RSH 15 -- Bernie Sanders Post-Mortem: Worst sheepdog ever (4.10.2020)

Recorded April 8, 2020. Adam and Peter discuss Bernie Sanders suspending his presidential campaign, essentially dropping out of the race (he's still on the ballot to collect delegates). They talk about how and why the Sanders campaign lost and what lessons the Left should take away, such as building left institutions. Adam also explains why there is no Black politics in America.
