The Cost of Radical Progressive Policies

Mike tackles the growing influence of Democratic Socialists within the Democratic Party, questioning how progressive policies and candidates are reshaping the party ahead of the midterm elections. He examines proposals ranging from government-run grocery stores to higher taxes on wealthy property owners, explores the political fallout among longtime Democrats, and discusses why some former allies are now voicing concerns about the party’s direction. Mike also asks listeners whether the current progressive movement represents a temporary shift or a lasting transformation of American politics, and what the stakes could be for voters in the months ahead.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
