Dr. Cornel West is running for president. In a wide-ranging conversation on The Chris Hedges Report, West lays out a political vision centering "the least of these." Rejecting the corporate duopoly and its two wings-a neofascist Republican party, and the neoliberal Democrats-West calls for a multiracial alliance of poor and working people against militarism, corporatism, racism, and all other forms of bigotry and oppression.
Editor's Note: Since the time this interview was recorded, Dr. Cornel West has announced his intention to seek the Green Party nomination for presidential candidate, rather than running under the People's Party.The Real News is an independent, viewer-supported, radical media network.

“What’s at the center of my campaign is to reintroduce America to the best of itself.” Brother West, thank you for vision, your courage, and your refusal to succumb to these attempts to divide us against one another, which would only serve to neutralize us. Your vision is genuine, and it places the future in the hands of common folk. You remind us that we have the potential to be the authors of the current moment and all moments to come. You dare us to participate in rewriting and foraging a true American dream in global terms where we all win, for this type of foraging provides meaningful, concrete social sustenance. I love you, Brother, and I love Brother Hedges as well for jamming out the jazzy discussions that you participate in together. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You certainly have my support.

If Cornel west is half as good a politician as he is an orator, then the USA would turn on a dime towards Justice during his presidency. But rationally, my best hope is that his spoken poetry and his jazz riffs start to infiltrate the political conversation and stimulate the shrivelled moral roots of the "great experiment". Preach on brother Cornel! Few voices are as important , and yet as neglected as yours. A Love Supreme indeed.

@juanmccoy3066 Год назад

I fully agree and relate to your concerns. My hope is he can get high enough for enough people to listen up and he can encourage solidarity and unity for the working class. America is too divided and the working class is broken. He can unite this country without even winning. And if by some miracle he does win, great! It won't be easy for him tho. He will need help. And ppl will sabotage him. But if he can disrupt this election and get people thinking and talking across the aisle then that's fantastic and that's enough for me to support him I want him to win. But I'm not naive. This isnt about actually winning. And he knows that. There is so much more at stake than a mere election. The facts are one of these old fucking boomers will win. Best case scenario they die and we end up with a slightly less incompetent Corporate Xer like DeSantis or the shill Kamala Harris. That's reality. But Cornel West can put a good enough scare into the political and ruling class. He can show them that we CAN unite and we CAN organize. And that will be enough to inspire change over time.

Cornell West is a spoiler candidate at this point, by running 3rd party he's guaranteed a loss for himself and potentially opened up spoiling the black vote for Biden. It's an absolute joke, also his foreign policy includes "Ending NATO". Okay, so he's essentially a pro-russian spoiler candidate. Got it.. What an unbelievably naive and idiotic idea. Yeah lets end the greatest defense alliance the world has ever seen for no reason at all. fuckn awesome. Also, the US can't unilaterally "END NATO" anyway. Also, furthermore, anyone who doesn't understand this most likely hasn't spent more than a few hours paying attention to what's going on in Ukraine. It's an entirely naive idea and it genuinely pisses me off that he's running and progressives are supporting him. This is how we end up with another 4 years of Trump, and if you don't think Trump or republicans are a existential risk to the country you need to have your head examined.

What the? Hedges has a new venue. He is one of the only few journalists I still respect. He helped to bring to light alot of the broken understandings I had about US politics. I think Cornel has the energy and the conviction to see this thing through. He is not afraid of the persecution and slander they will definitely attempt to bring upon him. Wow, what a great history lesson from the awesome Cornel West.
