Episode 569 - ""Ritchie Torres Ain't Shit" (w/ Michael Blake)
About this episode
Candidate for NY's 15th congressional district, Michael Blake, hopes to unseat zionist incumbent Ritchie Torres and bring progressive, pro-Medicare for All, anti-genocide representation to the Bronx. But can Blake persuade the left that he's a genuinely left candidate worth throwing their support behind? Blake provides context for a past AIPAC speech and Israel visit, and answers tough questions about his theory of change: Is it possible to be a positive force fighting inside of a party committed to corporatism and the state of Israel?
