About this episode

Jared Yates Sexton and Danielle Moodie discuss the implications of recent primary results for the Democratic Party and the need for change away from corporate influence.

Oh, man. As the Democratic Party and corporate centrists everywhere freak out over Tuesday’s primary results, Danielle Moodie and I talked about the wake-up call that the party is either going to have to heed or face a fairly uncertain future. Here, we discuss the trajectory of the Democratic Party over the past few decades, wrestle with the popular fictions and myths the leaders both revel in and perpetuate, and how a very, very large reality check is coming for Democrats if they don’t abandon their current allegiance to corporate and billionaire donors and come to represent a population desperate for change. Dispatches From A Collapsing State enjoys absolutely no corporate funding whatsoever.
