"America has survived a near-economic disaster. While the state of employment and housing will one day improve, we will never return to the false prosperity that defined the first decade of the 21st century. Progressives hold the key to quality of life in our coming post-consumerist society. We need to confront right-wing ideology and how post-industrial capitalism has undermined work, government, and our very way of life. We need to move beyond the...

They see that the way to win is by first telling people everything that is wrong with the world, and then painting a vision of the life they want -- a Utopian...

"Almost no one thought Joe Biden could make it back to the White House--not Donald Trump, not the two dozen Democratic rivals who sought to take down a weak front-runner, not the mega-donors and key endorsers who feared he could not beat Bernie Sanders, not even Barack Obama. The story of Biden's cathartic victory in the 2020 election is the story of a Democratic Party at odds with itself, torn between the single-minded goal of removing Donald Trump...
