E259: Lethal Strength Through Joy w/ Zhana Kurti

Bronx expat Zhana Kurti reports back from the Chicago DNC and the protests against it. We go through the context of the 1924 and 1968 DNCs, the issues of Palestine and race in the election, how the left should relate to the elections, and if we should even be talking about it all.

Check out last week's episode of Party Girls podcast for more in depth discussions of the protests in Chicago, and why some found them underwhelming.
