Cornel West is looking pretty good!

You can thank the DNC for keeping Bernie down. Keep voting for them to prove them right though!

It's not looking good dude, anyone who has been following his campaign knows it's in far worse shape than even RFK's. National polling is hovering at ~10% for all candidates combined outside the D/R parties.

At this stage I would say West's campaign is a failure due to fundraising and operational issues. Here in Michigan my vote actually matters, I'm not sure where you live but if we don't get our shit together here it's likely all of our delegates could go to Trump. I don't know if I'm willing to bet my state race on Cornell West, regardless of how much I agree with him. Electability is important and I think that's why leftism has never taken off, West's supporters don't wanna do the door knocking and shit. They just want to yell at people.

This comment absolutely comes off as racist JQ nonsense, so if that's all ya got I'd recommend refraining from commenting about this further.

Biden being the top AIPAC recipient by far? RACISM ALERT!

I mean I get it, sure. But you didn't address any of the points I made, instead you said "it's the Jews man". Israel has almost nothing to do with the average voter's opinion on leftist politicians, leftists are already anti-israel. Americans don't really give a shit about foreign politics/policy in the first place.

You can keep harping on this if you'd like, I'm just trying to tell you that the independent voters you need to sway don't give a fuck about this.

TIL showing AIPAC bribe receipts equals "it's the Jews man"

[–] _tezz@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

So then AIPAC is the only reason leftism is failing in America? That's all ya got?

[–] Linkerbaan@lemmy.world 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

No because the Democrats killed all leftism and will do anything in their power to stop it from existing. Even if it costs them the elections.
