Buckle up for Obama 2.0! Less than a month into the Biden era, liberals are back at brunch and progressives are failing to hold 46 accountable. Meanwhile far-right movements aren’t going anywhere, and they’re growing across the West. The Bitches and Jacobin’s Nando Vila ask why. Plus, neoliberal girlboss Neera Tanden’s confirmation hearing was pure comedy. Did she really call Bernie an “ignorant slut”? On the foreign policy side of things, Biden looks just as hawkish as Trump, Obama, and Bush. Deporting undocumented kids? Check. Propping up puppet regimes? Check. Meddling in elections? Check. Starving ordinary people with sanctions? Check. We end by (surprise!) shitting on the corporate media and the not-so-feel-good stories that they continue to shove down our throats.
The Left Bitches are Anissa Naouai, Erica Marable, Rania Khalek, and Amanda Getty. Produced by Gregory Haddock with music by Jonathan Hurley. Visit patreon.com/leftbitches for same-day release, bonus episodes, and more.
