“I am against racism, sexism, white supremacy and male supremacy. And she is going to be attacked in that way, so she is to be defended based on principle… I have a love for black folks even when I have deep disagreements with them. Because I’m still fighting for them! They might not even see it. They say Brother West how are you fighting for us and not voting for Harris? Well, I got a different analysis of things, but everything I say and do is rooted in trying to empower the least of these. You don’t love black folk in order for them to love you back, you love black folk because they are WORTHY.” – Dr. Cornel West, 2024 Presidential Candidate, Independent
🗣️Dr. West also addressed the idea that third party candidates can’t win; they only steal votes from the mainstream Republican or Democratic candidates: “The idea that any one candidate is responsible for somebody else’s loss is an illusion. If we put out the best vision and policies that we have, let the people decide. That’s not a matter of me stealing or them stealing. Some will come to me and hear my vision and say Brother West I’m with you, I want to vote my virtues, I want to vote my values, I WANT TO VOTE WHAT I REALLY, REALLY BELIEVE… AND I BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU STAND FOR.”
