If a summary of your talk is useful, you can simply and truthfully say, in terms of genuine democratic creativity, among current centrists Dems, the number of politically talented individuals can be counted on one hand with fingers left over.
It's possible to further say, among current centrists Dems, there is almost no humble, honest self-examination at all. The ossified, rigid Soviet-style gerontocracy remains in place.
Many of us hopeful Mamdani's win creates an IRREFUTABLE CRITIQUE of bullsh** like Deciding to Win.
I think i missed this but so glad I rediscovered it. an applicable story, indulge me please. I regularly get donation pleas from AOC and Jon Osoff. I also regularly respond to these without receiving a response (surprise). today I got another text from Jon and this one was a little different in that "jon" made fun of his own donation plea but still of course plead for my donation citing his apparently terrifying FEC deadline. I responded, again, alerting "jon" that he just doesn't get it. that clever methods of catching my attention is irrelevant, the message is broken regardless of how it is wrapped. I told "jon" that he could have my advise for free and if he wants he can donate to my "FEC" deadline (rent, food, student loans, etc.). I wont hear anything which of course exemplifies the problem that they never get or hear let alone respond to.
A go-to article for me on what it's like on the receiving end of the big screwing and how the big screwers continue to exploit the misery they created ...

I mean, not watching it live, but …
These live things are great. Thanks, CT.
