The Nation Magazine for Android

I’m a left-of-center old-time liberal and chair of my local Democratic organization. I subscribe to The Nation and appreciate its weekly take on the state of the USA and the world. I also subscribe to National Review, the conservative weekly that supports the Republican Party while being ant-Trump from the beginning of that obscene demagogue’s appearance on the political stage. I read NR to be informed about conservative opinion, the better to argue against it. I find I read NR more frequently than The Nation for one main reason: NR has an online daily news update that comes directly to my email. Half the time it’s straight reporting about significant events happening at the moment, often before I hear about them from other sources. The other half is timely and thoughtful opinion pieces. I do wish deeply that The Nation would venture onto something similar from the liberal-progressive viewpoint. Instead it merely reproduces the contents of its weekly magazine. Failure to compete with NR on the platform it now dominates puts their opposition at a disadvantage.

Having access to The Nation is a lifeline in the political desert of Ohio.

Most thorough article I’ve read on Lula’s victory in Brazil. TY.

I subscribed thinking that I would be getting quality writing. Instead, for the most part, I have found that the writing to be poorly thought out groupspeak that does very little to encourage people to really think. I will not be renewing my membership.
