The Democratic party chair is a handy scapegoat. But the party’s problems are much bigger | Norman Solomon
By Norman Solomon
Much of the criticism of Ken Martin is deserved. But his actions are symptomatic of a party that fails to listen to the grassroots

House Democrats are finally shifting on Israel. Party leaders must listen | Norman Solomon
By Norman Solomon
More than 100 Democratic lawmakers voted against arms for Israel. They’re listening to the people – their bosses are behind

While I feel I shouldn't alter any of the content of this #NormanSolomon book, I'm just stripping bad code from the #EPUB and reformatting it to be a better #eBook... I really can't overlook this word "strodemocraticnger" that's in the PDF, and presumably the print version as well.
It's like "stronger" and "democratic" climbed into one of the teleporters from The Fly.
As I continue to read through #NormanSolomon's book "The Blue Road to Trump Hell" while stripping the terrible code #Adobe #InDesign output in the #EPUB version, the thing that stands out is how the #DNC simply haven't understood; the #USPol electorate post-Obama isn't the same as pre.
No #Centrist can build the necessary coalition on the left, because the fundamental hypocrisy of the Centrist position, that corporate agendas are compatible with the #Democrat voter base, is electorally toxic.
So because I taught myself a few decades ago to code #HTML, and because I moved that to learning how to code #EPUB #eBooks, I'm now re-authoring #NormanSolomon's book "The Blue Road to Trump Hell" into an ePub that isn't the terrible BrundleFly that InDesign produced which the publisher is currently offering free.
I'll send it to the publisher as a gift.
In this week’s episode of RevolutionZ #podcast, Michael Albert has #NormanSolomon as his guest to talk about #election 2024.
Does it matter who is in the White House in general, and in this election? Contradiction or synergy between conscience and the ethical responsibilities in the elections? Is voting in swing states a good way to advance progressive prospects in coming months and years? How might we relate with Trump's supporters, and for that matter, with Harris's?

An OBVIOUS recent example is the media's ignoring eyewitnesses to the #IDF #ASSASSINATION of #AysenurEzgiEygi
"As the #Gaza war enters its 12th month with no end in sight, the ongoing horrors continue to be normalized in U.S. media and politics. The process has become so routine that we might not recognize how omission and distortion have constantly shaped views of events since the war began..." -#NormanSolomon

#Harris Refuses to Change Course on #US Complicity With #Israel's #Genocide in #Gaza

In #CNN interview, the #Democratic nominee stuck to echoing #Biden’s rhetoric—calling for a ceasefire while dodging the reality that the U.S. government could force one by implementing an arms embargo on Israel.

A new #book from #NormanSolomon "War Made Invisible," discusses the media's role in constructing a mental wall between the American people and the victims of U.S. #ForeignPolicy.
Read an #interview which delves into the erosion of #democracy and the fog of #militarism. Violence is kept hidden and #whistleblowers are punished. Solomon raises questions about double standards, lack of #accountability and sheds light on the urgent need for a more informed public.
