Foregone Illusion: Part II (w/ Kshama Sawant) - FULL VIDEO

In part two of this two part episode, Briahna and Kshama parse AOC's recent interview with David Sirota at The Lever and analyze her explanation for voting to crush the rail workers strike. They also continue their debate about what litmus test presidential candidates must pass to secure primary votes from progressives. Is Bernie the floor?

I agree with Kshama

Hey brie, do you think you could do an episode of bad fath on the case coming up to the supreme court about the indian child welfare act? I feel like it's a really under discussed front

This is the appropriate level of respect and graced approach Brie should've extended to RBN when they made the same point as Kshama is making here. Brie instead sucker punched left, to my extreme shock and disappointment.

Briahna - I really enjoy and look forward to hearing your perspective on your various shows and appearances. I am inspired by your strong stance to fight on behalf of everyday folks in many ways. I believe I have those same deep rooted stances as we are called to love others. I wish, like you and many of your viewer, we had more places to both share our voices and actually have a direct beneficial impact for the poor and powerless around the world. Also, I enjoy listening to Col MacGregor, Scott Ritter, Ray McGovern on the Judging Freedom youtube channel. I would love if you could interview them on occasion, as well as more Aaron Mate, Glenn Greenwald and others to talk about US Foreign policy activities, who's sole purpose, as I see it, is to ensure the US dollar is the sole superpower thru detestable acts of fear, escalations, deceit, weapons, spying, economic coercion, broken promises, enriching the super-rich, devastating everyday folks and more, in order to manage this slowly growing giant economic & collaborative movement, such as BRICS.

I agree with both of them - they are just coming from their own areas of influence. I get that for Kshama, as a representative of Socialist Alternative and Worker's Strike Back. appearing to support these weak kneed candidates would muddy the water of what her organizations are specifically fighting for. Bri, on the other hand, is looking at how the broader public might benefit by allowing the theatre to play out because of the way it can potentially expose the Dems for what they won't talk about. She has never suggested that people need to support these candidates - but instead to support their right to be there.

You can really not go wrong with such a statement. The only exception being her and her group's repeating of goofy State Dept. imperialist talking points on China and Iran.

Why did KS leave her position as council woman? She would be doing far more valuable work from the position of a council woman than as an ordinary campaigner. She was proving what can be done when you hold political office. Yet she leaves that position to roast people who will vote DP. At a presidential election SA is unlikely to cause a dint and neither will the GP. So people are stuck with advancing progressive causes inside the DP. That fight has not yet been won. However, some on the left want to abandon that fight because it's too hard / claim left will never win therefore not worth bothering with. Yet these same people have no alternatives to offer to funnel people into. So for now, people are stuck with the DP. The cost of living has not been addressed adequately by Biden, yet he wants to continue a war on two fronts against two nuclear powers as well as increase fossil emissions. How is this channel linking up with those movements instead of these pointless conversations with people like KS?

There is no avenue for change through the Democrat party. They have admitted, under oath, that they can choose their candidate at the convention, regardless of the result of the primary. So, even if a candidate somehow made it past the media censorship and smearing, past having no debates, and earned 99% of the primary vote, the Dems would STILL choose Biden or Kamala/Pete in a backroom meeting. It is its own sort of black pill to recognize that, regardless of whether or not M4A and a GND are "represented" in Democrat politics, they stand no chance of being passed by the Democrat party for at least a generation. Bernie was literally a once-in-a-lifetime candidate, and he didn't win. Twice. KS is correct - Bernie is the floor, not the ceiling. It's time to build something outside of duopoly politics.

What about the success of third party fusion with established parties. Isn't that a way forward?

Kshama is awesome!

Kshama’s super power and also her greatest weakness is how rigid and black-and-white thinking she is. On the one hand, I’m sure it’s a big part of her political victories, and is frankly even refreshing and admirable (even when simultaneously frustrating). On the other hand… it’s super frustrating when she doesn’t listen and just keeps arguing what she thinks is being said. Have heard her do it in prob every interview I’ve listened to.
