Lets start with the ballot access, the Democratic party has basically declared war on the independents which complicates everything, as a result for instance Cornel West are in the process of suing North Carolina I believe because he hans been thrown off the ballot even as he mets all the requirements.
This is just one of many ways the struggle has increased and therefor Cornel West has had to lower the targeted ballot access number as a result of it, the goal is to get on 35+ ballots like he had in the beginning of the campaign but after some momentum he aimed for 50 but now he is lowering it to 35+ again because of the many battles and struggles.
Jill Stein said in an interview lately that the progressive should join together and make some strategic planning and she used the french election to show that it could be done, but then she said the people running should set aside their personal ambitions and join her and the greens, now since Cornel West is the only alternative progressive running it was a blunt critique of him and a very low ball and arrogant statement.
Its funny cause if we look back then Cornel West did join the green party but had to leave because he felt he had to run versus several people inside the greens and he felt restricted. Now when you hear the arrogant Jill Stein interview then you gotta ask if she has amnesia? Cornel West did try and join the Greens but Jill Stein tried to school Cornel West and made him feel like not all was on board with him as the leader and in particular Jill Stein who were very fast to announce her self as the front figure as soon as Cornel West had told 1-2 he was leaving but hadn’t said anything officially yet.
Looking back one wonders why she didn’t back Cornel West and tried to gather the Greens and the progressives around but instead they almost chased him away and didn’t make him feel like he was secure as the front figure. Now Jill Stein talks about inclusivity and gathering people but as she says people should put down personal ambitions then its funny to look back and see the Jill Steins personal ambitions destroyed the coalition back then and instead of being supportive she chose to be divisive and go for power her self, with this in mind its super arrogant to call Cornel West campaign a personal ambition cause he is doing it to better USA and in particular the black voices.
The Green party has alot of wonderful people in it but if one should make a critique then after over 30 years they are now searching for a strategy? Who has been running the greens? Perhaps the cruel joke is true that they aim for 5% in order to get som money and them people loose energy but that is ofc not true but sometimes it sure looks like it.
Now the marriage didn’t go well and Jill Stein isn’t the right person to try and gather people when she talks so arrogant and divisive to people so if they truly want some gathering then the first order should be to try and mend relations after the mistakes by Jill Stein, this is my opinion at least.
here is the interview by Jordan Chariton with Cornel West
