What's the go with Cornel West in the US presidential election?
From my outside perspective, he seems like an amazing candidate with actual left-wing policies and ideas, yet I've never heard a single American mention his name?
You're viewing a single thread.
His website isn't secure and looks ancient. Also the front page is just a closeup of his face. It is clearly focused on shilling for his speaking and books. So based off of that somewhat shallow look, I would say he is just running as a publicity stunt for his business. Which is fine, I guess, but not someone that I would vote for.
Edited to add: He actually does have a campaign website at cornelwest2024 that I initially missed. I went to the top result which was his main website.

Is his presidential run website.
You would've been looking at his 'personal' website. He's been a popular figure for decades, has worked at 4 Ivy league uni's, and even cameos in the Matrix 2/3 movies so I don't think he needs to do a presidential run to drum up book sales.
He's clearly not a popular figure if you've never heard his name.
His policies seem alright but are more like a dreamy wishlist rather than anything achievable. The paragraph of his wiki about his 2024 presidental run is more convincing than his website to me. And that is saying something.
I meant as in I hadn’t heard his name in relationship to the election.
Also have you seen a political website? His is pretty good by standards. Look at Bidens for example, it’s a pop-up asking for donations and a link to a mailing list, not even a quick description on policies.
Yes, A one page bulleted list of vague policies under 10 headings all containing the word justice at the end is not convincing. Not to mention the typo. Kinda seems like you are looking at him through rose-colored glasses.
Your right Biden's sucks too, but at least people know what to expect from him. It's a lot harder for an independent outsider to get votes than a known person.
