As crazy as a West candidacy may seem at first glance, it could actually have a profound impact on the outcome of the election.As a jaunty little tune played in the background, West said, “In these bleak times, I have decided to run for truth and justice, which takes the form of running for president of the United States as a candidate for the People’s Party. I enter in the quest for truth. I enter in the quest for justice. And the presidency is just one vehicle to pursue that truth and justice.
She explained, “If you play to win and you are Cornel West, and you are still not satisfied with the trajectory of the Democratic Party being progressive enough for you under a Biden/Harris administration, then you’re going to run to the left of them. Number one.” Few would argue that West could garner anywhere near 19% of the vote, as Perot did in 1992, or win 12 state primaries, as Kennedy did in 1980. But the 2016 election shows that far smaller shares of the vote can sway the outcome.
And then, of course, there’s Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the 69-year-old scion of one of America’s most famous political families.
