The sentimental excitement over the new Harris-Walz ticket hides and conceals the corrupt two-party system that is saturated with big money, corporate power and militaristic policies at home and abroad. The inescapable realities of the barbaric genocide in Gaza, the massive social misery of poverty, homelessness and sixty percent of Americans living paycheck to paycheck still haunt us! We will not escape the blowback of escalating war, wealth inequality and civic breakdown with more myopic self-congratulation towards a deeply unjust status quo! Anti-fascism never wins with neoliberal neglect and anti-democratic practices parading as saving the soul of the nation! Only a serious quest for truth, justice and love can honestly confront our desperation, division and disintegration. Let us never confuse and conflate market-driven optimism with genuine democratic hope! #TruthJusticeLove #Vision2025 cornelwest2024.com

As I predicted last year, brother Biden has had his LBJ moment and he is now out of the race! Despite the lies of his fellow Democrats, he was not a great or excellent president. He was first and foremost an enabler of genocide in Gaza, with over 15,000 Palestinian children murdered! The same cold-hearted rich donors will now shift to sister Harris or someone else with the same policies that neglect poor and working people! We deserve better than Trump’s neofascist project and the Democratic Party’s militaristic agenda! #TruthJusticeLove cornelwest2024.com #BidenOut
