It’s true they aren’t running him. But there is a possibility he could be a spoiler. Though I think for West it’s about ideas, and trying to pull a solidly Right wing democrat towards the center right at least. If not to even acknowledge the center and left as well. And I support that.

However things have gotten so dysfunctional and margins razor thin. Running as a 3rd party that would traditionally pull from the encumbant’s support right now is inviting fascism. If West was running as a Democrat during a primary. He’d likely have my interest and vote like Sanders did. But this? I generally have a pretty good opinion of West. But only a fool would run as the candidate for a party that not only can’t get anyone elected. But doesn’t even try. If the Greens had some sort of general presence in state and local politics it still wouldn’t make a lot of sense. But they don’t even have that.
