      There is no planet on which “Enlightened Centrists” vote or even pretend they would vote for Cornell West. He’s as left as left gets.

      This is about siren-songing leftwing voters to go third party. See @jimmydoreisalefty for an example of what that looks like.

        It looks like a really obvious spammer?

          I think he believes what he says. I’ve dug into it with him.

            Spammers can believe what they say.

              I just think its important to acknowledge that for these people, they believe the reality they are engaged with.

              It doesn’t matter that literally every one knows Jimmy Dore is a grifter and a pariah. There is a cult of secret knowledge that people will always want to be a part of. There always has been.

                It’s also important to acknowledge that if someone constantly posts links to something regardless of context, they’re spamming.
