There’s fresh internecine ‘leftist’ drama building up, probably the biggest storm since Force The Vote a couple years ago.
Essentially the argument is between people who want to try the Bernie thing all over again–running another presidential campaign from within the Dem party–versus people who have had enough of that shit and want to abandon BlueAnon altogether. Go third party, or just put energy into anything but electoralism. Preferably Revolution.
What’s interesting about this one is that there’s a significant racial component, and maybe a gender one too, to this debate. The antagonists are primarily black guys. The putative protag is a rich white Jewish woman who ‘spiritually advises’ Oprah Winfrey and others, for a living.
I won’t bloviate on too much. You either care or you don’t.
I’ll start the link farm with Due Dissidence again because the way they analyzed it drags in a lot of voices.
Second link: The smoking gun where the protag and the antags go head to head.
Marianne Williamson Joins RBN (Revolutionary BlackOut Network)
MW allowed her accusers twenty minutes to question her, and she dragged out her rather evasive answers so that fewer hard questions could get asked. Finally she bailed mad, right after using the unfortunate term ‘man-splaining’, and hosts starting bickering among themselves. The end-game interlopers weren’t even all sober. Bring your popcorn. Be prepared to tut. It was a debate with no winners.
Marianne Williamson Is DEEPLY UNSERIOUS
This is RBN all sobered up but no less pissed off.
“The State of The Progressive Left”
Very long RBN livestream in which the primary antag and a henchman widen the scope of the battle to include more rich white women lacking in class consciousness.
Overall the black guys are more or less in the right, but they don’t have an ounce of polite tactical skill to share between them. Probably they smoked it.
Overall I’d still vote for Marianne, if she were to lose her primary challenge (she will) and decided that she could stand up and fight enough to run third party anyway. (Highly doubtful.)

Maybe the Greens will cough up somebody who doesn’t suck. Maybe the People’s Party will get their shit together somehow. Maybe Kshama Sawant will back somebody credible.
November 2024 is a long way off. Maybe the nukes will be falling by then anyway and you’ll be reading this back by the greenish glow of a livid Golden Gate Bridge, Empire State Building, or grain elevator.

If you still crave more, the link with the killer lions from yesterday is to a DD livestream where they discuss, and tomorrow I’ll post one more of them, courtesy of the Jaybefaunt show, in partial fulfillment of the criteria, etc. etc. … After that you’ll be on your own and damn glad of it.
