Vox: Is American Democracy Really In Peril?
Occidental Dissent - Feb 3rd 2022 1:46pm ESTNo, American democracy isn’t in peril. No one is proposing to do away entirely with electoral democracy. Even when the Southern states seceded from the Union and formed the Confederacy, electoral democracy continued unabated. The same is true of liberalism. Even the Confederates basically copied the U.S. Constitution. It is the parameters of liberalism and […]

Lady G Takes Knee On SCOTUS Pick

Poll Watch: Joe Biden’s Vow To Nominate a Black Woman To Supreme Court Is Deeply Unpopular
Occidental Dissent - Jan 30th 2022 2:13pm ESTThe public strongly disagrees with Elie Mystal on this. No one should be disqualified from consideration on the basis of Wokeism.

Tim Pool: The GOP Fears Being Called Racist
Occidental Dissent - Jan 29th 2022 11:35am ESTTim Pool, the Boomer Whisperer, is correct about this. The GOP acts like the “mainstream media” still exists. They act like their voters care about the norms. They act like “journalists” are still taken seriously by their base. It is a reflexive reaction to punches that may have landed thirty years ago.
