This is a comment on a comment, so I don't expect a lot to come out of it. Previously (I won't call it dialogue) I suggested that "today many Americans confront newly crappy conditions with too much of a dawning recognition." I said this because I thought it indicated something important about the present-day political imaginary, the one debunked in today's Weekly Watch. So here it is.
I’ve said many times that I’m writing my last essay about elections. It’s become almost a joke, since every week’s essay is “the last,” and there’s always one more essay I need to write. Well, this is (finally!) the last electoral essay.
What set me off was this headline that I saw on a Facebook profile, "Bernie Sanders Asks Supporters to Donate to Democratic Party, 'Show Commitment to Party Unity.'" I'm against Democratic Party unity, because the Democrats at the top of the party hierarchy are a bunch of corporate commodities masquerading as politicians.

Tulsi Gabbard had always seemed to me like the rare exception to the rule.
Sanders won 58 percent of the vote, which included just under 40,000 Americans living abroad, and Sanders will be awarded nine delegates to the national convention over the summer, according to the release from Democrats Abroad. Biden won 23 percent of the vote and will take home four delegates.
Today I’d like to talk, perhaps for the last time, about election fraud.
[EDIT: It won't be the last time, because, try as I might, I couldn't get everything into this essay. Even though it's as long as Moby Dick.]
We're all dealing with coronavirus, and so this piece is important:
