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.

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 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
