Graham Platner undermined a movement with his recklessness. Centrists, Republicans are using this moment to dunk on the left, while the left itself is obsessing over "I Told you so"s. Emma Vigeland, who advocated tirelessly for Platner before the recent allegations, joins Francesca to explain why recent SA allegations against are unlike his scandals from before.

It's a tough conversation but an important one. What do we expect of progressive candidates and do we have the time to only elevate those who have been tested inside the party apparatus? Especially when the other side spawns unqualified weirdos like rabbitts.  

The two talk about how Jenny Racicot really represents a change in how women will no longer remain silent about powerful men, the gall of Graham Platner coming out with yet another apology video instead of choosing to just say nothing, and why he might have the biggest chance at a redemption arc now...just not one that involves the U.S. Senate.

Then, the war on Iran is back on, costing lives, the economy and likely Republicans in the midterms. Maybe that's why Trump is firing election commissioners? Emma and Francesca talk about why it's so critical to get Zionist warhawk Democrats like Chuck Schumer and Cory Booker out of office in order to finally extract our country from needless wars abroad.
