The mainstream media treated this effort as borderline sedition, with the New York Times characterizing the move as “playing right into Putin’s hands;” but Ari uses he’s deep procedural knowledge to explain that the real story here is that the left could be choosing to exercise real power, but are declining to do so. The pair discuss Force The Vote, Bernie and AOC’s Biden endorsement, and more.
