It's not that. Unfortunately the two party system is just what is in the majority doesn't mean that people don't support Dr. West or any third party candidate. There isn't enough support for them. The party system is what is ruining the country and people should be running as individuals rather than for a party. Jmo.

He may have a plan but Congress and the Senate has to go along with his plan. What will happen is he will not be able to get most of his plan passed and a lot of our people will say he didn’t do ish just like some of them say about President Obama. But it’s ironic that white supremacy tried to destroy the image of the 1st black president but couldn’t, but then came Tavis Smiley and professor Cornell West with their bus tour around the country and they succeeded in destroying the image of the 1st black president Mr Barack Obama. I would still support Professor West but I do think that their actions aided and abetted white supremacy because they did destroy the image of our 1st black president in the minds of a segment of our people and it’s a shame. We needed black unity when Obama was in office because white supremacy was out to destroy him.

He won't be president. He's old and he has no blue print for his plan. He talks very compassionate with all the love and shit but really there's no substance behind it. Reparations (not happening), abolish of poverty, unhousing, etc. It's easy to say you're going to do it but you never hear them say how they're going to implement it.

Good conversation
This is such an important conversation. I respect Dr. West and Dr. Molina for what they are accomplishing. They want votes but winning is not the necessary goal. Politics has become a money ball event which is great to cease power but not very efficient to choose the best candidate. What they are demonstrating is what a true candidate should be like. Lies tend to get votes But what happens after? a platform should inform and by example they are showing us what a voter should look for, asking and request for the common good. I wish it were the time we could vote for such deep and In depth candidates in the final, for with public support they could change the state of this nation. Well, if it is not to be, let it be that what these two great minds have set us on a path of enlightened government knowledge. This knowledge to be used on the local level that the people can make change for humans all and not corporations and dark money.
This is my candidate. Period.

Well, America, you have the 3rd option, and they are def best if you want things to change fundamentally.
Real talk!
Wisdom
One can simplify the entire Trump discussion with this key point: Trump based his campaign on the idea of imprisoning numerous individuals. He vocally expressed his desire to imprison Obama, Hillary (“Lock her up!”), Pelosi, AOC, the Central Park Five, and many others. Therefore, while it may be argued that Trump is facing prosecution for actions that others commonly engage in, this argument is immaterial. The essential truth is that some individuals do face legal consequences for their wrongdoings, and Trump exemplifies the type of person who should be held accountable by the justice system. No black leader endorse Trump. They mince words and discuss how bad Biden is but like the host of this show they will not vote for him. More blacks are public about that fact.

If he became president it would be the best thing that could happen for America and the world. 🙏🏻
I really enjoyed this conversation, there’s so much that I agreed with. I believe the key is for people to organize along class lines rather than race. That was happening in 2013 with the Occupy Wall-street movement. That was such a threat to the elite that they suddenly had to turn up the rhetoric on race and create a distraction and preserve their safety. As much as I agree with Dr West and Mrs Abdullah I believe we are still a long way off from breaking the stranglehold the 2 parties have on the political system today. It’s a great goal to get rid of the duopoly but It’s realistically not going to happen in the next 8 months. I think the best thing that Black people can do in striving to reach that goal is to start by breaking the strangle hold of the democrat party on Black people. What’s unique about this upcoming election is that we know what a Trump presidency looks like and what a Biden presidency looks like and to me Trump looks better by a long shot. We heard all the fear-mongering before and he did a better job in 4 years while under constant attack from establishment Democrats and Republicans who worked everyday to undermine his presidency. If we as a people aren’t able to divorce the democrats and show the world that we are fluid in our support we’ll continue to be taken advantage of period.
