Making the Argument with Nick Freitas

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) say it’s just about housing and healthcare — so why did they just vote to replace the Constitution, abolish the Senate, and end policing as we know it? SPONSOR: Live Action This fall, Live Action has set a goal to help save 300 babies from abortion by reaching women considering abortion before they make that decision. About 1 in 5 women who see Live Action's content say it changes their mind, and on their $44.86 cost-per-life model, $44.86 can help save 1 baby, about $90 can help save 2, and $1,000 can help save 22. Live Action is also leading the push to defund Planned Parenthood.

For two years the answer to that accusation of being a socialist was that it was a smear — a fringe label invented by people who couldn’t win the argument. The polling released this week says otherwise, and it says it in the party’s own numbers, from the party’s own voters.So the question is no longer whether the base has moved. The question is what the people who run the Democratic Party do about it, when the voters who put them there have already made their choice — and the party has no mechanism to overrule them.

A woman strangles her three children — a five-year-old, a three-year-old, and an eight-month-old baby — with exercise bands in her basement. And right now, there is a national movement campaigning for her to walk free. Not “hoping she gets help.” Not “praying for the family.” Freeing her. Her name is Lindsay Clancy. The hashtags are #FreeLindsay and #FreeHer. And the question this case forces you to answer isn’t whether she’s guilty — she did it, and nobody disputes it — it’s why a society that would burn a father alive for the exact same crime is organizing to make a mother into a martyr. That answer has nothing to do with the law, and everything to do with how we’ve been trained to see women. Let me show you what’s actually happening in that courtroom.
