"The ongoing Democratic Party convention should be seen in two related contexts: One is the threat of a fascist-connected ethno-nationalist returning to power, this time far better prepared than he was in 2016. This context has been front and center in the convention. The other context is the ongoing genocidal war crimes being committed by Israel every day, with the support of the U.S. This context hovered in the background, at times whispered like a family’s dirty secret about the uncle who is a child abuser, while every effort is made to keep that secret exactly that – a secret.... "[Meanwhile, the left protesters denounce] Democrats [while] ignoring MAGA, which can only mean leaving the Republicans as the lesser evil. No wonder those who want to fight the bigoted, ethno-nationalist, violent MAGA movement turn to the Democrats as the only alternative. Most of the left, socialist and otherwise, is in practice boosting MAGA!
"Sooner or later, a movement in the streets will have to develop to throw back MAGA. It will develop at least in part outside and independent of and as an alternative to the Democratic Party. These same “lefts” who are “artfully” moving to throw the election to the MAGA cult, will then try to jump to the head of such a movement. When they do, they will have to answer for their effort to throw this election to the same forces against which the new movement will be protesting."
