In this episode of The Humanist Report we’ll give you a bit of good news for once: progressives are starting to win. Not only were we able to influence the DNC to drastically reduce the power of superdelegates, but we’ve now successfully convinced a majority of Republicans that Medicare for All is the right option when it comes to American healthcare—but that’s not all we’ll talk about on this show! Additionally,  we’ll take a steaming dump on Trump for loosening restrictions on the rules of engagement in Yemen, discuss Bernie Sanders’ plan to force multinational corporations off of welfare, look at John McCain’s legacy, Bill Maher’s sucking up to the establishment, Verizon’s recent net neutrality violation, and more! Enjoy the program!
