties lack is consistency. We don’t see a third party presence every two years. We need that consistency. Third party candidates represent a force of objection of their singular view but not a driver of a party that will rise in organizational structure when they don’t win. I will vote for West for what he stands for. But the Green Party is not organized like the Big Two. They can’t get their permenant act together.

23. When Marianne Williamson was flirting with the MPP she made an observation that should be oft repeated. She said that the major historical shifts in American society came about via third party candidates. There was an ABOLITIONIST Party for instance. The end of Slavery did not come about as a result of current dominant Political parties wished it so. There was a SUFFRAGET(spelling?) party. Women's right to vote did not come about until a THIRD party advocated for it. Even the transformation of FDR came about as a result of a strong Labor movement,which included the Communist Party USA not because the democrats at the time favored changes to benefit the lower and middle income classes. We can than Walter Reuther for that. We should never discount the importance of a so-called third party. So-called because as of late there is little difference in actual ACTIONS between the duopoly we currently have.

24. The end the argument about if black is held back in any way was with the Obama presidency, proving blacks can be president that's the highest order. It doesn't matter what color you are it doesn't get any higher so therefore it is an equal playing field

25. Love this. Asylum seekers are suffering immensely in the borderlands where I live. Huge crisis among homeless. 2 most visible mass suffering of thousands of people!

26. Cornell West knows a vote for him that was going to Biden us a vote for trump. All he is doing making you feel good but he will get no where near the white house. He is naming Biden for things he tried to change. It was the Supreme Court that overruled Bidens executive order to forgive student loans. The Supreme Court whose members were appointed by Bush who wouldn't have won florida if Ralph Nadar had not run. Because the green parry took votes from Clinton, we got trump and guess what. They got rid of affirmative action and blocked student loan forgiveness. All democratic Supreme Court judges voted to keep both. West is lying saying there is mo difference between the partys. I believe he is being paid by someone on the right to run to help trump. He does not make sense in what he is saying because he is very intelligent. He knows we should change congress first. Barney Sanders and AOC THINK BIDEN HAS DONE GOOD CONSIDERING TROUBLE FROM REPUBLICANS. If trump is elected we get fascism

27. Cornell West is a brilliant professor but running for president now is utterly stupid. If trump were not on the ballot, I would vote for him as a protest. I do not want another trump presidency. It would turn us back even farther. Look at what his appointments to the Supreme Court has done to affirmative action. Trump pretended to give money to black colleges then cut it. A lot of blacks didn't know this. West said he want to dismantle the system. Trump does too but he want fascism with does not include blacks. I HAVE ONE WE QUESTION? HOW IN THE HELL WEST WILL GET CONGRESS TO APRROVE IS PROPOSALS. MITCH MCCONNELL WILL NOT PASS ANY OF HIS LEGISLATION. THE PRESIDENT CANNOT WITH THE STROKE OF HIS PEN CHANGE A LOT OF THINGS. CONGRESS HAS TO APPROVE IT. IN RUSSIA YES HE CSN BECAUSE HE IS A DICTATORSHIP.

28. 👑👑✨✨✨✨✨

29. Why not, as long as he is a U.S. born citizen and he wins major vote.

30. This is a Lincoln moment. We may be large enough to make the sacrifices Brother West is talking about, we may not. But ain't nothing like the real thing.
