      It’s still wild that my high school history teacher had us reading Shock Doctrine lol. I think it was sophomore year. I was a shithead conservative back then so I didn’t take it too seriously. He’s young enough that I’m 95% sure he listens to CTH or one of the other associated podcasts. He is probably reading this post right now.

      If you are, sorry about the things I wrote in class. I’ve changed quite a bit since then.

    It wouldn’t be enough for Joe to step down though.

    The Dems have strangled any opposition in their cribs, there isn’t enough time to fine “The Next Bernie Sanders” candidate and get them out on the national stage to matter.

    There have been multiple instances where liberals could’ve increased their chances of success had the current liberal politician step down. In pretty much all those cases, they refused out of ego despite no one liking them. Then they died, and their position was filled by reactionaries.
