The big question is whether or not the Democratic Party establishment will learn their lesson after being decimated by Donald Trump and the Republicans in the 2016 election. It’s still an open question, but it’s very clear that the only path forward for Democrats is to be more progressive. Thus, in this episode we discuss arguments from the likes of Noam Chomsky and Nina Turner and review their input as to how the party can be rebuilt. Additionally, we talk about the lack of introspection among establishment Democrats, and how Hillary Clinton is continuing to destroy the Party’s brand. All of these topics and more will be discussed. Enjoy!
