Harlan Crow, the billionaire political donor with controversial links to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, has given the maximum contribution to Cornel West’s campaign for president.

Crow has previously called the longtime Princeton professor a “good friend,” according to The Wall Street Journal.

    Which will immediately be forgotten about by the “Enlightened Centerist voters”

    There is no planet on which “Enlightened Centrists” vote or even pretend they would vote for Cornell West. He’s as left as left gets.

    This is about siren-songing leftwing voters to go third party. See @jimmydoreisalefty for an example of what that looks like.

      It looks like a really obvious spammer?

            I just think its important to acknowledge that for these people, they believe the reality they are engaged with.

            It doesn’t matter that literally every one knows Jimmy Dore is a grifter and a pariah. There is a cult of secret knowledge that people will always want to be a part of. There always has been.

              It’s also important to acknowledge that if someone constantly posts links to something regardless of context, they’re spamming.
