Or do bookstores only stock right wing books? The most "left" book I can find at this Books A Million is the latest from Bernie Sanders ๐

Circular grift of right wing authors and billionaires gaming the NYT best seller list, bookstores also being in on this game. They're the book equivalent of mockbuster, asylum style movies. They're written by poorly paid ghost writers and then bought in huge quantities to drive up sales numbers, then bookstores sell a bunch based on those phantom sales. Publisher makes money since they're often owned by the billionaire or right wing media agency or whatever.
