Mamdani-mania! How to avoid another AOC situationship, with the Just Break Already caucus in the DSA
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
It's a full house at Spart Talk as Mansa is joined by Brianna, Edward and Jack from the Just Break Already (JBA) caucus in the DSA (Dem Socialists of America). We discuss what went down at the recent DSA convention at which Jack was a delegate, and the need to learn lessons from the AOC experience so that the left doesn't end up in another toxic situationship with the latest darling of the left, Zohran Mamdani. The JBA is putting forward a programme for conditional support to Mamdani - listen to find out what it is and why.
