This DESTROYS the Far Left | Destiny

Nine days after the midterms, Destiny talks to economist Noah Smith (Noahpinion) about the blue wave and what comes next. Noah argues the woke progressives and the campist far left are two different movements, compares the DSA's tactics to the communists in the Spanish Civil War, and says a positive, liberal pro-Americanism is how you beat them. Plus: AI as "the new Walter Cronkite", what MAGA turns into after Trump, and why he thinks America is back in 1978.
