All they're doing is helping Trump.

Fuck both of those militant black agenda pushing assholes and any black or white assholes stupid enough to piss away their vote on them.

West is a cool dude.
He was one of my favorite guests when I used to watch Bill Maher.
I always pictured him singing the Ike Turner part in Proud Mary.

If he ran in the Democratic Primary, I might have tossed him a vote.
He has a PhD, and I usually respect doctors.

This should make the MAGATs very happy in the hopes that he'll draw votes from Biden.

West is a very intelligent man, but he just doesn't "get it" about politics.
While he may not have similar views, he looks at politics exactly the way Oom does.

Serious politics are about getting what you want into a binary choice.
Until you do, you're not going to get what you want,
and it becomes more about what you most don't want.

Neither Oom nor West understand that.

Do you think he'll pull enough support from Biden to get #TRE45ON back in our White House?

No chance.

The election will be all about turnout.

People who's #1 priority is beating Trump
understand that Biden, for all of his shortcomings,
is the only one who can do it.

Protest and personal conscience votes certainly aren't going to do it in the real world.

If enough people, the primary concern of whom is beating Trump,
don't vote in the swing states,
then our best bet is to end the human era with WWIII [from Nifty's perspective].

Personally speaking, I can handle that better than another Trump term.
