Political theorist and author of Legitimacy in Liberal Democracies and The Chronic Crisis of American Democracy Benjamin Studebaker returns to Bad Faith with a wakeup call for the left: You've learned nothing from the Bernie 2020/2024 cycles. He criticizes the "Jacobin left" for not recognizing the need to overcome a key divide separating the erstwhile left coalition: The divide between college educated and not college educated voters. Can a Bernie-style candidate ever succeed in a world where about half of the electorate is susceptible to MSM critiques of the left as non-diverse because of their academic socialization? Will their more elite priorities (eg student loan debt cancellation, minority rights) ever alight with the economic priorities of working class voters? This became a healthy debate that gets to the core of what's next for the left.

The Trump administration has pursued a high tariff policy, reversing the movement to lower trade barriers around the world. The justification for this policy is the presence of trade deficits with other nations. However, what if US trade deficits don't matter?

Every year, on the last Monday in May, the United States honors its war dead. It is often celebrated with parades, cookouts, and ceremonies at military cemeteries.
While many people just think of it as a three-day weekend and the beginning of summer, it is a tradition that extends back over 160 years.
From its 19th-century origins, its path to becoming a federal holiday took over 100 years.
Learn more about Memorial Day, how it got started, and how it is celebrated, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
