I'm going to stick my neck way way out. Many of my posts have argued (or
assumed) that there is no coherent left in the U.S. at the present time
and for that reason either blame or praise of "the left" was mostly empty.
But I will suggest that the left now exists (tenuously: I have not seen
any news yet of how it plans to establish itself on a permanent basis, but
I'll assume/hope it does. From now on (or, being pessimistic, until this
"left" once again dissolves itself) I will assume that the task of
would-be leftists is to explore how they will relate to this newly
established left.

It is called the Black Radical Congress.

I wonder if Wendy would try to impose her questions (or if most would try
to impose their answers or non-answers) on ths Congress.
