Why Democrats Choose Moderates Over Progressives

In race after primary race the establishment wing of the Democratic Party is choosing moderates over progressives in this, most critical of midterm election years. On our show today we’ll turn to David Dayen who will cite research about how the electability argument doesn’t hold water. Then, Shaun Richman will join us to discuss a recent Supreme Court decision on worker arbitration and the undermining of class action lawsuits, and what could come out of the court on the critical Janus Vs. AFSCME labor case. Finally, as public trust in media continues to erode and newsrooms remain dominated by white male perspectives, we’ll feature a new project – a collaboration between lawyers and journalists called Community Based News Room. Chaumtoli Haq with the group Law at the Margins will be our guest.
