In what way?
I would say it is more because of people that try to gatekeep what people say and do.
But in reality, it just because we have a shitty political system and a culture full of shallow people who unwilling to use rational thought instead of shallow judgements.
If leftists voted for Hillary in 2016, abortion would still be legal.
So, to suggest voting for West, you must either be celebrating the rescinding of reproductive rights for women, or you are unable to comprehend the connection.
If centrists voted for Bernie in 2016, abortion would still be legal.
Why is it always leftists that have to sacrifice their ideals for centrists/right-wingers?
Bernie wasn't on the ballot, but you are clearly quite well aware of that. Blocking for enabling fascism.
He was in the primaries, why didn't they vote for him then?
You can't block reality, stop supporting right wing politicians.
I never suggested any such thing. Nice strawman.
