Contributing editor at The New Republic, Osita Nwanevu, and author of new book, The Right of the People: Democracy and the Case for a New American Founding, joins Briahna to discuss the state of US democracy, the failures of the Democratic Party as a resistance party, avenues for genuine resistance (e.g. packing the court, nixing the filibuster, DC statehood) that the Democrats have failed to avail themselves of, and whether Zohran Mamdani's victory changes anything about Briahna's cynicism about Democrats. Is the goal winning at any cost? Are there things more important than winning elections, like the way Mamdani changed public opinion on the right of Israel to exist as an apartheid state? Is the left making a mistake in over investing in electoral victories? Or are those who criticize the left for not actually wanting power right?
