How can you have these two ideas in your head at the same time, 1) there is no democratic process in the United States, it is a series of rigged shows as the ruling class utilizes both parties to ensure capital remains firmly at the wheel at all times and 2) lol gently caress those old people for voting for Nixon/Carter/Reagan etc.

By that line of thought zoomers are responsible for trump and Biden, which sure, gently caress it why not

They're so good and there's a lot of chilling things in them. The part I'm always gonna remember is how when the Kent State Massacre happened, some insanely low amount of people (like 10%?) blamed the national guard for the killings. More people wanted the national guard to straight up open fire and mow down every student on campus than there were people who felt the national guard were to blame.

The Goldwater campaign being so Trumpy was pretty remarkable to me too, all the conservative kitsch branding coupled with Barry just saying absolutely insane things whenever national media gave him a mic, like we should nuke Vietnam so all the trees die and the Vietcong cant hide anymore. Some things never change

yeah these particular 1500 pages get you an understanding of America similar to how reading Capital gets you an understanding of economics, they’re fundamental

couples nicely with Prisoners of the American Dream I think. Very foundational overview of recent history that will correct basically every misconception enforced through the schooling system

Sure but any route to real power won't go through those political pathways anyway. It has always been a fantasy that a Socialist President will get elected and then the revolution will begin, the political fights are going to happen from Dems+repubs working together w/police to crush mass, organized labor as it develops a independent political program in different pockets around the country.

Domestic EV production is also being used by auto manufacturers to chip away at union membership, most electric lines and electric component lines are non-union. Any federal subsidies to expand production capacity or improve production efficiency doubles as a erosion of labor power. Thank you Joe!

I'm not convinced they would achieve much more for the conservative project w/ a convention. It seems to loud and destabilizing, the current strategy has yielded them decades of legislative protection (unless an oppositional party effectively abolishes the judiciary, which, lol. Not happening) which they can go wild with whenever they hold a political majority. Even if they lose 2 years of upper chamber control here or there it doesn't matter in the long run. Corporations already aren't taxed, real estate speculators write every law in the country and they're guaranteed to overturn civil liberties victories of the last couple of decades though the courts. What more would a reactionary party need to accomplish

Wasn't the NY governor behind that absurdly corrupt bills stadium scandal? Lol if she manages to lose

The right wing guy is closing the gap and she has no base whatsoever, she's never won a state level election before, just a Cuomo appointee and prior to that, a right wing dem who managed one congressional term in 2011. She might lose lol. Because she hasn't killed enough homeless people yet, is the usual argument. Crime is out of control!!!!
