this is no different than any other bi-polar person posting that they’re going to run for president

it means nothing and shouldn’t be taken seriously

Happy July 4th

7/4/2020 11:11:22 PM

^
That’s what people said about trump

I think this probably means nothing but it’s not a given. Elon musk already tweeted support for Kanye.

7/5/2020 12:49:58 AM

was Trump about to drop an album before a random tweet about running for president?

I may have missed that release if he did, but I am certain he didn’t announce his candidacy 4 months before the election

this shouldn’t be taken seriously at all. this isn’t even the first time he’s made a statement about running for president

[Edited on July 5, 2020 at 1:09 AM. Reason : lol at mentioning Elon Musk as if that means anything ]

He would instantly be the most level-headed candidate in the race.

Only way to top a former nude model as First Lady is to have someone who is famous for her butt.

I mean if choices were Biden, Trump, and West...I’d legitimately debate between Biden and West.

7/5/2020 7:46:05 PM

If he does run, which he probably won't, some people think he would split Trump's votes, and some say he would split Biden's votes. Maybe he will fuck over the Democrats like Nader probably did in 2000, but this time, seemingly intentionally(?)

7/5/2020 8:07:19 PM

"Debating" between West and Biden is an utter joke. Have you learned nothing from the last inexperienced egomaniac to hold office?

7/5/2020 8:25:11 PM

but kanye is also an egomaniac

I guess I get the instinct to think this but it’s patently moronic when you consider how bad trump has been. His ignorance and incompetence and shallow bench of connections to experts have made him the laughing stock of the world. Even Kim jong un has been laughing about how he’s played trump and there’s nothing we can point to to dispute this. Trump has excessively relied on cronies and simpletons and interest groups to fill positions— he asked the president doctor to be surgeon general and asked his the af1 pilot to be head of the faa. He relies on Fox News or scum bags like Bolton to find and recommend people. He just blindly picks judges from the heritage foundation. He has no ability to be critical or skeptical of information from other gov agencies, doesn’t know who to trust, and just calls the entire apparatus a deep state out to get him.

West would have similar failures, even though I don’t think Kanye is fundamentally a vicious sociopath, he would be a disastrous president.

Actually, it is a little different.

For one thing, Kayne is friends with Trump. Aside from that, Kayne voters and Trump voters are all the same kind of moron/village idiot, so this is semi-clever way to play spoiler against Biden.

That said, I'd still rather have a whore like Kim in the WH than an ESL tramp like Melania.

It started off elitist then it got sexist and it ended xenophobic.

Holy dumb.

"Already" like Musk is a player in this space quit being such a moron.

7/6/2020 1:16:42 AM

I don't know about this space, but he certainly is a player in THE space.

7/6/2020 7:28:40 AM

If Kanye does end up legitimately running, what voters do you think he would ciphon from Biden?

7/6/2020 7:29:51 AM

none

7/6/2020 11:16:43 AM

Kanye is definitely running








an album release

7/6/2020 12:02:53 PM

^^^ it's a fucking publicity stunt dude come on.

You do know he's married to a Kardashian right?

And the election is like 4 months away.

And he won't be on any ballot.

And outside of some irresponsible write-ins he will receive zero votes.

I'm really disappointed Kanye didn't take a firm stand against fluoridation. They already put it in the water. It's only a matter of time before they start putting it in ice cream and everything else.

Anyone who posted in this thread without irony or skepticism should be banned from all political conversation for eternity.

He paid $35,000 to get on the ballot in Oklahoma, and the Birthday Party has been registered with the FEC as a political party.
