July 24, 2019 UNAC Editor Democrats and Republicans, Government Corruption

by Glen Ford, published by Black Agenda Report, July 11, 2019 Bernie Sanders must very quickly get serious about building a grassroots movement-type politics on the ground that disrupts the corporate-managed pace, coverage and content of the primary season. “The corporate media have acted in near-unison to alternatively ignore or malign Sanders.” Corporate Democrats have had great success in smothering[…]
