Fascism or Genocide How a Decade of Political Disorder Broke American Politics
Fascism or Genocide is New York Times Magazine writer Ross Barkanās sweeping report on the 2024 US election and the decade of political upheaval leading up to it.
As in 2020, Joe Biden campaigned on a platform to save democracy, but fewer voters were persuaded this time. During the Democratic primary season, more than half a million Americans cast votes for āUncommittedā ballot options to send Biden a message about the urgent need to end the killing in Gaza, with some tagging him āGenocide Joe.ā
In contrast, mainstream liberals backed the Democratic ticket in the belief that Trump would put America on the road to fascism. As the director of an influential Palestinian advocacy group tells Barkan, āItās a choice between fascism or genocide.ā
Bidenās withdrawal from the election and Kamala Harrisās subsequent nomination barely changed the narrative. Millions of Democrats stayed home after souring on the party, while others switched allegiance and got behind the Trump team. Fascism or Genocide takes a hard, informed look at the election, focusing on the future of the Democratic Party, the influence and potential of the progressive āSquad,ā and ongoing culture wars within the party.
