This is going to sound anti-intellectual, but I mean it sincerely—my favorite interregnum episodes are ones where Richard just tells us (leftists, in this case American leftists) what to do. I feel such a lifting of anxiety and fear, like ok it’s fine there is no one to vote for, just concentrate on local organizing, got it. Much appreciated!

Slightly disappointed to find out it's not so off the cuff after all. But then again, had wondered if there might come a day when Mr Seymour ran out of words. This now seems less likely if his answers are pre-cooked. Bottom line, big fan of his spiel.
