To be pragmatic in today’s electoral landscape means choosing a radically different path from the one we have been on – the path that gave us Donald Trump.
The idealists will seek to convince us their fantastical imaginary world that Biden and Clinton represent is our best hope of survival.
They are wrong.
Our survival depends on our pragmatism and our courage to demand better than Biden.
The centrists are bought and paid for by the very people we need to take out of the equation.
There is, of course, a lot of campaign money in making sure there is no Bad Guy, and if there is, it is identifiable as ‘the Russians’ or ‘Islamic terror.’
It’s not a coincidence the campaigns drawing the biggest donors – those of Pete Buttigieg, Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Beto O’Rourke, Joe Biden – speak in the empty language of neoliberalism, a worldview without a Victimizer, without The Bad Guy.
They produce only fatuous calls for ‘unity,’ ‘ingenuity and creativity’ and ‘hope.’
After all, why would one name The Bad Guy when The Bad Guy is funding your campaign?
