The point is to legitimize the things he's talking about, to give a platform to left wing policies. The election itself doesn't even matter that much.

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:well, if it's an op, i have a hard time making sense of the reason for it. the liberal line that "he's gonna take votes from biden" doesn't make sense. how many votes would west realistically get on the "people's party" ticket? which isn't even a party. RFK jr. who is running in the democratic primary actually seems like the roger stone ratfucking candidate who could at least cause some trouble for biden even if it's at the level of being an annoying presence.

Bernie had 13 million people actually vote for him in 2016 and 10 million people vote for him in 2020. There was a lot of actual people who supported him that West isn't going to have and it's why Bernie was able to get leftist ideas into the national conversation at least for a small time period.

"Things no one will actually do because no one wants to do them and besides our hands are tied and also did you know there's this person called Joe Manchin who basically has veto power over the whole entire government" counts as the national conversation, I guess.

I dunno just seems logical to me that if you want people to circumvent the electoral system through other means they must first attempt and fail at using elections to enact change. People don't know that elections can't help them unless they fail to help them. So every election cycle you get a whole new crew of people learning that elections aren't the answer. That's how people learn best, imo. Through personal experience and investment. That's how I beat sekiro, anyway.

there's no way cornel west has any reach beyond a fraction of bernie's audience. the idea that west is going to tap a group of people bernie couldn't reach is a weird one.

let's assume for a moment that mcmagic is right, that Cornel West's campaign is not going to even come close to having the kind of reach that Bernie 2016/2020 did so what? why would it be a problem that he's trying, even if you knew for a fact that the attempt isn't going to work?
