Why Are They So Mad at Bernie Supporters?
Democratic Party liberals got what they wanted in a Joe Biden nomination for president — and yet they’ve never been more contemptuous of Bernie Sanders supporters.
We Lost the Battle, but We’ll Win the War
The Bernie Sanders campaign fell short. But it assembled a coalition that, if expanded only slightly, can reshape American politics for generations to come.
Kyle Kulinski Speaks, the Bernie Bros Listen
He introduced Bernie to Joe Rogan. His show Secular Talk dominates YouTube. He even helped get AOC elected. So why doesn’t the media know who Kyle Kulinski is?
Chris Matthews Is Just Another Crybully
I hope MSNBC keeps Chris Matthews on the air for the rest of the campaign. While he might convince some with his paranoia, he’s far more likely to expose himself for the crybully he really is. And what he’s really protecting.
After the Nevada Blowout, It’s Bernie’s Party Now
Bernie Sanders’s decisive victory in Nevada today shows that he has a working-class base committed to fundamentally transforming our radically unequal political and economic system. He’s on his way to not just the nomination, but the White House.

After Bernie’s Win in Iowa, the Democratic Party Is Shitting Its Pants
Democratic Party leaders like Tom Perez have long dismissed the threat posed by Bernie Sanders. With their meltdown in Iowa after Bernie’s victory, we’re witnessing the final crumbling of that delusion — and they have no one to blame but themselves.

Krystal Ball Is the Anti–Rachel Maddow Bernie Fans Have Been Waiting For
Krystal Ball was once an MSNBC star. Now she’s one of the few mainstream media figures who gets why Bernie Sanders matters and why liberal professionals shouldn’t be allowed to dominate progressive politics.
Joe Biden Reminded Us That He’s Just Another Liberal Elitist
Yesterday, somebody asked Joe Biden a question about his failson Hunter. He responded by calling him fat and dumb. It’s just another reminder that “everyman” Joe Biden hates working-class people.
Adam McKay Is Mad as Hell
From Will Ferrell comedies to The Big Short, Vice, and Succession, Hollywood’s greatest populist is taking aim at oligarchy — from the hard left.
Elizabeth Warren Is Thirty Years Too Late
Both Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are political throwbacks. But whereas Warren wants to fix the policies that went astray in the Clinton era, Sanders wants to change the economic foundations of American life.
The Online Left Goes to War
Stefan Bertram-Lee was an internet leftist. And then they went to Rojava and got a gun.
It’s Okay to Have Children
Instead of challenging the pressures that capitalism puts on child-rearing, liberals surrender to it.
The New Communists
It’s 2017. Time to stop worrying about the questions of 1917.
Victory Over the Sun
Postwar America’s greatest environmentalist was a labor leader.
Nobody Cares About the Discourse
It’s we who represent the many. And the Democrat intelligentsia who represents the powerful few.
Steve Bannon’s Autobahn
You can’t fight Herrenvolk populism with weak-tea liberalism.
