California professor and Black Lives Matter activist Milena Abdullah — announced Wednesday as independent presidential candidate Cornel West’s VP pick — has regularly pushed defunding police departments and is on record claiming “virtually everything is racist” — even being a Taylor Swift fan.
Abdullah, 51, is the co-founder of the Los Angeles BLM chapter and the former chair of the department of Pan-African Studies at California State University.
She, like West, has been outspoken about racial relations in the US. In February, Abdullah said she felt like it was “slightly racist to be a Taylor Swift fan” as the music star appeared at Super Bowl Sunday to support boyfriend Travis Kelce.

don’t think this ticket will draw very many MAGA voters ...
Could draw in a lot of the BLM vote and pro hamas vote away from Biden
At least I don’t have to worry about being a racist
USELESS EATERS!
He's not going to improve his tiny numbers much by this pick. Maybe a handful of voters who think Biden is not leftist enough.
Is she the accountant?
He always reminds me of this In Living Colour character, Oswald Bates:
""First of all, we must internalize the 'flatulation' of the matter by transmitting the effervescence of the 'Indianisian' proximity in order to further segregate the crux of my venereal infection. Now, if I may retain my liquids here for one moment. I'd like to continue the 'redundance' of my quote, unquote 'intestinal tract', you see because to preclude on the issue of world domination would only circumvent - excuse me, circumcise the revelation that reflects the 'Afro-disiatic' symptoms which now perpetrates the Jheri Curis activation. Allow me to expose my colon once again. The ramification inflicted on the incision placed within the Fallopian cavities serves to be holistic taken from the Latin word 'jalapeno'."
I wonder. Most people know this guy doesn’t have a chance.
If you were a leftist in state Biden will win easily, you could vote for this ticket and have nothing to lose, to send a message.
Quite a genealogy...
“Melina Rachel Reimann was born on September 18, 1972, in East Oakland, Oakland, California, U.S.[5] Her father, John Reimann, was “a union organizer and self-proclaimed Trotskyist.”[5] Her mother is Linda Fowler Blackston; she was raised by Oji “Baba” Blackston. Her paternal grandfather was Günter Reimann (born Hans Steinicke), a German-Jewish Marxist economist and member of the Communist Party of Germany who opposed Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich.[6][7][8]”
“West has struggled to pick up steam as a third-party candidate and is averaging 1.7% support in matchups with Biden, former president Donald Trump, independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Green Party candidate Jill Stein, according to RealClearPolitics.”
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
If West can win 1.7% in swing states like AZ, NV, MI, PA, WI, GA, and the like, that would be an absolute Godsend.
really depends upon if they even manage to get on very many state ballots ...
First Muslim on a ticket since 2012. But Biden didn’t exactly pick his running mate.
“”slightly racist to be a Taylor Swift fan” as the music star appeared at Super Bowl Sunday to support boyfriend Travis Kelce.””
SLIGHTLY???? I don’t get the connection..
“”At least I don’t have to worry about being a racist””
NOR me.....
I’m in! Go Cornel!!!
Give me a break. Obama was an atheist.
Still is.
