Maybe this format isn't for everybody, but, for me at least, Christman's Twitch streams have been helpful in keeping things in perspective throughout the pandemic. And this one where he grapples with the implications of this election result covers a lot of ground that deserves attention.
The 2020 Democratic primary was a last gasp attempt at making class-based mass politics work again. But what we found out in the process was that class-based mass politics hasn't been a meaningful thing in the US since the 1970s at the very latest. Instead everything is broken. And it is likely way more broken than many of us previously imagined. So what do we do now? Unclear. But Matt has a lot of insightful things to say about where we are that might somehow prove useful.. if anything can.
