One would think Thom, as the nation's leading progressive talker, you would be amplifying the message of a humanist and disciple of Martin Luther King Jr rather than talking the cowardly position of establishment political punditry. A progressive talker should be offering reasons why Dr West's candidacy would be therapeutic for a nation darkened by perpetual war, militarized police, record wealth inequality, inaccessible and unaffordable health care and a political expediency that demands support from a fearful and undemanding base. To pretend his aspirations are idealistic while we are on the brink of nuclear confrontation, climate disaster and civil war is doing the job of corporate America in entrenching four more years of misery for the working class, the middle class and the poor. Perhaps you need to examine why you called Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders "practically identical" in 2016, or why you proclaimed Hillary Clinton to be a "brilliant" Secretary of State or Biden to be the next FDR. What we need to heal the nation is not only an anti-Trump but an anti-Biden, but apparently you think selling dog food and nutritional supplements are more important than the survival of humanity and the planet.
