TNG. We need to elect the next generation of leadership in Washington. The old guard isn’t getting it done.

My platform is overwhelmingly popular.

✅ Medicare-for-all
✅ Ban congressional stock trading
✅ Tax ultra-rich
✅ Huge investment in clean industry
✅ Build housing
✅ Stop funding genocides

But VCs like Garry Tan will call me an extremist because they can’t buy me.

Here’s a great interview with Saikat and he answers the question of how he’s different that Scott very clearly. One key difference is Scott is taking corporate PAC money and Saikat isn’t. If there’s an interview where Scott’s asked the inverse, please let me know! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

He’s racking up endorsements from the Machine so I don’t think he’s the one to meet the moment. We need someone who will challenge power. He also worked to get people fired for protesting Israel and authored a bill censoring teachers from telling the truth about that conflict. Saikat is much better!
