March 10, 2020 Jacobin Radio: Matt Karp and Adolph Reed on Super Tuesday
Suzi looks at the significance and aftermath of South Carolina and Super Tuesday, asking basic questions about the disconnect between the enthusiasm and support for progressive policies and Bernie Sanders (and Elizabeth Warren to a lesser degree), and the reality of people then voting for Biden. Was it fear, motivated by the constant drum of the corporate media that Bernie is not electable but Biden is? We get views and analysis from our guests Matt Karp and Adolph Reed.
