Blog Credo

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.

They're Doing It Again

 Donald Trump will be the GOP nominee. There are only two possible ways that he is not. The first and most likely is that he dies or suffers a debilitating health event. The second is that the entire institutional GOP rallies around a "Not Trump." In 2016, Bernie was the Not Hillary, but the GOP field was so fractured that Trump could march to the nomination without actually winning a majority of primary votes.

Naturally, the GOP has decided to repeat their 2016 strategy of fracturing the Not Trump vote, because they are political geniuses.

Also, too, Fuck Cornell West. He supported Ralph Nader in 2000 and Jill Stein in 2016. This guy is a narcissistic menace to American democracy.
