“Two Faces of American Capitalism”: Juan González on What the RNC & DNC Reveal About U.S. Politics
The Democratic National Convention wrapped up in Chicago on Thursday with Vice President Kamala Harris formally accepting the presidential nomination, capping a week of political showmanship and celebration for many party members. “One of the things that struck me most was the level of choreographed...

This guy is spouting more doom and gloom and trying to equate the two parties as "the same".
As a former expat, every single person I know that isn't an American native is very excited for the Democratic party.
That’s not at all what he said. He literally ended his comment with this:
I think that the choices have never been clearer between the two forms of capitalism.
If you know Juan Gonzalez and his long and storied journalism career, he is very clear about the dangers of right-wing extremism.
There’s a difference between being excited about Democrats’ newfound energy (I am super excited), and being realistic about what they can accomplish as one of two parties in a hyper-capitalist system.
I agree with you, mostly.
My problem is that a lot of people want us to be so much more progressive and socialist that anything less than a full running leap to the left is being equated to disaster. And here's the thing, I used to be that way. I wanted Sanders so bad that I didn't vote for Hillary.
I'll regret that decision for the rest of my life. Friends of mine died during the pandemic because of that decision. So now, no matter how bleak, I will always vote for even the smallest step towards the side of decency.
I am realistic about it and i agree with Juan Gonzalez on the whole. I don't agree with his focus and his tone. His focus is on how it's not enough and his tone is doom and gloom. That's just exhausting.

More bOtH SiDeS bullshit.
Maybe you’re just being salty, but Democracy Now is one of the most consistently factual and reliable left wing journalism outlets. They like, never do the both sides bullshit, and they regularly tear down the outlets that do.
They are, however, unabashedly pro Democracy. So they will totally call out the bullshit wherever it originates, and unfortunately Dems sometimes do sling the bullshit. But you’ll never hear NYTimes levels of bothsidesism from Democracy Now for the sake of fake objectivity.
A kinder, gentler mass deportation and border militarization is pretty on point with the bipartisan border plan being touted.
