Wait, Cornel West? How committed you can be to resisting Trump when you spent the campaign nor merely refusing to endorse but actively opposing the only person who could have stopped Trump from assuming office?

There is no remotely coherent defense of federal third party politics as a tool for progressive change, of course. But it’s this kind of thing that really gives away the show. West was willing to urge swing-state voters to vote for Kerry in 2004, although Kerry is a DLC-affiliated moderate whose platform was much, much less left-wing than Hillary Clinton’s. For whatever reason, the people making this kind of argument rarely have any trouble focusing on the urgency of getting Republicans out of office once they’re in power — or even when they’ve been elected but not inaugurated, apparently — even as they actively oppose efforts to stop them ex ante. But this stance is not merely wrong but self-refuting.
