In These Times, progressives have the solutions

Our panel discusses the alarming rise in COVID cases in Wisconsin as kids begin to get vaccinated. Why is this pandemic continuing into a third year with no end in sight? We discuss Ron Johnson's shocking call for the Republican Legislature to take over the state’s election commission and run federal elections, and Judge Michael Gableman’s shameful testimony in a legislative hearing this week? Are there no limits to what the hard right GOP will do to undermine democracy? We express our deep concern that the Kyle Rittenhouse trial is not going well as the whole world (again) watches Wisconsin in horror. Finally we have an in-depth conversation with In These Times magazine publisher Joel Bleifuss about new research which shows why centrist Democrats are losing working-class voters and how the party’s progressive left has the popular bread-and-butter solutions to our electoral challenges
