6 days agoAh, good. I was wondering what had happened to Dan.
I think he’s on to something; D and R tickets have been poisoned; a new worker’s movement is needed that is proudly independent and runs at municipal, state and federal levels. No need to chase POTUS — if enough independents get seats in the senate, they’ll hold the balance of power. There’s only 100 seats, and all they need to have an initial powerful voice is for both D and R to have fewer than 49 of those. At that point, the independents effectively decide what bills get passed and what bills get defeated.
Unconvincing to whom? That campaign did an amazing job of equating copyright to property ownership for an entire generation.
It’s not accurate, but I think we’ve seen that it can be very convincing for most people.
