In reply to the discussion: Bill Maher and Cornell West really got into it last night [View all]BzaDem
(11,142 posts)18. I think you misunderstand his motivations.
He has much more to complain about when Trump is president. So of course, he takes actions (such as supporting Jill Stein) that made a Trump presidency more likely, all so he has more to complain about on the other side.
He of course has the right to support whoever he wants. But why anyone distinguishes him from any Trump-supporting Republican is beyond me.

Cornell's wing of the left is much more interested in fighting with Democrats than fighting Trump.
