This author is well known for trolling the Jacobin Magazine crowd, so I feel a bit silly taking his arguments in good faith. But I can't help but point out how bizarre this statement is:

> It’s easy to draw a line between this unhappiness and the socialist movement in the U.S. Socialism rapidly became more popular among young Americans in the 2010s, and the Bernie Sanders movement exploded upon the national scene. The socialist movement has people from all classes, but overall it’s far from a proletarian movement — this is fundamentally a revolt of the professional-managerial class, or at least the people who expected their education to make them a part of that class.

Sanders did disproportionately well with voters without a college degree. If there is any candidate that fits the the author's concept, it would be Elizabeth Warren.

Jacobin is well known for being incredibly low quality journalism. So why would calling that out affect his credibility?
