A manifesto that outlines the progressive vision, recent history and worldview―by the founder of The Young Turks and co-founder of Justice Democrats.The media can't stop talking about the gridlock in Washington, as if a handful of stubborn Republicans are the only thing standing between us and a fully-functional democracy. The reality is that our government was taken over by big business and their allies in both political parties. The getaway driver in this heist was corporate media. The good news is that the American people are very progressive. And soon progressives will take over Washington as well! And when they do, the great majority of Americans will love it.In Justice Is Coming, The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur presents two ideas that counter everything we hear from pundits and politicians on a daily basis: one, progressives are correct on all issues, and two, America is actually a very progressive country. Millions of us know that we are a part of something larger, a movement that is already transforming Washington.This compulsively readable manifesto seeks to apply the momentum we have already built to a concrete progressive agenda that activists, voters, and citizens can all rally around. It looks beyond Trump to the larger historical forces that have given us this unique political moment, and explains why we should fight, how we should fight, and how we will win.Sharp-witted, persuasive, and inspiring, calling out toxic Republicans, politely-ineffectual Democrats, and mealy-mouthed media mavens in equal measure, Justice is Coming will give heart to Democrats and progressives who seek to change our politics and society for the better.
Cenk is one of the great political voices of our time - He is unapologetic, unwavering, honorable, courageous, and sometimes quite hilarious.The book is much like sitting in a room with the unique personality while he rails at the establishment, clearly lays our how our system was so corrupted over the last 40 years, why it happened, who was and is still pulling the strings, and then lays out a map for change moving forward.He also unabashedly squares his crosshairs directly at the Media establishment which is almost more to blame for the current predicament we are all in - CNN, MSNBC, ABC, even PBS to an extent are just extensions of the voice of our corporate overloads, not voices of truth to inform the people....and don't get him started on corporations like Amazon, Facebook, and Twitter ( I will not call it X, how ludicrous).I agree wholeheartedly with the core premise of the book - That the US political establishment (in fact the world political establishment) is so extremely out-of-touch with the people, corrupt; all the while the US people (and people of the world) are overwhelmingly progressive in their ideals and beliefs. We have all been gas-lit for too long by the media and by billionaires, in order to serve THEIR purposes, not those of the common good.I you want a cogent breakdown of the mess we are all in, who is to blame, and how we wipe away the stain of corruption that is the current US political establishment (non partisan, it is the whole political body at this point) then i strongly recommend this book.He is a great writer, but a much greater voice for change in this dire world we live in now, and I see him and this book as a lightning rod for change, a beacon to us all to rise up together and seize back the reigns of power to serve people (politically, of course).TOO STRONG, CENK!!!
