The Long View - Week 09 (Election 2020)

Featuring my first guest interview: Steve, an organizer of phonebank calls into Wisconsin. It's Tue, Sept 1, and exactly 9 weeks to go till the election of our lifetimes. This week we get into the world of phonebanking, and we get to see a bit of the behind-the-scenes life of an everyday volunteer and organizer, Steve. And we get into the events of Kenosha, Wisconsin, and how the emotions of this week weigh on our minds as we think about Gramsci's maxim of "optimism of the will, pessimism of the intellect." Steve gives us an inspiring view of the arc of history, and how he sees his role as simply helping to move it along a little. And that's the "Long View" that keeps me going this week. On y va, stay human, stay tuned, stay dangerous. [Music credit: "The Long View" by Purple Planet Music, provided royalty-free.]
