Socialism VS Barbarism w/Maurice Mitchell of WFP (Ep 305)
Is that hope we’re all feeling? After the absolute trouncing of Republicans on November 4th, people who believe in basic decency are feeling pretty damn good. But the real hope lies with the young Zohran Mamdani who won over 50% of the NYC mayoral vote to send the Cuomo dynasty packing.
And organizations like the Working Families Party helped make it happen. National Director Maurice Mitchell joins Francesca to discuss what this sweet victory over the corporate status quo means for the possibilities for democratic politics despite such dark days. How did organizing and groups like WFP helping incubate the next Zohran Mamdanis?
Plus, Nancy Pelosi resigns and centrists on MSNBC carry water for Ezra Klein. And Francesca looks at the right’s massive cope over the election as they go through the seven stages of grief.
