Democratic Socialism's Rise (feat. Reihan Salam)

As Zohran Mamdani's rise reshapes New York politics, is democratic socialism becoming the Democratic Party's new base? Host Charles Fain Lehman sits down with Reihan Salam, Judge Glock, and John Ketcham to dissect the political and cultural currents pushing the party left—from Instagram primaries and "free stuff" populism to the ideological split between AOC and the Ezra Klein crowd. Along the way, they dig into anti-institutionalism, social media as a news engine, and the strange allure of David Goggins.
