You don’t have to read too close between the lines to see a heathen peeking out.

In New York magazine this week, Jonathan Chait attempts to make “The Case Against Bernie Sanders.” Allow us to un-make it.

Though we wish it were not so, America has a two-party political system. Both parties share many of the same bad qualities. But one is unique, in that it is a machine made of fraud.

The battle between Sen. Bernie Sanders and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) is about to come to fisticuffs—or, at least, some strongly-worded open letters.

The skirmish between the Sanders and Clinton campaigns this week continues, with Sen. Bernie Sanders regaining access to his own voter files, after the Democratic National Convention had cut him off.

Yesterday, while Donald Trump was calling for a ban on Muslims entering America, Bernie Sanders was calling for a carbon tax.

During this election season, you will hear candidates argue about lots of things. Only two things are really important.

Haim Saban (pictured, at right) is a billionaire entertainment mogul and a major Democratic political donor. This week, he voiced what might be considered a new mainstream Democratic attitude towards civil liberties.

Yesterday, the SEIU, one of America’s strongest and most politically active labor unions, endorsed Hillary Clinton for president. Hmm.

So far, America’s most powerful labor unions are more likely to endorse Hillary Clinton than Bernie Sanders, even though Sanders’ beliefs are more pro-labor than Clinton’s. This is dumb. And fearful.

Thanks to Jon Meacham’s new biography of George H.W. Bush, we learned today that the elder Bush referred to his 1988 Democratic opponent, Michael Dukakis, as “midget nerd.” Is no one immune from vicious, accurate two-word epithets?

Campaign finance reformer Larry Lessig, the only presidential candidate thus far to sit for an interview with Gawker, is dropping his bid for the Democratic nomination. Other presidential candidates are urged to ignore this precedent and contact us to schedule an interview.

The Washington Post’s “Fact Checker” column today politely scoffs at Hillary Clinton’s assertion that her husband only signed the anti-gay marriage Defense of Marriage Act as a “defensive action” against a possible Constitutional Amendment that would have been even worse. Sure.

A little secret of political journalism is that the vast majority of it is just some jerk’s opinion, which has a scientific value roughly equal to your own idiot opinion.

Harvard professor and campaign finance reform crusader Lawrence Lessig is running for the Democratic nomination for president. He was not allowed in tonight’s debates. Luckily, he stopped by to explain his entire platform to us.

Last Friday, United States Labor Secretary Tom Perez visited Gawker Media’s headquarters to talk about jobs, inequality, unions, politics, the TPP, and much more. Watch him answer our questions, below.

A group trying to entice “Diamond” Joe Biden into the presidential race is making the vice president an attractive offer: run, and we won’t show this dramatic television ad about your dead wife and daughter.

After the auspicious stepping-down of former tan mom/emotional dad John Boehner, and the subsequent withdrawal of speaker candidate Rep. Kevin McCarthy, the Republican party is at a loss, grasping for straws — or anyone who will volunteer to lead the party. Meanwhile, the Democrats are having a jolly good laugh at the whole thing, seizing the golden opportunity to seem “personable” — not in calculated way.

Elizabeth Warren, who somehow manages the neat trick of being a U.S. Senator and at the same time appearing thoroughly unbeholden to any moneyed interests, has hung a fresh scalp upon her scalp wall.
