In this video I discuss the following: 
✅ The California gubernatorial race featuring Gavin Newsom vs. John Cox under the top-two primary system.
✅ Critique of corporate neoliberal Democrats, anti-Trump campaigning as a substitute for policy, and avoiding real progressive challengers.
✅ The hypocrisy of a Democratic supermajority in the world's fifth-largest economy blocking single-payer healthcare and economic reform.
