People Over Party raised $7.7 million in 2024, all of it from the nonprofit behind the Fair Election Fund, which in turn got every dollar from a Musk-funded dark money group.

" ...Cornel West on presidential ballots in 2024... "

Tankie splitter.

West stated that he believed the Russian invasion of Ukraine was "a criminal invasion, provoked by the expansion of NATO, which is an instrument of U.S. global power" and described the war as a "proxy war between the American Empire and the Russian Federation".[97][98]

West's campaign received extensive support from Republican and Trump allies to stay on the ballot in swing states in hope that he would take votes from Kamala Harris.[126][127][128] West expressed ambivalence about the support from Republicans.[126]

Cool. Hopefully Musk fucks up and finances him again.

No shit.

yet another example of why we need ranked choice voting or some kind of preferential voting system where it's not possible to "split the vote"

No shit.

Instead, vote YES for maggoty cum!

I know this post isn't really a laughing matter, but I still love that username

So, Green MAGA. That was literally Jill Stein's strategy.

Decades of sterling reputation thrown in the garbage bin… Cornell, why? Ego? Blackmail?

Jill Stein's strategy was to stroke her ego and raise money to waste.

Jokes on you.

I voted for West in #1 and Harris #2. We got that rank choice voting

Article doesn't load

It does if you register. Small news outlets got to be funded somehow.

Donations.

Please don't post links to this place again. Because people can't read it.

It literally only requires registration, not money. Deal with it

How much funding funneled from the Russians via conservative shadowy groups, too, I wonder?

It does sound very similar.

I delt with it by reporting to mods and down voting.

And also telling you about this problem. Please stop harming our communities by posting content that can't be read by everyone.

I don't regard a registration requirement from a very tiny source to be a problem.

Everybody can read it.

The Green Party may be a serious enterprise in other countries, but in the United States it mostly just serves as a punchline.

I could see if we were to put ranked choice in everywhere, then start trying to mount things like the Green Party.

But instead we have a goofy candidate show up on the presidential ballot every 4 years, some with strange foreign ties and Republicans funding them. Almost zero candidates at the local level.

And we can thank them for things like W and donnie.

“Why do people only read the headlines” 😭
