Democratic jitters grow over Cornel West's third-party bid

*Snicker* Everyone saw what the party elites in the smokey back rooms did to Bernie Sanders.

[The Hill] Cornel West’s third-party presidential campaign is stirring up unpleasant flashbacks to 2016 for members of the Democratic Party, some of whom are starting to grow anxious about the effect it could have on President Biden’s reelection.

West, a philosopher, Ivy League academic and leftist, recently announced he is newly registered with the Green Party as he seeks to challenge Biden and the eventual Republican nominee for the White House.

He started out in the generically leftwing People’s Party, which originally intended to be Bernie Sander’s vehicle, but the Bern rejected them as unworthy. Mr. West was mocked for associating with them, so he moved over the the slightly less politically hapless Greens.

Now, some prominent figures supporting Biden, from the head of the Democratic National Committee to veteran campaign hands, are already sounding the alarm about his quixotic White House run.

"This is not the time in order to experiment. This is not the time to play around on the margins," warned DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison, a close Biden confidant, over the weekend.

Seven years ago, when Hillary Clinton lost to former President Donald Trump, many in her orbit blamed Green Party nominee Jill Stein as a factor that contributed to her defeat. Heading into 2024, Democrats worry West could emerge as a similar spoiler by earning just enough votes to fracture the coalition Biden needs to win.

#2 Ah, the Entitlement Party. If he can suck near 20 percent of his self identified special interest group from the limousine commies, that'll shut down the urban ballot box stuffing.
