What Party Gets You Closer to the American Dream?
Michigan’s primary on Tuesday between a progressive, Abdul El-Sayed, and an establishment candidate, Haley Stevens, mirrors battles that have been playing out across the country. Here’s the question: how left is too left?
Maurice Mitchell, National Director of the Working Families Party, joins us to talk about the electability of left-of-left candidates. Him and Angela have a healthy debate about the recent missteps of Seattle’s “far left” mayor Katie Wilson.
Join hosts Angela Rye and Bakari Sellers for episode 143 of Native Land Pod.

Many candidates for national office on the Republican side are not showing up to debates, and generally don’t seem to be making a big effort to get elected. What’s their play? Do they have something else in mind besides getting votes?? Y’all, we have to be TOO BIG TO RIG.
Mississippi’s attorney general, Lynn Fitch, and her office have cleared the Senatobia police of wrongdoing after one of their officers shot and killed a 1-year-old in a Walmart Parking lot last summer.
