Part 11 - Last Dance with Electoral Jane
“If voting changed anything,” Emma Goldman once said, “they would make it illegal.”
Caucusing for Sanders was my last half-hearted dance around that coffin of class consciousness known as the American ballot box.
Voting might change things in a decent way, one day, but not under the existing and overlapping U.S. party, elections, and media systems.
“Last dance with Mary Jane, one more time to kill the pain. I feel summer creeping in and I’m tired of this town again.”
