He'll be on the ballot. Nothing happens, until it does. The odds aren't good but I'll take an infinitesimal opening at real systemic change over choosing between a giant douchebag and a turd sandwich. There is a universe where Joe Biden strengthens his position by offering actual material concessions to voters that are considering voting for Cornel West. If you're worried about independent voters choosing green over blue, you should be pushing Biden and the Dems to make a more compelling case to those voters. Their failure to do so is their missed opportunity.

I didn't imply anything. Republicans are worse is not a direct answer to my question. It is insufficient to play lesser evil when either option will drive you off an existential cliff.

What are the Democrats doing for you exactly? IMO Biden is the spoiler candidate, if he has nothing to offer it is on him to court the voters that are dissatisfied with their current options.

I support individuals, not parties as a whole. If he gets to the general election ballot I'll vote for Cornel West on the green party ticket.
