"Cornel West's Unyielding Determination to Push Boundaries"

Cornel West, a philosopher, actor, political activist, and spoken word artist, is running for president on the Green Party ticket. After initially considering the People's Party, West shifted his focus to the Green Party due to their broader ballot access. He criticizes the Democratic Party for not addressing the needs of the poor and working people, which he believes enables the rise of figures like Trump. West advocates for a shift in U.S. foreign policy, including meeting with world leaders to promote peace and justice, and a reduction in American military presence around the world. He also emphasizes the importance of addressing racial and economic inequality, including through policies like reparations and a living wage.
