Going to back to the point of this thread. Someone like West is not going to win. Vote for him if you want, but if you’re in a state that is going to be tight, voting for him will make it easier for the far right candidate to get certified.
One of those candidates is literally running on overturning democratic elections, giving even more money and free rein to private industry, and having his family in appointmented positions.
biden is far right: he expanded the surveillance and arrest powers of the state, imposed harsher prison sentences, voted for every military action he had an opportunity to, voted for taarp, opposed bussing… everything about him is far right. i don’t want to defend any politician, so i’m not going to say trump did anything good (or, at least i won’t try to enumerate any good things he might have done), but for every far right policy you think he may have, biden has two skeletons in the closet.
Going back to my main point, if you don’t like the things you just listed, you’re reeeeally not going to like the other guy’s policies. And a vote for West will make it easier for the other guy to win.

the Democrats and Republicans are both running far right candidates.

The false equivalency stuff needs to end.
that’s not what far right means, and there is no false equivalency being made
What is it to you? Increased authoritarianism and privatization are cornerstones of most popular definitions of right wing politics.

a vote for biden makes it easier for biden to win, and i don’t want that to happen. i’m going to vote for the person i do want to win.
