Meet the Nepo Baby Theater Kid Steering Democrats Toward Bearded Socialism
It’s no surprise that the Democratic Party’s embrace of chic left-wing radicalism—anti-capitalism plus anti-anti-terrorism—is being driven by a bunch of fancy prep-school kids with hipster beards.

It is tragic, and bare and raw where Tunnel of Love is overstuffed and dull.
