If progressives are willing to organize and shut down the economy.

Is the full episode somewhere, or are they releasing a day late until ep. 4?

Fully agree but -- we have also had a 3-year long Russia-gate hoax !! It is that surprising that Trump and his supporters see fraud everywhere? By DNC, by media, by deep-state. Let's be fair and balanced. And your DSA just took stand against Force the Vote ?!

Dem party will not recover until it faces corruption and immense fabrication - against both Trump and Bernie. The entire anti-Russian narrative is a deliberate fabrication. Who will be the first to finally state that? Without this there is NO hope for Dems.

Clapper, Brennan & Hayden trio were among former 50 intelligence officials stating that Hunter-laptop is classical “Russian disinformation”.

- They were also key promoters of the three-year Russia-gate hoax.

- They were also key intelligence executives in Obama/Biden/Hillary government – the government which hunted Snowden (forcing Bolivian plane with Bolivia’s president to land to search it) and armed Al Qaeda (including “white helmets” hoax) and staged all chemical attacks in Syria to remove its government.

Trump’s utter incompetence in handling Covid-19 created the human and economic catastrophe that will be called - Trump-virus; he certainly brought into government religious extremism and racism but without Trump virus mishandling he would have been reelected. The tension would be which party would cheat the best ;-))

The Russia-gate hoax and Ukraine-impeachment “entertainment” was concocted by Obama/Hillary/Biden/Pelosi, Schumer, etc. and their intelligence and DNC executives on behalf of their Wall Street and military industry donors, i.e., the imperial War party

The Democratic Party is a dictatorship of billionaire donors and arm and intelligence industry interests -- nothing that benefits the public is relevant to it, nor can we ever expect any honesty or transparency over vital issues.

Currently, by far the highest interest of incoming government and the DNC cabal is that Russia-gate immense hoax will NOT be exposed -- hence many IOU's to primary propagandists, including despicable Kamala Harris, Neera Tanden, Pete Buttigieg, etc. Sooo - Bhaskar -- could you state your position on the Russia-gate hoax and Ukraine impeachment "entertainment"? Many thanks

Simple test on who is “Left” versus “fake Left”:

- Defended publisher Assange

- Protested “Russia-gate” hoax and impeachment entertainment waste of time

- Demand corruption investigation (eg, Hunter’s laptops)

- Demand stop of sanctions against “godless” socialist countries

- (plus -- M4A, Trump virus $2K/mo, action on climate change, stop police brutality, (in)justice reform, etc.)

Who passes the criteria – TYT, Intercept, corp. media, Congress/Senate -- certainly NOT

Anything else to add? Who passes criteria? At least some of them....

Bhaskar Sunkara is someone I am not familiar with, however I like that he said, “One of the problems with our current debate is that it sets up a dichotomy between the two strategies, and I think that they should work hand in hand,” this is a great prospective to be proud of. What makes me excited about these interviews it’s discovering more voices and platforms :)

Reread this introduction -- in the end - half-baked and somewhat disappointing. Compare with Glenn Greenwald's Dec. 28 analysis (on sub-stack -- on authoritarianism):

“The hysterical Trump-as-despot script was all melodrama, a ploy for profits and ratings, and, most of all, a potent instrument to distract from the neoliberal ideology that gave rise to Trump in the first place by causing so much wreckage.

Positing Trump as a grand aberration from U.S. politics and as the prime author of America’s woes — rather than what he was: a perfectly predictable extension of U.S politics and a symptom of preexisting pathologies — enabled those who have so much blood and economic destruction on their hands not only to evade responsibility for what they did, but to rehabilitate themselves as the guardians of freedom and prosperity and, ultimately, catapult themselves back into power. As of January 20, that is exactly where they will reside.”

I know the show is in it’s infancy but can we get a real backdrop for the show soon?

A question: Shouldn't DSA and Bhaskar state that perhaps the worst scam in US history is neoliberals’ Russia-gate. They lost to a TV host. Instead of reflection, they latched onto a moronic conspiracy theory and stayed with it for now 5th year.

Now that the Trump nightmare has defeated himself – how many Dem congressman/senators will finally publicly state that

- The entire anti-Russian narrative and “Ukraine impeachment” were deliberate fabrications

- And request resolution of Biden-Hunter corruption (Ukraine, laptop, China)

Dems are unlikely to finally come clean that the entire anti-Russian narrative is a 4+ year deliberate fabrication -- while nothing was done for M4A, STOP sanctions, #3K/month to all, etc..

Trump was an incompetent amateur surrounded by religious extremists. The next “Trump” will be far more dangerous since corrupt Dem party is walking dead
