We Americans are repeatedly told that the United States is a conservative country in which the 50-yard line of ideology is situated significantly to the right of the Western European representative democracies from which our political culture derives and to which we are most often compared. But there is a gaping chasm between the policy... Read More
The Unpersoning of Anti-Biden Democrats
• April 14, 2023

"Am I real?" "Do I exist?" "Do you see the real me?" Humans have always asked themselves these existential questions. These days, Marianne Williamson and Robert F Kennedy Jr. have more reason to wonder about their corporeal status than most. Earlier this week, because I felt that I deserved to suffer, I tuned into a... Read More
There Are More Socialists Than Democrats or Republicans. We Should Act Like It
• March 19, 2021
• 1,100 Words • 22 Comments • Reply
American leftists find themselves at a tactical crossroad. Will the 39% of Americans (and more than half of those under 30) who steadily oppose capitalism stand up for themselves? Will socialists, progressives, communists, leftist anarchists and leftist libertarians boldly fight to build a movement, thus inspiring other allies of the working class to join the... Read More
Why We Need a New Progressive Party and How We Can Create It
• April 18, 2020
• 1,000 Words • 58 Comments • Reply
There is no room for progressives in the Democratic Party. No matter how many votes he or she gets, no progressive will be permitted to be the presidential nominee of the Democratic Party. Progressives who try to work inside of, contribute to and support the Democratic Party have no real chance of moving its candidates... Read More
Progressives Decide: Dignity and Freedom, or Voting for Biden
• April 11, 2020
• 900 Words • 21 Comments • Reply
Bernie Sanders is out of the race, and with him goes the last chance for progressivism to take over the Democratic Party for a generation. Now his supporters will decide what to do. Intransigent #BernieOrBusters will cast about for a third-party vote, write in Bernie or sit out the election in November. Other left-leaning voters... Read More
Joe Biden Obviously Has Dementia and Should Withdraw

• 800 Words • 38 Comments • Reply
You Democrats ought to be ashamed of yourselves. You spent the last four years criticizing President Donald Trump in no small part for his mental state, and rightly so. The Founding Fathers included an impeachment provision in the Constitution in large part as a contingency to remove a president exactly like him, whose temperament and... Read More

Don't Worry, Centrists. Bernie Isn't Radical

Watching panicky corporate-owned Democrats twist on the devil's fork of Bernie Sanders' "political revolution" is almost as much fun as it must have been for my mom and her fellow villagers to watch Vichy collaborators and Nazi sympathizers being executed by the resistance at the end of World War II. (That, Chris Matthews, is how... Read More
Bernie Should Own the Socialism Label
• February 21, 2020
• 800 Words • 12 Comments • Reply
Bernie Sanders is currently the front-runner for the Democratic presidential nomination. He and everyone else knows exactly how the Republicans will attack him if and when he becomes the nominee: old-fashioned redbaiting. China became communist in name only during the 1980s; the Soviet Union shut its doors in 1991; the Cold War is dead; and... Read More
Corporate Crap That Doesn't Kill Bernie Just Makes Him Stronger

On Jan. 19, The New York Times oddly co-endorsed Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar for the Democratic presidential nomination. Two days later, a poll on the key New Hampshire primary showed Warren down 4 points. Bernie Sanders' surge continued. What happened? To the extent that they ever did, the editorial boards at corporate-owned media... Read More
For Progressives, Capturing the Democratic Party Is More Important Than Beating Trump
• November 9, 2019
• 800 Words • 26 Comments • Reply
Nothing, leading Democrats say, matters more than beating Donald Trump. 2020, they argue, is the most important election of our lifetimes (OK, they always say that). It's not true. If you're a progressive voter, taking back control of the Democratic Party from the Democratic Leadership Council-Clinton-Biden centrist cabal is more important than defeating the incumbent....

Bernie's Plan to Address the Retirement Crisis: Good It Exists, But Not Nearly Enough to Solve the Problem
• August 2, 2019
• 1,000 Words • 8 Comments • Reply
Two weeks ago, Bernie Sanders announced his "right to a secure retirement" plan. The media didn't notice, the voters didn't care, and no one's talking about it. But the problem is huge and about to get huger. And the government isn't doing jack. As I wrote a year ago in a column that no one... Read More

Bernie Sanders and the Failure of Propaganda
• January 20, 2016
• 1,200 Words • 116 Comments • Reply
The independent senator from Vermont says the economic system isrigged against working-class Americans. He’s right. The electoral political system is a subsidiary of those who rule the economy. Which is why Bernie Sanders never stood a chance. The political system was rigged against him. And yet, despite the formidable institutional obstacles stacked against him, Sanders... Read More
