Why offer him anything. He’d polling at zero percent.

Not the point. Do you think it's a coincidence he was approached at almost exactly the same time as the GOP went after Kennedy with a similar offer? Because if you do, I have some lithium mine stock I'm selling cheap. Y'all need to break free of the deeply ingrained idea there are two parties. There aren't. There's one corporate party with two branches with the same elites giving the orders.

It wasn't about votes. It was about whitewashing to con the rubes into buying the hype. Kennedy fell for it, and is now literally talking fiction about the goals of the GOP. West had more sense.

I don’t believe anybody from the Harris/Walz campaign approached West. There is no point to it. He is not a threat and neither is RFK Jr who approached the Harris campaign first and was told they weren’t interested because he’s nuts. Let him hitch his wagon to the Mad Hatters falling star. Who cares the same with West.

That's because like most of the rest of the population you persist in believing there are two opposed political parties representing different agendas, one good and the other evil. Why would someone like Cornel West lie about something like that? And yes, both he and Jill Stein are very much a danger, but unlike Kennedy they can't be conned. Anything that challenges the smooth implementation of the managed democracy process is a danger.

Offering a position in the administration is one thing but offering money (if true)?!? Shame!
