He was a leading voice in the "support for Bernie Sanders comes from a place of sexism" camp during the primary. Pretty relentless and disingenuous about it. A millionaire couch-laugher lecturing progressive millennials about privilege.

Hi Andy. Big Fan. Bernie Sanders would have won.

Podesta fell for a Phishing email. People are acting like this was some sophisticated cyber-warfare and saying things like "Russia hacked the government" when what they did was to release internal DNC emails. The idea that this is what changed the minds of Wisconsin steelworkers… Democrats are not very good at…

It is a pretty weird thing that we've got going on now where lots of anti-Semitic people are openly in support of Israel's insane rightwing government. I guess maybe they hate Palestinians just a little bit more? Or maybe they just worship power, per se?

Everybody - if you're about to spend time expressing disdain/outrage over the latest weird/awful thing that Trump said/did - please, close your laptop, turn off your device and go join an organization. One that actually meets in person, not just forwards online petitions. An environmental organization, a labor union,…

Worldwide, Marx is the most cited source in all of the humanities. Cited more than the Quran, Shakespeare, the Bible, Cicero, etc. It's a pretty insane fact of Cold War hysteria that it's so rare for people in the US to read such an incredibly important figure, but to nevertheless have such strong opinions about his…

I just finished Class Notes by Adolph Reed. Got it at the library, I'm not sure it's still in print. It's just a really good exploration of labor organizing, identity politics, and how to build political movements. Published 15 years ago but the intro especially read like a critique of current neoliberal Democrat…

That's Romeo, Michigan, median household income $10,000 more than the median US household income - same as the median Trump voter income vs median US income.

My understanding is that the political science literature is pretty well established that positive messages (my policies will do X, Y, and Z for you) drive voter turnout up and negative messages (my opponent has done X, Y, and Z terrible things) drive voter turnout down (e.g. http://rap.sagepub.com/cont… ). So…

At this year's Sundance, there's also going to be a documentary on the horribly-misnamed and stigmatized neurological condition called chronic fatigue syndrome. Looking forward to that one, called Unrest.

It's such a tiny, tiny percentage of people who voted for him. Most are still very glad he won and at their own peril Democrats keep hoping his personality will get him into enough trouble that "we're not Trump" will finally be a winning strategy.

Chapo is really good, but they forgot Amber A'Lee Frost is cohost too! I also really dig DeleteYourAccount, which is radical leftist but definitely not like a comedy show.

Sizemore vs Sylvester in an overacting-off competition?

And it always makes me sneeze but I can't stop ha ha… I got the chance to spend a few weeks in Sri Lanka several years ago and fell in love with Elephant House brand ginger beer

I'm not sure I'll ever get over the fact that Trump's career wasn't completely finished by that arm-flapping thing he did to mock the disabled reporter. If an assistant manager at Arby's did that on the job, they'd be fired and told to never enter the premises again.

Sexism is part of it, of course. But until Democrats start being a real opposition party against the worst excesses of capitalism and empire, I don't think they'll start winning back the massive losses they've taken since the 1980s. Trump bullshat the public into thinking he was those things, and that's why he won.

"Trevor Noah didn't "go to war" with or "destroy" Tomi Lahren, he gave her brand more audience & humanized someone who dehumanizes us."

Who said I was a Clinton supporter?

Because the current Democratic party doesn't really reflect those liberal values super well? It's slow-to-react on social issues, is basically Republican-lite on economic ones, and is about as interventionist as the Republicans when it comes to foreign wars.
