Re: <nettime> A question in earnest

The election is a sorry excuse for politics, let alone democracy.

There is no Left candidate. Biden is a human placeholder for the washed up hollow promises of neoliberal “normalcy”, and Trump is the cartoon version of a rich person with equally cartoonish ideas around governance (which isn’t to belittle the vast and very concrete destructiveness he has/is enacting).

There is very little room in “the election” and mainstream discourse to attend to the pressing issues bearing down on everyday life.

Why is there nothing appearing here about the US election?

I sound like a jerk to myself typing this but the silence is unexpected.

Are we all too afraid to say anything, or all just busy with other platforms?
