Recorded Feb. 23. Bernie was riding high last Sunday and this Sunday its kinda sucky. We aren't down because we know that Super Tuesday was always the prize and Bernie got the boost he needed to make a YUUUUGGEE Super Duper Tuesday Happen. Ashwin still holds his doubts that the DNC will sandbag a Bernie Nomination no matter what. So ignore the boastful predictions of a SC win and tune into our breakdown of the past month in politics.

This colonizer holiday, M2M takes the time to reflect on the things that we are thankful for this 2019. One of those things happens to be billionaires who are wasting their money by running for president and sabotaging centrist democratic candidates.

#Resist is soooooooo 2017. It's passe! Ditch it, dudes! 2018 is the year of the #Revolt. Come. Let's get started. Look over at the Mountain State of West Virginia where a new generation of progressive change-makers are standing up. The teacher unions are edging towards a state-wide strike and bringing with the public employees and many other unions in solidarity. In Florida, we suffer another tragedy but the dangerous balance is upset when the students, the future of the country, start speaking for themselves and their desire to change the detente on gun laws in this country.
