The political tumult of the 2010s--the rise of Donald Trump, the Bernie Sanders insurgency, Black Lives Matter--gave way to a pandemic and then Joe Biden who, for a second time, decided to run against Trump. As in 2020, Biden campaigned on a platform to save democracy, but fewer voters were enthused. Biden's withdrawal from the 2024 election after a disastrous debate performance and Kamala Harris's subsequent nomination have riveted the country amid a tumultuous political moment. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDuring the Democratic primary season more than half a million Americans cast votes for \"Uncommitted\" ballot options to send Biden a message about the urgent need to end the killing in Gaza, with some tagging him \"Genocide Joe.\" These voters contrast with the sentiments of mainstream liberals, who believe Trump puts America on the road to fascism. As the director of an influential Palestinian advocacy group tells Barkan, it was a \"choice between fascism or genocide.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFascism or Genocide\u003c\/i\u003e will be among the first books published after the 2024 election, fully analyzing the election results and focusing on the future of the Democratic Party, which has been ruptured by a decade of political infighting and an unprecedented election year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ross Barkan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1804299383\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781804299388\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Verso\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/04\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.25lbs","brand":"Ross Barkan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46334699700479,"sku":"9781804299388","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_acd330ee-4ba5-4095-94a0-5dcac5322077.jpg?v=1731467532","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fascism-or-genocide-ross-barkan-9781804299388","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
