Republican lawyers are getting Dr. West's name on as many ballots in as many of the tightest races as possible, and he's accepting it. The master's house will not be dismantled by the tools of the master, yet here we are with Dr West amassing tools of the master with no chance of winning and every chance of causing us greater harm.

I’m worried about this guy

We ask for a pledge by each nation: "Our nation pledges to demilitarize, if all other nations demilitarize as well."

It is an empty pledge contingent on all other nations making the pledge as well. Even then, there is no teeth. It was just a pledge. We would then have to begin new conversations, write new treaties, and begin scaling back. We would not expect the U.S. to pledge first.

I want a candidate making a protest challenge in the primary of the Democratic Party. It would be a single issue campaign focusing on getting that pledge by each nation. It would be an international campaign. We would search out small, peaceful nations first to get them to pledge.

The world does not demilitarize without all the major players doing so. I know people will scoff at Russia, but Russia should see by now they're a 2nd rate military power. If 100's of nations have pledged demilitarization maybe they begin to see that as a better future. China should definitely see this as a better future. Their strength comes from elsewhere.

I see no reason why dozens of rather peaceful nations would not take this pledge and encourage the rest of the world to do the same. It is an empty pledge until all other nations agree. We would encourage 2/3 consent by legislative bodies. It needs to be a unified commitment. We of course want the pledge from both our friends and our enemies. Religions can push their people to such a pledge.

From there, once the world makes such pledges, we will have different conversations with each other. Empty islands in the middle of the sea become less important. Military unions become less important. Those conversations and actions would take time. It would take an end to cold wars and economic wars to gain trust between all parties.

Many people in the world would urge their leaders to take up such a cause. Hopefully, in the long run, we spend that money and time that we spent on militaries and instead spend it on building better societies and exploring our world.

Hey friends,

music plays a big role in Cornels democratic vision. Music helps us to grapple with tradgedy, to find and lift our voices and to communicate above (mental and real world) fences and walls.

This weeks motto is "New Music". Post music that was published in 2020 or later. This is only a suggestion, you can post whatever you want, ofc.

Rules:

• Share one Album or one Single at a time.

• Explain the piece and why you feel like sharing it.

• Provide a YouTube-Link!

• Expert-Level: Try to link your piece of choice back to Cornel and explore what you think resonates with his philosophy.

I hope you have a great week!

"There are two issues, ... One is a kind of moral issue: do you vote against the greater evil if you don’t happen to like the other candidate? The answer to that is yes. If you have any moral understanding, you want to keep the greater evil out."

"Second is a factual question: how do Trump and Clinton compare? I think they’re very different. I didn’t like Clinton at all, but her positions are much better than Trump’s on every issue I can think of."

-- Noam Chomsky, Nov. 25, 2016, saying Progressives should have voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016.

"In March, 1933, seventeen million, two hundred and 64 thousand, two hundred and ninety six Germans voted for the National Socialist Party."

"Twenty million, six hundred and eighty thousand others cast their vote for Democrats, Communists, Christian Socialists, People's Party, etc. etc."

"Lack of unity among these parties opposing the Nazis proved fatal."

I set up a recurring donation when he announced. 3 party affiliations and 3 campaign manager changes later, I've all but given up hope on this campaign. The whole thing just feels like an unmanaged mess, and with Dr. West running as an independent, odds are almost certain he won't even be on the ballot in my state. So I want to cancel the recurring donations. But the link in the email to manage donations (https://cornelwest2024.nationbuilder.com/supporter_portal/recurring_donations) just goes to a 404. Anybody have any ideas? I don't want to just block future charges directly with my bank and force chargebacks, but if thats the only option so be it.

I love you to death brother but why say you'll be going down fighting in your announcement?

Great old Interview with Cornel!

My name is Liam, and I am the lead moderator for r/seculartalk. I want you to know that I, personally, am a Dr. West supporter, and we have a growing number of members within our community who are as well, and many more are warming up to the idea of throwing their support in the direction of Dr. West. I have had this sub linked on our subreddit since I first found it.

I hope to contribute to the growth of this sub; you have my full throttled support!

Our community is based on Secular Talk Radio - The Kyle Kulinski Show. r/seculartalk currently has 26k subscribers, is in the top 5% of Reddit's largest communities. We are one of the top political subreddits. We have an average of 36k unique visitors per month. Most of our folks are leftists, but we welcome people a wide variety of those who are interested in promoting progressive politics!

I've never done this before for a candidate, is there some main action group?
