Cornell West said tonight that he might ditch Jill Stein (VIDEO)

At the end of this video, Bill Maher pins West down and gets him to concede that, if Stein is too far behind and he is faced of a choice between Trupm and Clinton, he will vote strategically against fascism.

1. Too bad, he lost his last ounce of credibility

when he jumped on that bandwagon.

2. Too far behind? What's a good polling number for the Green party? Five percent?

3. Snort!

[frazzled]

4. That would be a massive increase over their previous numbers

In 2012, Jill Stein received 0.36% of the vote (about a third of one percent), with her name appearing on 83% of ballots across the nation.

I'd say, she might be able to get up to 1.2%, given the BoB surge, thereby quadrupling her previous performance. Which would be yuuuuuge!!

5. I think Nader got almost 3 percent back in the day

Enough to make a significant difference with drastic consequences.

6. LOL, OK, basically Brother Cornel said that he would vote for Hillary Clinton

nut...my gawd, all of THAT to get to that....

7. I openly cheered. I LOVE Cornell West's optimism, I love his stances, I HATE his tactics

and his willingness to support Jill Stein (anti-vaccer, which, in a vacuum, by itself would not ever allow me to vote for her), but when he said he'd vote for Clinton [when it's clear, towards the end of the race, that Jill Stein has no shot (which, really could be RIGHT NOW)], I still considered this a win.

Granted, I don't like that he's supporting a spoiler candidate with zero chance to win (and with STATED goals of electing Trump in order to stop him) to begin with, I'll still take the victory.

8. Who cares?

We don't want his support. As Bernie can tell you, it does more harm than good. Some "supporters" are useful as enemies.

Clowns should be laughed at.

Who
The
Hell
Cares
About
Cornell
West?

9. West is making a very good and logical deduction.

This is what a person who evaluates the problem and solves it in the best manner does.

10. Ha! Except that most of us reached this conclusion years ago, not some vague point in the future.

"Logical?"
