Episode 202 with Ro Khanna
Happy Thanksgiving! We’re so grateful for your support of the show over the last almost-four (!) years, allowing us to talk to our favorite people (Bernie Sanders, Noam Chomsky, presidential candidates, football players, comedians and so much more) over the course of two-hundred-plus episodes. Huge gratitude to our paying subscribers who, for $5 a month, keep us ad-free. To express our appreciation, this week we’re giving all of you video of our most recent interview with Rep. Ro Khanna, thinking about the future of the Democratic Party. As we sift through the wreckage and renew our fight for a pro-working class agenda, please consider supporting the show so we can continue to build populist left media.
With Ro, we’re trying to make sense of whether establishment Democrats will choose to learn from their mistakes and embrace something akin to the social democracy that polls so well among their constituents — or whether Kamala 2024 is the kind of austere, unimaginative and ultimately unsuccessful effort we can expect from the Dems going forward. Bernie’s recent choice to take the gloves off in a letter harshly critiquing the Democratic Party shows that politicians attuned to the needs of working people aren’t finding a political home in the Democrats. What kind of political home is possible?
Thanks for tuning in. You can listen to this episode as a podcast when it’s released tomorrow on major streaming platforms.
