    He’ll be on the ballot. Nothing happens, until it does. The odds aren’t good but I’ll take an infinitesimal opening at real systemic change over choosing between a giant douchebag and a turd sandwich. There is a universe where Joe Biden strengthens his position by offering actual material concessions to voters that are considering voting for Cornel West. If you’re worried about independent voters choosing green over blue, you should be pushing Biden and the Dems to make a more compelling case to those voters. Their failure to do so is their missed opportunity.

        i want biden to ignore the supreme court and forgive the student debt anyway. after that, i want him to abolish the BoP, FBI, DEA, ATF, CIA, and NSA. he is the chief executive and congress has stupidly been consolidating power in the executive. after that, he can use his power as commander in chief to redirect the defense budget to training medical professionals and start putting boots on the ground in hospitals to give free medical care. he can turn a couple aircraft carriers into public housing. if the pentagon doesn’t like it, they can literally quit.

        he can pick any 2 of those for my vote.
