Chance the rapper logged into Twitter on Monday to share some thoughts on the 2020 presidential election. The rapper doesn’t seem to care about Joe Biden as the democratic candidate and asked his 8 million followers why they would choose the former vice president over Kanye West. or even Donald Trump.
The Chicago native’s first tweet on the matter seemed to endorse his friend and aide West. “And everyone out here trying to convince me to vote for Biden. Smfh, ”Chance wrote in a retweet of West’s new tribute song to his mother Donda. From there, he criticized the bipartisan system and called those who interacted with his previous racist tweets.
Are you more pro biden or anti ye and why? I understand that you will want to answer that you are just trying to “emerge triumphant” but in this hypothetical scenario where you are replacing Trump, can anyone explain why Joe Biden would be better?

Are you more pro biden or anti ye and why? I understand that you will want to answer that you are just trying to ‘come out triumphant’ but in this hypothetical scenario where you are replacing Trump, can anyone explain why Joe Biden would be better? he Coloring book the rapper continued. “I finally got the answer now. I get it. Everyone trusts Biden more than everyone trusts Ye. I think I understand why, I just don’t feel the same way. “
Although West has threatened to run for president in 2020, he has yet to make any legitimate move to do so beyond interviews and tweets. Nor has he personally outlined his own platform outside of stating that it is pro-life and anti-vaccine in a recent interview with Forbes. In the same interview, she rejected Trump. Chance, as West’s ally, seems to have a real idea of West’s goals.
Compensation. Abolition of the prison. Universal basic housing. Education reform. Universal Basic Income. There is much more than work for people who will not let you do your job. I’m just saying that we’ve been doing this the same way for a long time. Can a black man have a chance?

“Compensation. Abolition of prison. Universal basic housing. Educational reform. Universal Basic Income. There is much more than an ion job for people who will let you do your job,” replied someone asking what West’s platform is. I’m just saying we’ve been doing this the same way for a long time. Can a blck [sic] man has a chance. “
The 27-year-old tweeted more in support of prison abolition and an end to homelessness, believing that neither Trump nor Biden can offer a solution. He ended his line of thought on a neutral note: “I understand the improbability of Ye winning the 46th presidential position and I understand that everyone who votes for Biden does not necessarily do so with enthusiasm. I am in favor of black liberation and do not accept my recent endorsement of Terry Crews. “
Ok, running downhill now:

While it’s unclear whether or not West will make it to the November ballot, it’s clearer that he has an album to promote. God’s country it will likely hit its preferred streaming service later this year.
