Longtime political philosopher and activist Cornel West has announced his run for President on the Green Party line. According to CNN, West has described the Biden administration as a “postponement of fascism,” and has criticized the Democratic establishment of treating the electorate like “a plantation where you got ownership status in terms of which way you vote.”

This hour, we’re joined by members of the local Green Party to discuss West’s candidacy and the impact they expect it to have. Our guests:
