Summary

Kanye has exited the presidential race as quickly as he entered it. As if 2020 could get any crazier. Is Kanye the first or last in a string of would-be third party candidates? Will America still be entangled with this type of foolishness in... August? Is voting a third party candidate even acceptable in a world where one of the candidates is an existential threat to Black, brown and queer lives? Danielle and Touré discuss on democracyish.

1:02.4	menace is making people rightly freak out.
1:05.4	Are you freaking out about the Kanye candidacy?
1:10.4	I fucking hate Kanye.
1:12.4	Okay.
1:13.1	And so, like, I'm just going to, I'm going to be very...
1:16.5	Do you listen to the music or no?

1:23.4	to Chris Brown, the same way, like, I can't stand any of these narcissistic, self-serving
1:28.6	motherfuckers. And so let's be very clear about what Kanye is doing. He hasn't filed any paperwork.
1:34.1	He hasn't done a goddamn thing except make an announcement on Twitter. Okay. So basically,
1:38.8	he's already president if that's what we're going by. You could just make announcements and
