Why Kanye is Running for President

------------------------------------------------

On July 4, 2020, Kanye West announced on Twitter that he would be running in the 2020 presidential election. On July 7, West was interviewed by Forbes about his presidential run, where he announced that his running mate will be Wyoming preacher Michelle Tidball, and that he would run as an independent under the "Birthday Party", "because when we win, it's everybody's birthday". West also said he no longer supported Trump because he "hid in [a] bunker" during the COVID-19 pandemic. Various political pundits have speculated that West's presidential run is a publicity stunt to promote his upcoming music.

On July 15, 2020, official paperwork was filed with the Federal Election Commission for West, under the "BDY" Party affiliation amid claims that he was preparing to drop out. West held his first rally that weekend, on July 19.

Extremely well made video. Considered making a video on the same subject but couldn’t find the right angle to approach this at

While I don’t agree with Kanye’s politics I recognize that the same people who call themselves mental health activists are the same ones that want to cancel Kanye

[adamquenano]

He’s not stupid he just can’t articulate himself in a way everyone wants.

[NahumTheLemon]

I loved that you didn't undermine or over-praise Kanye in any of his opinions but objectively explained why he believes what he believes. fantastic work.

[ZemanTheMighty]

So he's actually a classic Shakespearian character. God damn

[kristoamadeus]

Kanye didn’t say he wanted to make abortion illegal, he just is against it

Kanye is in opposition to the civil rights leaders of the past. “We’re going to fight racism not with racism, but we’re going to fight with solidarity. We say we’re not going to fight capitalism with black capitalism, but we’re going to fight it with socialism.” -Fred Hampton, Kanye’s politics are much in the same vein as how a white supremacist would view their own race. He still wants to maintain a system of power and oppression rather than change the system like actual civil rights leaders have pushed for for decades.
