2024 Third Party and Independent Candidate General discussion

I seriously thought the People's Party would never be relevant again so I stopped keeping track of all the horrible facts about it.

It was originally just the Sanders 2020 campaign minus Bernie Sanders himself, keeping the flame alive as a vehicle for grifting money and attacking elected Democrats.  Then their online presence (primarily a Twitter account) got steadily more and more insane in a desperate attempt to stay relevant as former Bernie superstars like Nina Turner and Ryan Knight faded into irrelevance, while those who stayed relevant (like Jimmy Dore) abandoned any notion of caring about their party.

I guess this Cornel West run is the latest attempt to try and keep some semblance of pretending to be a real organization.  Do you think Jimmy Dore will introduce him at his campaign events?  Or will he stick to Shaun King, the Gravel teens, and that one university professor who really loves Putin?

It's also weird because Marianne Williamson was the main non-Bernie-alum in the People's Party and in case you haven't heard, she's also running for president.

Btw speaking of Bernieworld grift operations I just checked the Sanders Institute page out of curiosity and Tulsi has in fact been removed!  They also added an obituary for Harry Belafonte in April.  So someone is still updating this totally defunct site for some reason.  Which begs the question of why Shaun King is still prominently featured as a Sanders Institute Fellow.
