Progressive challenger Saikat Chakrabarti faced stone-faced stares and laughter on CNN when discussing Trump’s memo declaring war on political opponents. CNN shut down the conversation, but the NSPM-7 dam is breaking in the media. #NSPM7

I’m guessing he’s fairly new to politics. There are small miscalculations in how he presents his arguments that allow bootlickers of the ruling class to smile and move on. I would suggest he take a look at Sanders, Mamdani and AOC. Displaying anger as a PoC is always a risky business and men like Mamdani and Obama have had to demonstrate incredible levels of discipline and restraint to “hold court” so to speak. AOC does get very passionate at times and it has been used against her (being a women makes it even more challenging). Sanders is white and super old so anger from him is often instinctually perceived as legitimate as long as he doesn’t go completely off the deep end.
Lots of potential. Hope Saikat keeps at it.
