Doing The Dirty Break w/ Indianapolis City Council Member Jesse Brown

What happens when a Democratic Socialist acts like one after being elected as a Democrat? What does “Dirty Break” mean and look like in practice? What does it look like when socialists force the Democratic Party to choose - their donors, or the people? How does the Dirty Break strategy build working class consciousness and DSA?  B&R member Ella T interviews Indianapolis city council member and DSA/B&R caucus member Jesse Brown about being expelled from the Democratic caucus, and tells us exactly what happens when a socialist forces the Democrats to choose between the interests of the working people they represent, or the elite who fund their campaigns.   Thank you to Keith BB for music, James H for art, and Jordan B for audio editing!
