How We Do It

The squad is joined by Dustin Guastella, who is an organizer for the Teamsters, a member of Philly DSA, a frequent contributor to Jacobin Magazine, and owner of the best mustache on the socialist left. We discuss the post-Bernie moment and address the most pressing demands facing the socialist left in 2020 and beyond.

Adam and Ben introduce a new co-host. The squad riffs on Bill Clinton's time on the "Lolita Express," assess the new "mask off" Democratic Party mainstream (unity, be damned), and top it off with a chat about teacher's strike action getting the goods.

Adam is sick this week so we're unlocking last week's B-side for the masses. In the first half of this 2.5 hour behemoth of an episode, Adam and Ben discuss Matt Taibbi's cancellation. On the second half, they're joined by Matt Christman of the Chapo Trap Houses, who advises everyone to log off.

Log off, everyone.

On this week's A-side, Adam and Ben pray for a benevolent apocalypse and muse on the latest liberal moral panic and how socialists should respond to the endless stream of culture warrior nonsense.
