Chris Hedges Post-Election Livestream Q&A, Nov. 6 @ 6pm ET
Join me on Nov. 6 on my YouTube channel for a live Q&A at 3pm PT / 6pm ET. I will pull questions from the comments of this post, my X, and live on YouTube. We will discuss the results of the election, and what’s to come. To post your questions here, you must be a paid subscriber to my Substack. Please attempt to keep your questions direct and relatively brief, as I cannot read entire paragraphs during the show.
See you all soon, and thank you for your support.
Chris, does it strike you, as it does me, that Democrats claim a Trump victory will lead to dictatorial powers, but that a Harris victory will lead to an often feckless presidency where the Dems will claim they're constrained by Congress, or a new Manchin, the Senate Parliamentarian, and so on?
In short, why can Trump allegedly lead like Hitler but Kamala can't? Why can't Democrats dictate higher minimum wages, single-payer health care, etc. when Trump allegedly can and will do whatever he wants? Do the Democrats not realize they are revealing their own dishonesty and/or lack of ability to rule effectively and produce the results they claim they want?
How do you keep the dread & political hopelessness manageable? I voted dem for 45 years thinking I was supporting workers & middle class issues. After seeing the corruption 1st hand years ago & watching the haha leaders give everything away to war, to genocidal maniacs & to corps that are destroying so much, just so they can make personal wealth, I'm very depressed & feel hopeless. Elections only remind me how totally sold out the decision makers are. Your writing & videos keep what little sanity I have left intact. How do you do it? It seems overwhelmingly dark but you keep the lights on. Thanks, Chris.
