As you know, I have been writing about and drawing about the division between progressives and corporate centrists within the Democratic Party for quite some time.
On June 23, my book comes out from Seven Stories Press. Obviously the COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted book sales and the publishing industry due to the closure of brick and mortar bookstores. So more than ever, I’m asking you to support my work by buying this book. I’m also asking you to consider pre-ordering because pre-orders help book reviewers and bookstore buyers decide how many copies they want to buy – and I hope and pray that book stores are going to be opening in the real world soon.
The book is in the same format as my graphic novel biographies but rather than focus on one personality, it’s about the historical split in the party and how it impacts electoral politics and non-electoral politics going forward. I’m proud of it and I think you’ll like it.

Although I have a visceral reaction to the term “pre-order” (you either order something or you do not), I am going to order this book.
There. I’ve “pre-ordered” it. I didn’t just “consider pre-ordering” as you requested. Anyone can “consider” something. Joe Biden would, I’m sure, consider MedicareForAll (for about half a femtosecond) before vetoing it if it got to his desk.
Of course, Biden won’t win. I’d say his campaign died right about the time George Floyd did because there is no way on White God’s Earth that “the” black vote is going to show up for Biden now. Trump’s the darling of the racist world, but Biden’s got plenty of racist crap in his closet, and his basement broadcasts simply aren’t cutting it. I have a lot of trouble believing everyone’s just gonna “calm down” again. Let’s see what happens on the June 2 primaries.
There’s a bookstore here that had two of your books, but the government banned older persons like myself from all retail stores. I’ll have to see if I can get it delivered (one is more likely to get CoViD-19 from a delivery person than from going into a retail store, but the law’s the law).
