Purple state revolution? w/ Maurice Weeks
About this episode
The episode discusses the implications of recent primary results in Wisconsin and Michigan for left politics in the U.S. with guest Maurice Weeks.
In the Wisconsin primary last week the socialist candidate Francesca Hong was narrowly defeated by her more centrist opponent. It's a result that some argue shows the limits of left politics in swing states and outside of Democrat voting heartlands - in spite of the prior victory of Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan. To talk through both campaigns, and what they tell us about the viability of left politics in the United States, PTO is joined by Maurice Weeks - co-founder of the Action Center on Race and the Economy.
