Hillary can only win if she cries. Barack can only talk race if he doesn’t mention it by name. “Change” is the watchword of the day but no one can say what they’ll do that’s different. So how do those on the left relate to the carnival of the Democratic presidential primaries? Is it all just bread and circuses to sell more newspapers and distract from the real issues at hand? Or are there hidden meanings on the campaign trail that we need to unpack and debate? In the first of a new series of rapid response discussions, where the best critical commentators in town take on a hot button issue of the day, the Brecht Forum’s Third Thursday looks at Iowa, New Hampshire and beyond to ask “What’s any of this got to do with us?” Come along and join the conversation.Starting in 2008, join us on the Third Thursday of each month to dig beneath the headlines and late breaking news. We'll have analysts on hand to help guide a lively discussion. Check back for updates on topics and speakers.

That seems interesting. The level of discussion is terrible about the candidates.
