Can't figure out why Corey Robin and Bhaskar Sunkara keep promoting
socialism, at least as they see it, in the Washington Post and the NY
Times. You'd assume that the Daily News, read by subway workers et al
(at least those that still read newspapers), would be a more suitable
location. I guess they are trying to reach other academics, or in
Bhaskar's case, businessmen.
No one outside New York reads the Daily News. And my observation in
Atlanta is that people joining DSA (here, almost 200 so far this year)
are millennials with a college degree and a low-level clerical or
service industry job. The more serious ones with a few bucks to spare
subscribe to the New York Times digital edition, just as many
politically serious boomers read the NYT when we were their age (if we
could get our hands on it outside New York).
So for example the chair of our chapter led a Jacobin reading group and
was driving Uber to try to survive (I think he recently got a more
regular job). And if I remember right, he follows the NYT.
