Problems with nesting if/else statements

So i'm nesting if/else statements as seen here (This is just a small section of my original code):

if user == 'parker' or 'Parker' or 'its parker' or 'Its parker' or 'Its Parker' or 'its Parker' or 'it\'s parker' or 'It\'s Parker':
    parkpass = input('Prove it')
    time.sleep(1)
    if parkpass == 'cheese is my spirit animal':
        print('Hey parker what\'s up!')
    else:
        user_fraud_parker = input('I know you\'re not parker, really, who are you?')
else:
    print('We\'ve never met before, its nice to meet you ') + user

Yet when I enter something that does not equal something on the original if statement, it still asks me to prove it rather that going to the original else statement "We've never met before, its nice to meet you!"

Your problem has nothing to do with nesting. Your first `if` statement is wrong. – Barmar Mar 24 '17 at 15:53
You'll also need to fix that `print` at the end... – Jon Clements Mar 24 '17 at 15:55
if user in ('parker', 'Parker', 'its parker', 'Its parker','Its Parker', 'its Parker', 'it\'s parker', 'It\'s Parker'): – Joost Mar 24 '17 at 15:58
Thank's, I know it's pretty wrong of me to be posting something this rudimentary in here, but I've been looking for a while and im just stumped. – Whitewolf Mar 24 '17 at 16:14
