It’s Time For Left-Wing Wrestlemania Politics:
The Democratic Party must purge itself of its technocratic tendencies and embrace a purely emotional approach to politics. The party has to stop pretending the voting public is something they aren’t. They are, to a person, Wrestlemania fans who want nothing more than a good fiction to overwhelm their senses.
Give Americans a proper spectacle and an epic storyline to latch onto and maybe you can create a little class consciousness and transform politics in the nightmare that is late capitalism. You can turn millions of normie voters into unwitting left-wing advocates, but only if you engage in the fiction they crave.
