Did you get anything out of it? How much of Bob Avakian's thing is just celebrating Bob and how much of it is thoughtful critique.

FWIW your typical International Socialist Organization meeting tends to have a good selection of Haymarket Press books, and I know they got a strong showing in Chicago. That's their headquarters I think.

The weird thing was my dad is a dyed in the wool libertarian. I saw lots of commonalities in the true believers on both sides of that particular divide. I knew who Huey Newton and what COINTELPRO was before I was ten.

Best thing I got out of it was that it was a very self-paced, experiential touchy feely kind of place. Got to learn at my own pace. Never took a standardized test until I had to take one to get into a private secondary school. We spent a lot of time outside. As much as I don't dig on the RCP, I really like those ladies. Practically like my other moms.

I think Dan O'Sullivan said he was going to vote for her on their post-RNC episode, but then he tweeted he wouldn't after discovering her VP pick is a Holocaust denier. The dryboys always mocked Stein and never supported her.

I think the Chapo gang are in the "we're not going to vote" camp because voting is overrated. I either won't vote because I did the heavy lifting during the primaries (federal and state primaries are two separate days in NY because ??????) and everyone on the ballot now is a foregone conclusion, or I'll vote and write in Ken Bone.

Is he a Holocaust denier, or did he just go on a radio show hosted by one? Regardless, I'm not voting for the Green Party ticket. Michael Savage is a piece of poo poo, but he was right when he said that they only come out every four years and do nothing else politically.

no he was published multiple times by a holocaust denier, you're thinking of when he went on a radio show where the host kept talking about how the jews did 9/11 and are totally gonna nuke america to start another war and his response was just 'well propaganda is a powerful tool yes' instead of 'are you retarded or something, bye' like a normal person.

He just weirdly keeps happening to surround himself by people who have some opinions to share about Jews, like anyone does really!

Also vote, it's probably a good thing to do.

Not voting is dumb but that's just my dumb opinion. Vote Ed Balls if you are honestly disgusted by real choices.

I wish the American Sniper ep was a bit longer and went more into Chris Kyle. Also if it had Jesse Ventura impressions.

you can do an entire podcast series on what a crazy shitbag Kyle was. It's so bonkers that he got the right wing hero treatment when he was such an open and prod bigo-ooooooh right.

I think generally the Chapo boys have said Clinton is a horrible person with bad poltics but there's way more chance to mobilize leftists against neoliberals when there's not a Republican president in power.

I also recall listening recently (the ep may not have been recent) to them talking fairly earnestly about state and local votes which affect people and criticising the Green Party for not being active in those despite having a better chance to win. They also at some point criticised the Dems to an extent for focusing so much on the presidency but not on down-ballot races which are also important.

I interpreted this as even if they don't vote personally for Hillary, they're still going to vote in other contests.
