A grassroots surge in the streets could be turning into real electoral pressure — and this episode breaks down how. In a condensed 3-minute edit of the original 23-minute conversation, hosts Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti sit down with Shyot Chakabat, a progressive challenger to Nancy Pelosi and former AOC chief of staff, to map street energy onto political power. You'll hear why massive, peaceful protests haven't yet matched the Tea Party’s funding infrastructure, Chakabat’s policy agenda (universal healthcare, universal childcare, large-scale industrial mobilization), a democratic approach to AI and H‑1B reform, and why U.S. aid to Israel has become a litmus test for who politicians serve. Clear takeaways on strategy, policy, and how to get involved. Listen now to get the key ideas in minutes.
