Why This Election Season SUCKS HARD: a mega-compilation on the FAILURES OF US ELECTORALISM

from The Dugout | a Black anarchist podcast · host The Dugout

The 2024 election season has been a grim reminder of the failings of the U.S. political system. In this mega-compilation, we dive into the ways in which the election cycle exposed the deep-seated issues of American fascism, the limitations of the two-party system, and the ongoing crisis in Palestine. We unpack the hollow rhetoric, state violence, and corporate interests that dominate U.S. politics, revealing how they perpetuate injustice both at home and abroad. This video challenges the idea that voting alone can address these systemic problems and makes the case for radical alternatives to break free from the cycles of oppression. - CHAPTERS 00:00 Intro 01:54 On WEB DuBois and Black Capitalism 13:53 Why you can't vote away FASCISM 53:40 Why Abolitionists don't trust Kamala Harris 01:19:11 How MEMES ARE PACIFYING US to fascism 01:49:20 Why The US Is Fascist 02:55:54 Why Fascism Needs A Hero Like Donald Trump 03:11:18 On The Dangers of Project 2025 and Complacency
