I felt it wasn't quite my place to comment on the discussion going on in the Changing of the Guard thread but I feel that people are being overly knee-jerky at the thought of a more leftist America. I mean, Jello Biafra used a surviving McKinley as part of her track towards an outright Democratic Socialist/Syndicalist America and as far as I cal tell her work is regarded as some of the best on AH.
