The media can't stop talking about the gridlock in Washington, as if a handful of stubborn Republicans is the only thing standing between us and a fully functional democracy. The reality is that our government has been taken over by Big Business and their allies in both political parties. The getaway driver in this heist is corporate media, which does the bidding of its advertisers. The good news is that the American people are very progressive. Soon, progressives will take over Washington as well! And when they do, the great majority of Americans will love it.

In Justice Is Coming, The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur presents two ideas that counter everything we hear from pundits and politicians on a daily basis: one, progressives are correct on all issues, and two, America is actually a very progressive country. Millions of us know that we are a part of something larger, a movement that is already transforming Washington.

This compulsively readable manifesto seeks to apply the momentum we have already built to a concrete progressive agenda that activists, voters, and citizens can all rally around. It looks beyond Donald Trump to the larger historical forces that have given us this unique political moment and explains why we should fight, how we should fight, and how we will win.

Sharp-witted, persuasive, and inspiring, Justice Is Coming calls out toxic Republicans, politely ineffectual Democrats, and mealymouthed media mavens in equal measure, and will give heart to Democrats and progressives who seek to change our politics and society for the better.

Praise for Justice Is Coming

"The founder of the Young Turks presents a hopeful thesis that present polarization will resolve itself in a left-leaning democracy. . . . An optimistic prophecy that a saner, more equitable politics will take the place of whatever it is we have now."—Kirkus Reviews

IT’S THE CORRUPTION, STUPID

Here’s a question you’re likely to have: if progressive policies are so popular, why don’t they get passed into law? Why isn’t America run by bleeding-heart liberals...
