Well done Yale & co.
It especially makes a huge difference that Fareed understands that politics happens in other countries than the US too. Center-left failure and populist-right success are international phenomena, seeing how it's happening elsewhere is crucial to separating the root causes from the accidental.

This conversion between Ezra and Fareed is exceptional.
Gets to the heart of this moment we are in, why democrats and the center left failed, and how to move ahead.
Notably - Fareed echoes what @radiofreetom.bsky.social says. Bored affluence leads to fascism much more than economic struggles.
Exit polls on VA had him getting close to 50% of Latino men although Iโm skeptical.
