Why is the pundit class so desperate to push Biden out of the race? US Guardian correspondent and activist Rebecca Solnit argues that the corporate media is hellbent on fashioning the Democratic Party and its candidate Joe Biden into a loser, with potentially disastrous consequences for the future of democracy in this country. Our Well Read Red Patricia Kullberg reads excerpts from Solnit’s opinion piece published July 6, 2024 in The Guardian.
Solnit is the author of many books including Orwell’s Roses and co-editor with Thelma Young Lutunatabua of the climate anthology Not Too Late: Changing the Climate Story from Despair to Possibility.
