Final note on this: seeing a lot of people in the comments claiming that West was a 'spoiler' candidate. All I have to say is dude's campaign was effectively done by the summer of 2024. By the fall it was just a lawsuit to get on the ballot in NC and nothing else. He spoiled nothing.

Sadly, this is who Cornel West has been for years. If you're nice and cordial to him, no matter your ideology, he's on your side. The second you question him, the man's an absolute ghost.
Why would Cornel West, a man who serves on the board of a far right education group with Christopher Rufo, do this?

I'd also add that West's 2024 run might be one of the most hilarious bad attempts to run for president. He started out as the nominee for the People's Party & made his announcement alongside alleged rapist and party founder Nick Brana. This came after accusations against Brana emerged.

What followed was West discovering what all first time candidates discover: that getting on every state ballot is complicated and ridiculously hard. Some states it's easier to be an independent, others its easier to just start your own party (such as his Justice for All Party).

For those of you who have never heard of Shiva Ayyadurai, this lawsuit is the just the tip of the iceberg. Dude is definitely in the running for the most unhinged guy on the far right.

Trans people are fighting to keep rights they had ten years ago—in 2016. It is not the same as fighting for rights in the first instance. So please I beg of you, knock it off with this “purity test” horseshit.
You know, the purity tests when trying to change society only make things worse. Im old enough to remember the fight for gay rights starting in the 80’s. We didnt change hearts and minds by demanding 100% adherence to everything. It came by increments. All you are doing is helping the magats.

In case you need a quick rebuttal to anyone who says that Dems have to resort to anti-trans bigotry in order to win.
"Dems have to say anti-trans things to win" Turek edition: Turek made his first batch of anti-trans statements from September 8th to 11th. On 9/8, Turek has polling an average of 46.4% As of today? 46.1% Once again, it looks a lot like anti-trans policy doesn't help.
Same for Mary Peltola
Mary Peltola released her anti-trans ad on September 21st. On that date, RCP's poll average had her leading 50.2% to incumbent Dan Sullivan's 48.1%. As of today, those numbers are 48.5% for Peltola, 47% for Sullivan. Really looks like going anti-trans gained Peltola absolutely nothing.
Same for James Talarico.
"James Talarico has to say anti-trans things in order for him to win" is so utterly divorced from basic reality. It didn't help Colin Allred win when he did the same thing in 2024 and, based on polling, it hasn't resulted in Talarico increasing his polling numbers whatsoever.

Small note: Josh Turek's wording in this ad is the same language the GOP uses to include puberty blockers & hormones. This ad isn't just him agreeing with Marjorie Taylor Greene and Dan Crenshaw's bills to ban Medicare for youth trans health, it's him saying the bills didn't go far enough.
Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

This is where "it's just trans sports bans" leads you, Democrats supporting overtly genocidal policies that would kill tens of thousands of trans people. But at least we'll be marched into the camps by someone in blue, right?

I'm blocking @mary1kathy.bsky.social and adding the account to my blocklists. Life is too short and the times are too serious to fuck around with disinformation and "A.i." bullshit. For accountability, here's the screenshot of the video they posted.
