Donald Trump’s satisfyingly disastrous rally in Tulsa last weekend has further cemented the consensus that Trump is toast in November. But liberal complacency allowed Trump to win in 2016 — and it could still do the same in 2020.
Days after attacking socialized medicine during the presidential debate, Donald Trump received government health care to treat his coronavirus. Former Bernie Sanders campaign manager Jeff Weaver argues that we all deserve the type of high-quality public care the president received.
QAnon has become far bigger than any one political figure attached to it. Q is a new and radically postmodern species of right-wing politics, capable of transcending the boundaries of nation and culture. And it’s not going away anytime soon.
The Republican presidential debate last night was an unhinged parade of War on Terror–style militarism and paranoid saber-rattling. With or without Donald Trump, the GOP has absolutely lost it.
Until recently, denying refugees the right of asylum, sending migrants to be killed in Mexico, and keeping kids in cages were policies considered so evil that for liberal America there was no higher priority than ending them. Then Joe Biden became president.
The media is full of anti-Trump pundits pining for the leadership of George W. Bush. Yet virtually every aspect of Donald Trump’s presidency was built on the hard-right, authoritarian legacy of his Republican predecessor.
Burke, Hayek... Trump? Yes, The Donald fits well within the right-wing tradition.
It’s the job of politicians to appeal to voters. Right now what Joe Biden is selling is two wars and an economy that isn’t working for far too many ordinary people. If Donald Trump wins, don't blame the electorate: this is Biden's election to lose.

There’s something deeply ironic about Donald Trump’s bizarre, pre-election “YMCA” video: You can no longer stay at the Village People’s YMCA in Manhattan, because the gentrification carried out by real estate barons like Trump drove out housing for poor people.
Donald Trump represents his own category in the taxonomy of assholes.
At a time when it couldn't be clearer how desperately we need to roll back carbon emissions, Trump has not only made it easier for fossil fuel companies to increase them — he has also changed rules to make it harder for climate activists to fight back.
In an ad for his daughter Liz Cheney, Dick Cheney denounced Trump as a “threat to our republic.” Dick seems to have forgotten that, unlike Trump, he and George W. Bush successfully stole an election.
Bernie Sanders doesn't just have high favorables among young people — independent voters love him too. And that's why he would have a better chance than anyone else in November.
Donald Trump is attempting to drum up hysteria about antifa to clamp down on protest and dissent in the United States. Don't let him.
What did millions of voters see in Trump? His speeches hold the answer.
One could say that Trumpism and corporate feminism are two sides of the same coin.
The Democrats' confused and inept handling of the final stage of the impeachment trial revealed the contradiction at the heart of the party's politics: whether it's trying to represent bold change or simply a return to the pre-Trump status quo.
The GOP establishment doesn't hate Trump because he's a bigot. They hate him because he doesn't promote the neoliberal agenda.
George W. Bush and Donald Trump are both monsters. If you want to criticize Trump — which I encourage — find a way to do it without touting or pining for a war criminal.
