This defeat was not simply a matter of the DNC deciding who it wanted. The fact is that there is a conservative consciousness within a huge sector of the US population, including among most Democrats. Sure, that consciousness exists because of the propaganda (and the threats) of big business. But it exists. To simply see Biden's victory as a matter of manipulation by "the Democrats" (meaning the Democratic Party powers-that-be) is somewhat akin to conspiracy theory in that it is overly simplistic. I am also not so sure that a Biden candidacy means the future of the Democratic Party is dead. In fact, I'm not so sure that he won't beat Trump. He might not, but it's far from guaranteed.

True, it prevents mass mobilization which are crucial for the police of affect. We should not here that the Tories chose a winter election so Corbyn could not rally thousands in the summer sun. They did not forget the impact of the mass rallies in the GE of 2017 and vowed never again. So social distancing disarms but does not pacify. What we are seeing gathering is the forces of the storm to come. I have now idea when or where it will happen but the intellectual and moral bankruptcy of the capitalist elite and their political running dogs will end one day. That is for certain. comradely Gary On Thu, Apr 9, 2020 at 8:49 AM Louis Proyect via Marxism < marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu> wrote: > POSTING RULES & NOTES > #1 YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. > #2 This mail-list, like most, is publicly & permanently archived. > #3 Subscribe and post under an alias if #2 is a concern. > * > > > https://www.thedailybeast.com/by-picking-joe-biden-over-bernie-sanders-democrats-are-kissing-their-future-goodbye > > _ > Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm > Set your options at: > https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/gary.maclennan1%40gmail.com > _ Full posting guidelines at: http://www.marxmail.org/sub.htm Set your options at: https://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
