Ryan seems to hang quite a bit on the fact that he was a Green a quarter century ago. Maybe it would actually be worthwhile for BP to interview some of the 150+ Greens who hold local elected office across the United States today. Or have a discussion with Green Party members in Allegheny County in Pennsylvania who have stood in solidarity on picket lines with striking workers. Or Green Party members who are making the case to friends and neighbors in communities across the country about why it actually makes sense to vote for the only candidate who has centered Palestinian humanity and opposition to genocide who is on more than enough state ballots to reach 270. It's very frustrating to constantly watch Green Party members talked about in this abstract, dismissive tone without actually giving us an opportunity to speak for ourselves. If it was good enough for RFKJ voters, it's good enough for us, too.

Just wanted to give a huge shout out to @BreakingPoints for the amazing live election show last night! From Saagar making a late night appearance with a newborn at home to Ryan and Griffin on the ground in NYC with great coverage and some amazing interviews. Mac was the real unsung hero in the background making sure things worked as well as they did all while being yelled at by Krystal and the liveChat. But my favorite moment, and the one I got some good screen grabs of, was the moment when Lyle invaded the BP live show to pop some champagne with Krystal and celebrate the mini blue wave. Last night gave me some much needed hope for American politics. It felt so cool to be able to hear Zohran’s speech in real time.
BR4S!
It definitely won't break through with all that national elections, but there is a local election here in Colorado that I wanted to highlight for others.
Last year, Aurora City Council woman Danille Jurinsky started the lie that Tren de Aruaga took over parts of the city of Aurora. Sagaar and other immigration hawks took the story and ran, and to this day, Sagaar continues to elude to TdA taking over whole cities. (I have covered the original document and video Jurinsky and Co used to claim it was happening on my own podcast if anyone wants to know how obvious of a lie it was).
Well despite out raising her opponents by nearly 2x and 3x, it appears she is going to lose her seat, and the city council, which was a 7-3 GOP majority is about to flip to a 6-4 dem majority.
I wanted to highlight this because I think it is the strongest evidence that those who actually lived in the community never believed for a second believed the lies that Jurinsky and right wing immigration wawks peddled ...
