I will be upfront, again, that I think this moment requires radicality of us, and therefore requires liberals and people who have largely abstained from politics to move left. That’s not because of some grand ideological vision of mine, but because the harsh fact is that corporations and billionaires have wholly bought our political system, and meaningfully opposing them means embracing an approach that uplifts the power of the masses and pushes hard against capitalist power. This is the simple reality that led the first workers to unionize and resist the cruel exploitation of oligarchs — self-interest and self-preservation. The fact that this has been branded a radical left approach says more about who’s done the branding than anything else. #uspol
