Political theorist and author of Legitimacy in Liberal Democracies and The Chronic Crisis of American Democracy Benjamin Studebaker returns to Bad Faith with a wakeup call for the left: You've learned nothing from the Bernie 2020/2024 cycles. He criticizes the "Jacobin left" for not recognizing the need to overcome a key divide separating the erstwhile left coalition: The divide between college educated and not college educated voters. Can a Bernie-style candidate ever succeed in a world where about half of the electorate is susceptible to MSM critiques of the left as non-diverse because of their academic socialization? Will their more elite priorities (eg student loan debt cancellation, minority rights) ever alight with the economic priorities of working class voters? This became a healthy debate that gets to the core of what's next for the left.
