*Paul Le Blanc, not Paul Buhle. This really is a bizarre exchange. The people encouraging a vote for Biden are using their "cred" as members of loose coalition of activist groups that failed miserably in accomplishing any of the things they set out to accomplish. I'm not sure what expertise people who thought thousands of others would join them in setting off bombs in army compounds think they have that it somehow lends credibility to their point of view. I disagree with both the original statement and Le Blanc's comments. I don't think it is an "all hands on deck moment," if for no reason other than the fact that everything is pointing to a re-election for Trump even if people did heed the advice given in this letter. Like in 2016, the election will come down to a handful of communities in a handful of states, and the DNC has selected a person with obvious signs of mental health decline to challenge the incumbent. As far as I am concerned, the election is already lost. If I lived in a swing state, I'd probably suck it up and vote for Biden because I feel like it is the equivalent of having a gun to my head. But I don't, so I won't, and I doubt that it will matter. In about 7 months we will watch as Donald Trump proves to the world that "American democracy" and all of the institutions that the signatories say they want to defend are already lost. We should be focusing on how to reclaim our local communities through the use of strikes and other tools, especially now with the likely onset of a depression. Amith R.
