Cornell West will get AT MOST 2 1/2% of the votes.
He has interesting things to say sometimes AND he’ll take more votes from Biden than from Trump. I don’t see a problem here.
Exactly.
Whatever Kelly Anne is smoking, these days, do. not. want.

Hopefully he does better. They will be all Democrat voters. Maybe he can convince the Dem cheat machine in urban areas to cheat for him, bleeding more dem votes.
2 1/2 % in swing states comes out to how many state swings?

If the guy takes votes, it’s be from the Democrat.
Race, gender, social justice crap is what he pontificates about... Just more pseudo-intelectual leftist babble (all old ideas repackaged), simply from a black guy.
I can’t see him hurting any Republican, not even the furthest on the left.
That said, even if he takes 2 1/2 percent, great!
2.5% in swing state would be more than enough to change the outcome.

Ralph Nader did only a little better than that in 2000 (2.74%, ten times the 0.26% the Greens received in 2020) and got blamed for throwing the election to Bush. Arguably, his 1.63% in Florida gave that state and the election to Bush. He also likely cost Gore New Hampshire and brought Bush closer to winning New Mexico, Oregon, Wisconsin, and Iowa than he otherwise would have been.
In 2016, Libertarian Gary Johnson did even better than Nader (3.27%), and if he took more votes from Clinton than from Trump in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, North Carolina, and Florida, he (and Green Jill Stein) could have given Trump the election. That election was so close that Stein alone could have made the difference with her tiny share of the vote.
West won’t do as well as Nader or Johnson, but if he gets on the ballot in Wisconsin, Georgia, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and New Hampshire, he might make a difference. Look for him, though, not to be on the ballot in those states. Democrats will fight to keep him off the ballot, and may be infiltrating leftwing parties to mess up their ballot access efforts.
