Hey Friend,
I’m gonna get the video version up soon, but enjoy the November 11th censored version that broadcast on WMTS for now!
(Hopefully the copyright sharks don’t catch it before I have to show it for class!!!!)
As one would expect, given Trump’s victory a couple weeks ago, and given my incorrect prediction in the last episode, I got some wounds—more like scratches—to lick, given the uncertainty around the accuracy of the polls.
If you’ve been watching this for awhile now, you’ll also understand I’ve got some “I-Told-Ya-So’s” to dish out.
Truly, Harris’ loss represents a feat of stupidity committed by the DNC, which actively tried to suppress a robust Democratic Presidential Primary and didn’t even take the semi-democratic route when Biden dropped out, rallying all the DNC delegates to cast their votes for Kamala Harris.
For anyone still convinced that the Democratic Party is gonna save us from the fascist threat posed by the incoming Trump administration, I’ve got a bridge to sell ya.
Us further left folks have a saying: “Scratch a liberal, and a fascist bleeds.” The refusal by the DNC to take any other presidential candidates seriously, and the resulting loss after a relatively uninspiring campaign from Biden’s replacement, should validate that proverb.
Sure, they’re promising that they’re “looking in the mirror” or whatever the fuck, but I’ve little doubt that many are taking an adequately long look—we’ve already seen some “centrist” democrats shift to the right, falsely claiming that the Harris campaign was too “woke” WHEN SHE LITERALLY TRIED TO KEEP IT FOCUSED ON (albeit, vague) ECONOMIC POLICY.
Truth is, she leaned too right, refusing to promise placing an arms embargo on an apartheid state’s that’s plausibly committing genocide, CAMPAIGNING with LIZ CHENEY, and EVEN BRAGGING ABOUT AN ENDORSEMENT FROM DICK FUCKING CHENEY.
Turns out, failing to reach out to the left faction of the Democratic Party is a losing strategy! Who woulda thought!?
But…what now?
I don’t have much advice to give other than these:
Talk to your co-workers. UNIONIZE.
Get in touch with mutual aid groups. Start forming them in your own community.
The Unnatural State of Affairs broadcasts on WMTS 88.3 FM, Mondays at 5-7 P.M. Tune in to hear the censored talk show segments and DJ session!
Some better news…
