West, who is running as a member of the People’s Party, said he will focus on anti-war and anti-poverty initiatives.

West said he would prioritize fighting to end poverty by providing a “living wage” for all, healthcare for all and guaranteed housing.

He also mentioned fighting mass incarceration and climate change as part of his platform.

Included in his announcement video was a clip from a 2022 interview with comedian Bill Maher, during which he bemoaned the fact Americans had to choose between “neofascists” like former President Donald Trump and “milquetoast neoliberals” like President Joe Biden.

He also accused Republicans and Democrats of not wanting to tell what he called the “truth” about the Ukraine war and the Pentagon, as well as Wall Street and Big Tech.

      • Recycled ending - DeSantis wins and liberals, instead of genuinely taking to heart the betrayal of the working class by warmongering Democrats, let their racism/classism show when they blame West and poor minority voters for being spoilers.

    providing a “living wage” for all

    It’s the bloody Gotha program all over again. What is “living wage”? Who decides that? Perhaps we should abolish wage slavery to begin with?

      What is “Classic Learning”? Cause if it’s supported by republicans I can only assume it involves religious indoctrination of some kind.

    Part of me would have hope he would be serious about this. Part of me has to wonder if this is a grift to rake in donations.
