Kanye is out (UPDATE: Kanye is in again)

Reminder that Ballot access is hard to obtain if you are not one of (in this case) big four, all of whom have already decided the tickets. De La Fuente has seemingly infinite money but only got on the ballot in states by using the reform party's infrastructure. With COVID lowering the accessibility to signatures, things get even harder.

Therefore, this screams of attention-whoring, and probably ends before the the month if that. OTOH this just might be preparation for announcing some other branded product, especially considering the timing of everything,

Yeah, I thought Kanye was past releasing big albums and was more about making money off money, but I guess he isn't. Honestly for a guy with an ego the size of Jupiter I wouldn't be surprised if Kanye2020 is a song on the album, which is the reason for all this hubub.

Of course he's not actually running, its a stunt for the album. However, Dems should still stop wetting the bed. Nobody really likes self-centered celebrates.

How do I not freak out. It’s totally irrational to freak out but seeing the sudden enthusiasm scares me.

You are literally in another thread talking about not freaking out.

The atmosphere is starting to get to me help

Go outside and enjoy all the fireworks your neighbors are setting off. Put on a podcast or your favorite music.

Going from previous third party bids, he would probably take a share of the Black vote that is between one third and one half of his share of the total vote. I'm not sure Kanye's race will have any influence. By the way he would likely win more Black Republicans than Black Democrats.

By the way, why is he doing this? Wasn't he a Trump stan? A third-party bid seems a good way to help Trump lose.

He's doing it to promote his new music and then will drop out. He's done this sort of thing before. I'm old enough to remember when Kid Rock ran for Michigan senate and then recused himself after dropping his album.

No, it's an album stunt. It however has revealed who has already drunk too much koolaid and never was a friend despite their attempts at appeal...like say Musk.

I wouldn't call him a genius (more like crazyman) but this is basically been my thoughts throughout the entire process, thoughts that I should have made clear throughout this and the absurd amount of other Kanye threads (until they were appropriately merged).

Oh what a surprise, it looks to all have been a stunt for his album...just like I have repeatedly said.

The barest of bare minimums is an exploratory committee and an FEC filing. Until those two are in place, everyone should treat this as the popularity stunt it is.

Can someone tell me why the hell Elon Musk is supporting this trainwreck?

Other than attention? ....Yeah, it's just for attention.

I think Musk's decision to support it is a sign that Kanye actually isn't going to try anything and this is just a popularity stunt. Musk and Telsa keep courting California democrats both in the state and Washington in order to avoid the eventual retribution and crackdown via regulations. Musk furthers this goal by marketing/courting young voters, so as to ensure the progressive radicals never realize they are making friends with a libertarian. So if Musk has decided to further the marketing scheme here, he knows Kanye won't electorally move against the democrats and therefore leave him on the outside.

Told ya.
