The Language of Compromise feat. AOC
from The Worst Wing Hosted by Stu & Dave
An interstitial episode this week, as Stu suffered a few Brain Genious moments while in full revolutionary embrace of Alexandria OC Thought. We're watching a media narrative break down in real time as the freshman congresswoman from the Bronx confuses and flusters the communal oligarchic machine with her fresh ideas like "actually give people money" and "my voters enjoy such things as eating, being not-dead, etc." This bears directly on the subject of our routine podcasting, in that The West Wing was an integral part of the construction of the prevailing collectively-understood Democratic political canon. Time to wrest that narrative back into service of the real victims of American society! Alex's name is everywhere on the Net, me boys, so accuse us of bandwagoning if you like, but just like a Marxist analysis starts to feel like a conspiracy theory after a while, damn near everything about political economy is tied up in how you communicate with and represent your constituency! Largely depending on who those constituents really are! https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/annehelenpetersen/millennials-burnout-generation-debt-work https://twitter.com/PrettyBadLefty/status/1082119046198366208
