Last Wednesday [September 6, 2023], The Jimmy Dore Show welcomed guest Cornel West.
The 2024 Green Party presidential candidate had a discussion with the host which turned out heated and, unfortunately, dissatisfying.
Numerous other sources—Revolutionary Blackout, Due Dissidence, Hard Lens Media, The Kim Iversen Show et al.—weighted in. (I think the best take came from Garland Nixon.) I did not find myself in disagreement with much. But, I am looking at this, perhaps, differently.
I have to admit…I was never invested in Cornel West. It does not mean I was not willing to consider him. It just means that I was not getting excited. (I am not moved by anyone.)
The presidency, and the campaigning, requires unique talent and skill in an individual. One certainty has to sustain all the way from the announcement of a candidacy throughout all steps to the general election (win or not).
It would be good if Cornel West, and all the key people in his campaign, shore up his weaknesses to get him to become focused—especially on the issues at the forefront—as well as organized and strong.
