Those who have read my comments, know that I gravitate towards the simplest explanation. I consider myself a realist, a pessimist if you wish. Pessimists are pleasantly disappointed, optimist are heartbreakedly disappointed. I'd rather be pleasantly surprised than heartbroken.

So here is my take, Cornell West,RFK jr, are not stupid. they know that their candidacy will take votes away from Biden, and that they don't have a chance in hell of winning against Trump or any right winger, so why are they playing the spoiler.? Compromised? Corrupt? Ego.
Cornell West, especially will split the black community by gender. Male blacks, many have already indicated that they will vote for the racist Trump, to give Biden and the Democrats the finger, because they believe that they have not done enough for them. Well I agree, but being pissed at the kitty is not a reason to take a cougar into your house. Especially one that will kill and eat you, which Trump has proclaimed often.
I believe it was you who, on this forum, called my attention to the Constitution's Article 1, Section 4, Clause 1 which gives Congress authority to regulate Federal elections in the states. I had previously been under the mistaken apprehension that getting Ranked Choice Voting could only be achieved through a long and arduous state-by-state process. The First-Past-The Post-plurality system we are currently burdened with gives an advantage to the incumbent candidates of both parties of the duopoly, but I would like to hope that the Democrats would have the integrity, when they control both Houses, to pass a bill mandating the Ranked Choice Ballot henceforth be used in all Federal elections. That, as Thom observed, would destroy the spoiler effect, which is the principle mechanism maintaining the political duopoly.
I think the Dems have a good chance of retaking the government. You won't hear that from the corporate media though, after all they are conservative, owned and controlled by the money powers.
Remember the red wave that media forecasted in 2020, Never happened, how disappointed they were.
Compromised and money. Sinema, if she runs, will take votes away from democrats in AZ. She is currently running an ad all over the papers touting her "help" with the new monument and her picture with Native Americans, who swing the vote in AZ. She has never met with any of her constitutents but flies around the country collecting money from banks, pharma and oil. I just received an email asking for 5$ so I'm assuming she'll run as a spoiler. No Labels or Sinema will throw AZ to the Republicans, even if the Dems spend alot of money on voter education.
Agreed, let's keep our eyes on the DSCC, they should be running a vigorous (expensive) campaign, pointing out the treachery of Sinema. She is no longer a Democrat, hence not even a yellow dog.
Chuck Schumer is not a leader, neither was Harry Reid. Dems have no guts, Republicans have no shame, and that is why Dems lose.
Thank you for your comments. RFKjr at least has the honesty to run against Biden in the primary. I don't understand West. What a bitter disappointment he has turned out to be.
IIRC RFK Jr, has threatened to run as an independent if he doesn't show as winner of the Primary, but is that enough time (and money) to get on the ballots of all states.
Roger on Cornell West, all I can think of is that he is secret Trump Humper, or is so pissed that he doesn't care if America is turned into a racist, misogynist, religious, white nationalist dictatorship. He just wants to stick it to the man, even if it harms himself and his family.

Talk about stupid, beyond being a Quisling

Never thought of that one. Yegads you are correct
