West&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/left-wing-philosopher-launches-third-party-presidential-bid\/\" title=\"Philosopher launches third-party presidential campaign from the left.\">platform includes fighting<\/a> to end poverty, mass incarceration, wars, and ecological collapse, as well as guaranteeing housing, healthcare, education, and living wages for all.<\/p>\n<p>At 70 years old, West is a prominent philosopher whose works have focused on race and class in U.S. society. Although he enters the race with little hope of winning the White House, he has a chance of siphoning votes from Democratic President Joe Biden in next year&#8217;s election.<\/p>\n<h3>Third-Party Impact on Presidential Elections<\/h3>\n<p>The history of American presidential politics is littered with failed third-party attempts. However, some have had major impacts on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/what-is-going-on-minnesota-and-wisconsin-both-had-89-90-turnout-something-that-is-highly-unlikely\/\" title=\"What is Going On? Minnesota and Wisconsin BOTH had 89%-90% Turnout -- Something That Is Highly Unlikely\">presidential elections<\/a>. For example, Ross Perot&#8217;s third-party run in the 1992 election is widely seen as a significant factor in the defeat of former Republican president George H.W. Bush to Democrat Bill Clinton. Perot siphoned off a chunk of Republican voters in the nearly 20 million votes he received.<\/p>\n<p>In 2000, many analysts believe Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore would have beaten Republican George W. Bush if Green Party candidate Ralph Nader had not run. Nader appeared on the ballot in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/review-2000-mules\/\" title=\"REVIEW: \u20182000 Mules\u2019\">crucial swing states<\/a>, including Florida where the entire presidential election was decided by a few hundred votes, giving Bush the presidency.<\/p>\n<p>West, a professor at Union Theological Seminary in New York who previously taught at Harvard and Princeton universities, hopes to make a similar impact with his third<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/evan-mcmullin-is-a-democrat-and-a-fraud\/\" title=\"Evan McMullin Is A Democrat And A Fraud\">-party bid<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Join Cornel West in his fight to reintroduce America to the best of itself.
