It's a narrative pushed by liberals, mostly. It's to create the illusion that there is no alternative to capitalism. It's "end of history" propaganda that you're spewing and this is the kind of mentality fascists and liberals in league with them want for people like you to have.

TRUTH: donald trump inherited a strong, growing economy from Joe Biden. And he fucked it up all by himself.

Much like he did to the extraordinary economy he inherited from Obama, which he screwed up as well.

History is clear. Just one other reason why trump feeds us alternative fact

Democrats are the only hope of ensuring that queer people, immigrants, women & the disabled are NOT thrown under a bus.
It may not be your perfect “virtuous” choice, but the alternative is total surrender to fascism.
If you think that’s not a bad thing, you don’t know history. Study 1933 Germany.

You lost sight of my original comment here. When a 🔴 runs as a 🔵 - there is no 'lesser evil choices'. If the 🔵 candidate has a known history of voting w/🔴 or discovery of a 🔴 background (ie Platner in Maine), THEY ARE THE SAME! And in THESE instances, we must band together & support an alternative.

Astonished that Publishers Weekly has put out this great review of DISPATCHES FROM THE AVANT-GARAGE. (What is happening I never get mainstream attention, my world is the weird world (good)) But what I hope is that more people will find out about the Alternative Press, and you know?, now they might!
Screenshot of Publishers Weekly review of Dispatches from the Avant-Garage: The Alternative Press, showing book cover on the left and review text on the right. Review reads: — “University of Bristol comp lit lecturer Kosick (Material Poetics in Hemispheric America) delves in this comprehensive account into the history of the Alternative Press, a Detroit-based indie that from the 1960s to the 1990s published cutting-edge experimental art, poetry, and literature. Its contributors—including Amiri Baraka, Robert Bly, Robert Creeley, Diane di Prima, Allen Ginsberg, Bernadette Mayer, and Eileen Myles—are a veritable who’s who of the late-20th-century American avant-garde, but in Kosick’s telling the press’s founding and early years are a story of local pride and tight-knit community. “We always wanted to publish our friends. Why would you want to publish your enemies?” quips Ken Mikolowski, who cofounded the press with his wife, Ann. It was over time, Kosick writes, that the Alternative Press built up trust with authors farther afield, becoming a flagship of the national and even the global avant garde. Kosick dedicates part of her account to highlighting the difficulty she encountered in her study of the press’s history, as much of its output has not been properly archived (a fact she chalks up partly to the underground press’s limited and idiosyncratic print runs, which ranged from bumper stickers to bookmarks, and partly to mainstream academia’s overlooking of broadsides printed in a city better known for churning out automobiles). It adds up to an evocative overview of a legendary publisher. (Mar.)”

Looking at Beck's family history, and a lot of 90s alternative culture can be explained by the fact that we didn't have Wikipedia so the nepo babies could all successfully market themselves as slacker underdogs.

If Nicky had survived he'd have ended his life in Paris like most Russian Whites. If the alternative history is "what if Nicky stayed Tsar" then that's even easier. He would have augured the Russian state into the ground a few years later.
