Merch Link Here teespring.com/stores/useful-i...
Is the world’s biggest political road show enough to win an election? Matt Taibbi heads to Springfield, Virginia to a Bernie Sanders campaign rally in the run-up to Super Tuesday. Are they feeling the Bern? Yes. Baby Yoda tees? Check. "Black people love Bernie," says one supporter. The enthusiasm is infectious.
Watch as Taibbi brings out the inner rock star in those in attendance: How hard is it to do Vanilla Ice, Tears for Fears, or Bell Biv DeVoe in Bernie-voice?

Dear Rolling Stone: Matt is the only reason I still follow your publication. Sincerely, Everyone

[@alveolate]

heyyy katie's decent too sometimes

[@signedupforNat]

Katie too!!! :)

[@Cancellator5000]

The only reason I've ever followed their publication. I guess it's good for pop culture stuff if that's your thing. I don't understand the obsession with pop culture, but hey, it's important to a lot of people. You need something to take your mind off the intellectual and moral rot in our society.

[@ProteusTG]

Yep, No M4A No student debt relief. No cheaper drugs. No Green new deal. No Legal pot. No change. Is this all normal?

[@paradisepipeco]

*There is NO credible argument that Bernie is NOT "normalcy". NOTHING "abnormal" or extreme about Bernie's platform. The only thing "extreme" or "revolutionary" is that the corruption has been so established by big money control, that it seems extreme to have a government by the people and for the people instead of by and for the ruling class. Bullshit has become "Normalcy".*

[@michaelhomes8049]

Im a huge fan of this guy. Thanks taibbi

[@ohsnap7879]

I think Bernie is so loved that he has become a celeb and inspiration to the world!

[@jeremychase7416]

Someone at a funeral said today, I don't want to live another 25 years, someone will have to take care of me. I said, that's why I'm nice to young people. No one I knew, I simply serve people in their lowest moments. That's why I like Bernie, you can tell he means what he says. There's no bullshit with him.

[@paradisepipeco]

The problem is that Bernie is such a huge disappointment to so many Americans that rely on bullshit for their wealth and very existence.

[@triqyricky3278]

The Rally in San Jose 3/1/20 I got there at 9:30am , the line was 100 yards long. The rally in San Jose , doors opened at 11:30 am, Bern came on at 2:30 and talked for 45 minutes. By 12:30 , The line stretched back from South Hall on Market Street , around the corner on San Carlos, almost to Almaden, Capacity is over 11,000, but there were over 10,000 there easily

Owe, be nice.

[@kylewagoner]

I feel bad for the suffering people in this country for having to sit through this.

[@samrozell1905]

"I want stable and normal." Hmmm, what's the norm right now? Decreasing life expectancy, increasing suicide rate, increasing homelessness, crushing student debt, most wealth disparity since the gilded age, bankruptcy as a result of medical costs, lack of ability to offload crushing student debt in bankruptcy (thanks Joe), lack of affordable housing, a new exploitative economy that favors the rich while teachers have to drive uber to make ends meet, oh and I almost forgot... climate change. I think what she's really trying to say is "I've got mine and I just want a nice president so I can continue to stick my head in the sand."

[@paradisepipeco]

You described the current acceptance of normal quite well. As to stable, that is where we find all the horseshit. Bernie is not afraid to pick up a shovel.

[@tegridyfarms9972]

You forgot the normalcy of almost daily mass shootings and an opioid epidemic in which 4.4% of the planet's population consumes 80% of the World's opioids. Yeah, you know. Normal.

Rolling Stone is NOT progressive. They endorsed Clinton over Sanders in 2016, and have run puff pieces on Klobuchar, Warren, and Buttigieg in 2020. Useful Idiots (Katie Halper and Matt Taibbi) are progressive. I'm actually kind of amazed RS allows these two to broadcast their content under the RS umbrella.
