In this edition of The Humanist Report we’ll discuss an inconvenient truth about the Democratic Party: they’re only good at resisting insofar as that pertains to blocking progressives from electoral victories. We’ll talk about potential shenanigans that may occur in 2020 if Bernie Sanders decides to run again and how the Democratic Party establishment is shunning progressive candidates that don’t raise large sums of money from multinational corporations and billionaires. Additionally, Senate Democrats caved again, and DREAMers are now only relying on House Democrats to save them. Finally, we’ll talk about net neutrality and tell you what’s new and before the show ends, Amy Vilela will drop by to give us an update on her campaign. All of these topics are covered here—enjoy!
