Progressive SELLOUTS? Ro Khanna on Squads "Performative" Debt Ceiling Vote

We're pushing part two of the Cedric Johnson interview to next week for a timely discussion with Representative Ro Khanna about whether the debt ceiling bill represents "win" for Democrats or a failure of elected progressives to fight. In the interview, which took places hours before last night's vote, Khanna answers whether the Democratic no votes were really performative, whether Biden's failure to raise the debt ceiling during last year's lame duck session disqualifies him from party leadership, and whether Khanna still stands by his decision to support Hakeem Jefferies as minority leader.

PS I'm a tour guide in SF and your interviews have informed me in ways that have shaped my narratives around contemporary American issues. If you come to the Bay area. Please be a guest on my tour. I'd love a review (constructive critique) from you. (not on tripadvisor) More for tips on communications to reach more folks.

I'm sick of hearing Ro Khanna's lies and obfuscation. He's a total scumbag. Every time the Dems need a whipping-boy to show out on independent media, he's there to make up bullshit and lie and sheepdog people into ANOTHER failed Democrat experiment. One of the worst people in congress. At least Republicans are honest about how badly they suck ass.

Bri, next time you have him on, can you ask him and other progressives to start pushing the president give east Palestine and other communities (like flint MI) suffering from bad environmental policies single payer health care? If I’m not mistaken, there’s something in Obamacare that allows the president to do that in times of crisis. I know they won’t tho lol I just want to hear a response to that.

Progressive progress: slow until overrich military and uninsured wealthy bank deposits need saving? Did I miss the interviews with RFK,JR. and Marianne Williamson, and who else can be encouraged to run? What about Alfred de Zayas? (not to run but for latest truthtelling) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqcVHfrIEZg

I'm glad I subscribed to this podcast. The interview was lively and clearly articulated in detail my disappointments with the Democratic Party. Why should I support Joe Biden again, was the main question, and I won't is my response. I'm against the U.S. role in the Ukraine war. Why not interview Jeffrey Sachs, he has spoken out against the U.S. role -- U.S. missiles in Poland, Romania and possibly Bulgaria, Turkey, pointed at Moscow, the coup of 2014 toppling the democratically elected president, the referendum in eastern Ukraine to secede, the ongoing bombing of eastern Ukraine by the Ukrainian government up to 2022. Biden does not deserve a free pass, and Ro Khanna appears to be giving him one. And economically the country needs a revolution, as Sanders said. Why not interview the economists who created RealTime Inequality? Why not interview Matthew Desmond, author of Poverty, by America? Why not Barbara Lee running for Senator?

I'd go for even more - and organizing their own debate with enough noise to demand media attention. It could make for some in-depth discussion of real issues like people's needs v. corporate/political profits.
