This is a long-term effort . . . . *** [A]dmitting our absolute impotence can be politically liberating; acknowledging that as a left we have no influence on who gets nominated or elected, or what they do in office, should reduce the frenzied self-delusion that rivets attention to the quadrennial, biennial, and now seemingly permanent horse races. It is long past time for us to begin again to approach leftist critique and strategy by determining what our social and governmental priorities should be and focusing our attention on building the kind of popular movement capable of realizing that vision.”) and “Exit Right” and “Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens” and “Abortion Rights Landslide at the Polls”
