Cornel West attacks Hillary, endorses Jill Stein's spolier effort

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

yeah, brilliant move naming this grandstander to the platform committee, Bernie...
----

Vocal civil rights activist Cornel West previously endorsed Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders for president early on in the Democratic race. Even after that fell through when Sanders lost the primary, he and West remained a team, fighting for their progressive agenda on the Democratic Party platform. But since, Sanders officially endorsed presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton last week after the former secretary of state adopted some of Sanders’ most important policy proposals, and West decided to follow a different path. Which takes us to West’s endorsement of the Green Party’s Jill Stein.

1. Both West and Stein are irrelevant, as validated by Sanders' endorsement of Hillary

2. Fuck Cornel West.

Just, fuck him.

3. So, a non-Democrat was placed on the Democratic Party platform committee. Imagine that.

Being registered as a Democrat is one thing, but living as one is another. It sure sounds like some other people didn't care for West telling them that only his opinion matters. West has entered the realm of the less than 1%er's of a different kind.

4. West did the same thing to Obama.

He had some crust to sit on the platform committee. I hope that this disqualifies him from attending the convention.

5. Lololol, many of us pointed out the fact that it was a big ooops

for Sanders to pick that loon as a surrogate to begin with.

6. Yes. Many did ... but, they didn't know what they were talking about ...

they had only been following him since before his 2008 tantrum.

9. Lol, sooooo weird.

7. When you are running against Adolf Hitler

it doesn't matter who the opponent is, you back her (or him).

8. Why was he put on the platform again?
