These guys say it’s “not about right or left” but “power” every few months like it’s a meaningful statement but this is broadly what right-left means. Williamson says this, then (correctly!) lists off corp & military power as the problem which are core elements of…the US right
The real political divide in this country is not between Left and Right; that's an almost cartoonish version of our political reality. The real political divide is between the powerful and the powerless...

I get your point. It’s left versus right culturally more than politically. Better to have said Democrat versus Republican.

Replying to @marwilliamson
I suppose it depends on one’s definition of culture issues but Jesse Watters made his career off of inciting violence against abortion providers and homeless people in NYC so if anyone is powerful who targets the powerless it’s him

Especially true given there's nothing remotely "left" about the Democratic party

Educating people how "social wedge issues" are used to keep them politically loyal is probably the biggest bang per buck.

I like what you said in the segment, but I am disappointed you & other progressives won’t primary Biden. If for nothing else, to highlight issues like #MedicareForAll and try to get some concessions from him. If the folks w/ huge platforms like yourself won’t do it, who will? 🙏
Adam if you think only Republicans are pushing for corporate power and police/military funding I have an #NDAA to show you and some police budgets in big blue cities I would LOVE for you to see.

Most people easily understood what you were talking about.
