The Outcome of the Primaries

So after the excitement fades,
We end up with the norm:
Both candidates are regulars
Who say they’re for reform.

So after the excitement fades,
We end up with the norm:
Both candidates are regulars
Who say they’re for reform.

Well, maybe both have seen the light
And understand now why
The flow of money must be stanched.
And maybe pigs can fly.

Your support makes stories like this possible

From Minneapolis to Venezuela, from Gaza to Washington, DC, this is a time of staggering chaos, cruelty, and violence. 

Unlike other publications that parrot the views of authoritarians, billionaires, and corporations, The Nation publishes stories that hold the powerful to account and center the communities too often denied a voice in the national media—stories like the one you’ve just read.

Each day, our journalism cuts through lies and distortions, contextualizes the developments reshaping politics around the globe, and advances progressive ideas that oxygenate our movements and instigate change in the halls of power. 

This independent journalism is only possible with the support of our readers. If you want to see more urgent coverage like this, please donate to The Nation today.
