Myth: "Easier to Organize Under Democrats"

Myth: "Easier to Organize Under Democrats" | Black Myths Pod https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/b84bf434-e6bb-48ff-886b-6fd7fb0a0938 In this episode, we explore the faux phrase "It’s easier to organize under democrats" and all its complimenting lesser evil slogans. The phrase essentially argues that political organizing is better situated to take place under a democratic administration than a republican one. This is not a post-election episode but instead, a deep dive into the flaws of this framing, particularly how it relates to Black/Afrikan people. We discuss the proponents of the argument, radical community organizing, historical conditions for organizing in the US, and how better organizing conditions may be achieved. 00:00:00 - Beginning 00:10:48 - Where Does this Myth Come From? 00:27:01 - Monologue 00:34:14 - What is Organizing? 01:01:08 - What Does History Say? 01:18:02 - Repression 01:35:02 - What Are Easier Organizing Conditions?
