West said he would prioritize fighting to end poverty by providing a “living wage” for all, healthcare for all and guaranteed housing.

He also mentioned fighting mass incarceration and climate change as part of his platform.

Included in his announcement video was a clip from a 2022 interview with comedian Bill Maher, during which he bemoaned the fact Americans had to choose between “neofascists” like former President Donald Trump and “milquetoast neoliberals” like President Joe Biden.

He also accused Republicans and Democrats of not wanting to tell what he called the “truth” about the Ukraine war and the Pentagon, as well as Wall Street and Big Tech.

Looking forward to voting for him, as of right now. I’m not voting for Biden.

I will never again vote for a neoliberal for president. Nor will I ever vote for anyone right of center (such as Biden).
