This week, Briahna speaks to congressional candidate from Nevada's 1st district, Amy Vilela, about how she plans to address mounting frustrations from progressive voters about electoral politics. With so many progressive with legitimately powerful lived experiences in office, and do little progress, is that enough? Is Vilela willing to be genuinely adversarial to the Democratic party? If another #ForceTheVote scenario arose, would she withhold her vote for a must pass bill, or come out openly against Nancy Pelosi and House leadership? Briahna asked all this and more.

Why do all candidates have such poor answers when it comes to challenging power? I still haven’t heard a good answer from any candidates. Where is the disconnect? All these candidates seem to be operating like it’s 2016 still. We’ve seen A LOT unfold since then. We don’t need to be convinced on the issues! How are you going to do it? How?! That’s what people what answered. Thanks Brie, you’re the best

Gestures without communication with the constituency allows them the maximum plausible deniability

Brie is RELENTLESS and I love it!

How depressing

Brie, you're doing great work by talking to and disillusioning these people, but honestly your subscribers don't need to hear it.

Is this the Western Left ultimately? A parade of individuals that continue to repeat the same experiment over and over again while holding on to a false reality? That's the definition of insanity. If you wanna have a real conversation regarding White Supremacy, look no further. Here in America, the Western Left has all the answers. Cuba's revolution...gross...I have criticisms. Venezuela, gross...why are the still poor? Angola and Indonesia, how backwards and ignorant can a population be? You mean Indonesia had a massacre of Leftists that resulted in 2-3 million deaths... I guess they should have called up the CIA to make sure that the America was okay with them trying to achieve self-actualization and liberation before they had the audacity to fight for it on their own, without the approval of their own colonizers. If the Western Left continues to ignore the revolutions and gains made by the Socialist Global South countries, then we will remain a crippled and backward society that refuses to recognize and respect the societal gains valiantly achieved by what Western Elites classify as "barbarians." Not much has changed since England decided that Indians should starve, what's 30 million? Not much has changed since the settlers determined the indigenous population had no right to existence... what's 90 million natives who were murdered in the most brutal way? Not much has changed, since we shackled and brutalized the African peoples, since we engaged in the extermination of the Indigenous. My question to the Western Left is simple.... When have you made progress? When have you captured state power? When have you, influenced the mainstream? You sit there in a chrysalis, proclamationing that you have achieved metamorphosis and evolution, while the very peoples you claim ar le backward surpass you every hour of every day.

Very frustrating listening to another candidate without a real appreciation of what they are facing in a Democratic establishment absolutely committed to destroying the left. As much as I hate the guy, Trump understood he was running against the Republican party establishment as much as the Democrats. Until leftist candidates realize that they must put the Democratic leadership into the crosshairs and be bold in taking them on and calling them out by name, including the squad, they're not going to get meaningful support. But even in a win, they just can't be enveloped and absorbed by the establishment.

This lady has that Corporate American talking cadence of someone who is about to lay your entire division off or something. She kept telling us WHY she would be good, now HOW she would be good.

This 100%, Bernie was weak while Trump was strong. And we saw the outcome. There is no world where Trump is talking about his "good friend" Jeb Bush after the Republicans demolished his campaign.

Yadda yadda yadda...... That non answer says she's either naive or incompetent. "Pushing" doesn't mean anything and is a deflection so she can't be held responsible for her change of tactics. The one thing she did get right is that Nina Turner genuinely scares the halls of power, she is clearly ready for revolution or die trying and therefore the full weight of the establishment came down on her specially. It also tells me electoral politics is dead and we need to start a black Panthers approach and start a parallel government that feeds people, has doctors and community security instead of putting money into a clearly rigged system. Fascism is coming and only those structures will give us any chance of survival.

Stop sniveling and start fighting. I hate to break it to you, but progressive candidates are winning. The reason corporate Dem backers are pouring millions into these primaries is because they know that progressive Dem candidates can and do win these races and they are scared shitless about the growing power of the left wing of the party. Instead of browbeating every progressive Dem who doesn't pass your purity test, help progressive Dems primary corporate Dems so they have real numbers in Congress. Jessica Cisneros is down less than 200 votes to Henry Cuellar. If progressive leftists spent 2% of the time they have spent on calling out the Squad for this that and the other thing urging people to support Cisneros, she would have won and not have been so badly affected by last minute PAC money from the Linkdn founder.

How many times are you gonna fall for Lucy's scam, Charlie Brown? What proof is there that electing more Dems is the answer? How many Progressive Caucus members are there now? Oh right, since you can be in the Progressive Caucus AND a Blue Dog Dem (Shontel Brown), it's probably a lot. The Squad does exactly as they are told, even Cori Bush. I feel bad for these candidates, because I do think they are sincere, at least partly. But it is fairly obvious that SOMETHING happens when they're elected. Threats? Is it Mean Girl threats or Vague Threats like, "How are your parents/kids/pets/spouse? Have you spoken to them in the last hour? Would you like to?" If so, why is no one being explicit about who and how are they being threatened? It's not our job to support their career ambitions. The road to Hell is paved with Good Intentions, as witnessed every day by Bernie, AOC and the Squad becoming Warmongers so Ukraine can get $40B+, but Americans can't get baby formula or relief of ANY kind at all.

‘Well I’m not in Congress…” And you worn every be honey…Not if you keep squirming over what you would do if you WERE in Congress.
