Part 3/8:
Echoing sentiments that have been brewing within the progressive community, Uygur articulately criticized the Democratic establishment for what he perceives as a history of incompetence. He mentioned how mainstream media and party leaders have consistently lied to the public about progress, often insisting on an unrealistic adherence to traditional methods and strategies that are now outdated. From complaints about the abandonment of key issues such as the $15 minimum wage to the inability to effectively campaign for progressive candidates, his critique was wide-ranging and direct.
