Matt & Dave are back with a big one. We are joined by Kelsea Bond, who is running for city council in Atlanta. Kelsea explains how socialism can win in the South and the importance of being well-versed in a tradition. Then we are joined by two recently elected members of DSA National Political Committee, Ella Teevan (@EllaTeevan) and Cerena Ermitanio (@kasamangcerena) to talk about what is next for the largest socialist organization in the US.

David and Matt also talk about the return of the Texas democrats and the redistricting fight, and lessons from Bolivia's historic loss for the left, with MAS for the first time being out of government.
