A Conversation With Saikat Chakrabarti, Candidate for Congress in San Francisco
A wide ranging conversation on housing, healthcare, climate, and the fight over what Democrats stand for next
In this conversation, I speak with Saikat Chakrabarti, a candidate for U.S. Congress in San Francisco in the seat long held by Nancy Pelosi. Saikat has spent the last decade working to push the Democratic Party beyond symbolism, from Bernie Sanders’ 2016 campaign, to launching Justice Democrats, running AOC’s first campaign, serving as her chief of staff, and helping write and launch the Green New Deal. We talk about why he entered this race early and why performative opposition is not enough in a moment of rising authoritarianism. Let’s Address This.

Shakrabarti is so right. The Dem Party needs a complete update. Everyone is so exhausted with the unhinged GOP VS the Go-Along-To-Get-Along Dems. I'm at my whit's end with them with few exceptions (AOC). Both parties now serve the same master--corporate money. They're intended to serve us.
Thanks for this interview, Qasim.
This is another great candidate being profiled so important to move ground up fighters with a vision for the future .✌️💪
