   What is one thing that students in a class on politics and media should read together about this US election? Old or new is fine.

     @ntnsndr The Republicans are telling lies as a strategy to create uncertainty, a political technology attributed to the Russians or Hitler. One place to read about this idea is from Heather Cox Richardson, October 6, 2024. https://open.substack.com/pub/heathercoxrichardson/p/october-6-2024?r=4fkv5&utm_medium=ios

     The Verge’s editorial on October 29th is a good piece about what was at stake in the election: https://www.theverge.com/24282022/kamala-harris-endorsement-presidential-election-2024

     It captures what is (should be?) the purpose of government. And how the voting public has completely missed that.

     The Verge has its roots deep in tech. But that shouldn’t be an obstacle for your students.

     @ntnsndr If you can bear a foreign, outsider economist perspective on it then maybe this: https://mainlymacro.blogspot.com/2024/11/how-could-they-vote-for-him.html
     I think the URL says it all...
     Even so, it is thoughtful.
