Bernie Sanders Can Still Win the Nomination and the Presidency
There is no use in sugarcoating the scale of last night’s defeat. But there is still a pathway to victory for Bernie Sanders.
The “Uncommitted” Movement Is Hugely Popular
Large numbers of Democratic primary voters are rejecting Joe Biden over Israel’s murderous war on Gaza. The president risks undermining any moral argument for his reelection in November.
Joe Lie-den
Joe Biden can’t stop lying. He lies for popularity, he lies to protect billionaires’ profits, and he lies to cover his own misdeeds. If he were to quit lying, Biden would be exposed for who he actually is: a happy stooge of industry trying to squash the rising demand for a better world.
The Corporate Media Convinced Millions That Bernie Was “Unelectable”
There is overwhelming evidence a surge of mostly older, Trump-fearing voters decided the Democratic primary — and that Bernie Sanders failed to counter an establishment messaging campaign that Trump would beat him in a general election.
A Study Last Week Claimed to Prove That Bernie Is Unelectable. It Turns Out the Study Is Bunk.
A big new study came out last week arguing that Bernie Sanders's electability could be a “mirage.” There's just one problem: the report is nonsense.
Democrats Learned to Love Class Dealignment
The neoliberal economic program embraced by the Clinton-era Democratic Party alienated many working-class voters. Democrats responded by reorienting their electoral strategy toward professional-class voters, accelerating workers’ departure from the party.
The Death of the Iran Deal Was Entirely Avoidable
The Iran deal could easily have been maintained had it not been for a series of perverse policy choices by Donald Trump and Joe Biden. Now, with the deal scrapped, Israel and the US are once again threatening to attack Iran.
Labor Has a Once-in-a-Generation Opportunity. Now Is Not the Time for Moderation.
In his first 100 days as president, Joe Biden has proven unusually willing to associate his administration with the labor movement's agenda. Unions have a greater opening to win an expansive pro-worker agenda than they have in decades. But we haven't seen real change yet.
The Politics of a Second Gilded Age
The mass inequality of America’s first Gilded Age thrived on identity-based partisanship, helping extinguish the fires of class rage. In 2021, we’re headed down the same path.
It’s Time to Drop Out, Senator Warren
After her woeful Super Tuesday results, Elizabeth Warren has next to no chance of winning more delegates than Bernie Sanders. But she has a plan for that — only it’s the opposite of everything she once stood for. (And it won’t even work.)
Krystal Ball: Why Politicians Like John Fetterman Won
It turns out when you promise to do even the bare minimum for people, they tend to vote for you. The more Democrats act like John Fetterman and the less they act like Larry Summers, the more they'll win in the Rust Belt.
The GOP Is Set to Roll Back a Raft of Consumer Protections
Many of the Biden administration’s final policy measures could soon be rolled back and permanently prohibited by the incoming GOP Congress, thanks to Democratic gambles and an obscure federal law increasingly weaponized by Republican lawmakers.
US Air Strikes in Yemen Are Risking Regional War
Joe Biden could use US leverage to support a cease-fire in Gaza and end the Houthis’ attacks on commercial ships. Instead he’s chosen to escalate the Gaza war by bombing Yemen.
How the Left Beat Trump in Michigan
According to centrists, the “blue wave” didn’t materialize because of the Left. That’s nonsense — and in at least one crucial swing state, Joe Biden rode to victory because of the organizing of progressives and leftists.
Israel’s War on the People of Gaza Must Not Be Allowed to Continue
A temporary cease-fire made it easier to grasp the horrifying violence inflicted upon civilians in Gaza by the Israeli military. As Israel begins another onslaught, Joe Biden will bear full responsibility for the carnage that follows unless he demands a halt.
Internationalism Is in Labor’s Interest
The old labor slogan “An injury to one is an injury to all” isn’t just a moral imperative. It’s the practical foundation of a strong labor movement.
Kamala Harris Poured Some Old Wine Into New Bottles on Her Tour of Africa
Media reports presented Kamala Harris’s recent trip to Africa as a historic departure for US policy toward the continent. Beneath the hype, however, the Biden administration is carrying on with the same militarized, self-serving approach as its predecessors.
Trump 2.0 Means More Pain in the Middle East
Joe Biden has facilitated a devastatingly brutal war by Israel against Gaza. Donald Trump is about to make it much worse.
Bernie’s Flawed Vehicle
At his speech to the Democratic National Convention last night, Bernie Sanders played the usual hits — and also called for a cease-fire in Gaza. But his righteous populist anger felt out of place before a party still dominated by corporate interests.
