Dr. West has stated that he's running to dismantle the US Empire.
Well, that's exactly who in reality he's running against - the United States hegemonic capitalist system, and its ruling class.
They will do everything and anything to prevent him from assuming that role. The US President has traditionally been one of the top pointman for the ruling class - someone they can effectively go to and push down on to get what they want.
Dr. West would turn it into the beginning of a more democratic function, one that serves the interests of the majority working class. That makes him a threat to the US ruling class, and their power.
They will try to discredit him. They will try to make up all sorts of shit to do so.
They will try to tar and feather him by association with everyone and anyone he's ever interacted with. They will twist, edit, and condense any word or phrase he has ever uttered into something that it's not if they think it'll serve that purpose.
They will make up things about him.
They will try set up criminal charges against him.
They will try to stop him from running - and at every level possible.
They will demonize him. They will make fun of him. They will throw everything and anything at him to try and stop him.
They will take every moment of his life until now, examine it, and twist any interaction into a means they thing will work for them.
And ... if he wins ...if he really succeeds ...
They will do everything to stop him from taking the nomination. They will impeach him likely on Day 1.
And if that doesn't work, well sadly look at JFK and what happened when he tried to stop the Vietnam war effort.
This is what Dr. West has to accept. This is what he's up against.
I will keep a read out for his platform, and who is running mate would be.
Meanwhile, the Green Party better get its act together and start finding a way to field candidates in the House and Senate. Because otherwise even if Dr. West wins, he's still gonna have to deal with the establishment ruling class via it's (more and more the same) brands - Democrat and Republican in this regard.
