AMERICAN PARTY DUOPOLY

iorella Isabel is eloquent and as usual passionate and super lucid in her dissection of the fraud represented by the duopoly and the choice of neoliberal imperialist Kamala Harris for Biden’s VP, her enthronement a heartbeat from the presidency proof of the appalling corruption and hypocrisy permeating the Democratic party and their hanger-ons across the media and other key institutions. 

P. GREANVILLE—The system’s unrelenting tidal wave of shit—from the economic meltdown to the pandemic, to the incomprehensible PC cultural wars, and the endless warmongering and media lies seem to be taking a toll even on our re·doubt·a·ble Jimmy Dore! Just watch his body language: It says, what’s the use folks, I’ve seen this already a million times, and nothing changes. He looks tired, and isolated. Facial gestures of despair replace witticisms. For a comedian whose lifeblood is interactions with an audience, the lockdown has been a body blow. Of course, although amply anticipated, considering what the Democrats are made of—pure, 100%, Grade A Made in the USA Bullshit, as George Carlin would have put it—this is still disgusting.

YASHA LEVINE—It was clear back in March that Bernie didn’t have what it takes to lead a real political movement in a time of massive uncertainty and political upheaval. He wasn’t flexible enough — and in the end, he simply didn’t have the fight in him. After getting stomped by a juiced-up Joe Biden in the last Democratic debate, he sold out his supporters at the snap of the finger — even as the pandemic was starting to rage across America. It was depressing to watch then, and it gets more and more depressing every time he does it. 

CALEB MAUPIN—Caleb’s chats are the ideal tool for those who wish to acquire a solid understanding of contemporary history in an easy, accessible manner. In this episode Caleb talks about imperialism—global monopoly capitalism—and how it has destroyed and is now aggressively destroying even America’s infrastructure, not to mention the population’s economic security. We see that in a tidal wave of artificially produced problems, intractable problems that only arise when we live under capitalism, not due to lack of resources or human capabilities. In America today, the world’s citadel of imperialism, many citizens have no access to clean running water. Many are homeless. Many are unemployed and under employed, living in the “gig economy”, whose wages are pitiful and benefits non-existent. Almost 30% lack fast internet access. The healthcare system has long been a disgrace and a scandal—yet nothing is really done, except apply glorified bandaids, like Obamacare. 

CALEB MAUPIN—Caleb’s chats are the ideal tool for those who wish to acquire a solid understanding of contemporary history in an easy, accessible manner. An informal chat with Caleb Maupin and Brenton Lengel (anarchist playwright), as guide to the multitude of news, lies, distortions, rumors, idiocies (i.e., Purity spirals), hypocrisies, and ideologies that shape our world.
