The Squad and their supporters in the liberal online media world who’ve fallen in line behind Biden, Pelosi and Schumer would be happy if everyone forgot about #ForceTheVote. But you know who didn’t forget? The Freedom Caucus in the GOP, which is currently using their leverage to extract concessions in exchange for their Speaker vote in exactly the same way many progressives had hoped The Squad would do at this time two years ago. But they didn’t, and as a result they were exposed as go-along, get-along institutionalists who would never challenge the power centers of the Democratic Party. Jimmy and his guest, Useful Idiots host Aaron Maté, discuss the legacy of #ForceTheVote and what might have been accomplished had House progressives been willing to use their power to move a leftist political agenda forward.
