This week on #RisingQs hosts Krystal Ball and Saagar Enjeti answer Rising fans' questions whether a youth-centric government works program would be successful, what Progressives can do better in 2024, and what government cabinet position they'd like to hold.

Well said, Saagar, regarding the social contract government has with society. THEY are in gross violation of this agreement.

Krystal's response to the second question is spot on. Much love for Bernie for bringing a progressive agenda to the mainstream, but it's time to move forward with a poor and working-class economic populist platform with no apologies and absolute ruthlessness towards corporate media and establishment Democrats and Republicans.

My favorite part of this lockdown, is that I’ve been finding myself agreeing with Krystal and Saagar almost everyday. For perspective, I’m a right leaning moderate who’s fiscally conservative and socially libertarian. These two are honest and principled, and even though I don’t agree with everything they have to say, I’m glad they do.

It's simple, form a separate party and call it the progressive party. LEAVE the democrats.

This the only sane progressive media outlet remained in US!

My notes:

- The government put us out of work, the government has the responsibility to put us back to work.

- 2024 candidates: Weaponize your movement, don't just bend at the knee like Bernie.

- Biden polling well, could Trump be a flash in the pan?

2024? Are we just ceding the ground to the de facto aristocracy for the next 4 years? Whether you look at it in terms of economics, geopolitics, or most importantly the environmental crisis, we don't have time to wait. It's not like we're talking about subtle differences in policy preferences. We're talking about things that are much deeper and more imminent than that.

Climate Change: (laughs hysterically)

Awww Sagaar. You are a man of my heart. I love that you would also try and deal with foreign policy as your #1 issue. ❤️

Y'all better vote for Trump if you want progressives to have a chance in 2024. A Biden presidency means we'll go back to having our blinders on just like during Obama's presidency. Not to mention the elites will make absolutely sure they are never opposed again.. we will be just like China.

Progressives could explain how they have already made America great. If you want to engineer a better mousetrap one has to be critical of the way mousetraps are made. It's great to love mousetraps, but that's not the point. If you want to build a better America one has to be critical of America. Cultural and economic stagnation was never a part of the nation's heritage. Western culture is dynamic. One has to fight to assert ideals, and if they are loved that's when there is promotion. Western culture is not nepotism. That's why I call myself Progressive, and that's why Progressives *accurately* love America.

Oh man, loved your answer to the last question, Saagar!

[Sprinterdude]

Love rising but had to share the fact that I got one of the rising mugs and it’s made in China. Couldn’t not point out irony that rich

[TahtahmesDiary]

We are writing 2020 off as a lost cause already, huh? 😂 I'm here for it! My input is: leadership. We need someone with bite who isn't afraid to not be everyone's friend. And our own party, that is clear. Thusly avoiding secret midnight phone calls that get everyone to drop out and endorse one person and bully us out of all policy issues just to show they can.

[Rabindra_]

Wow! so honest discussion. I hope you reach more viewers. Very few honest guys left.

[klitzkop]

We need more candidates in the progressive party. I the state of PA there are no progressives running. I wish there were.

[danielappell]

Actually businesses put people out of work. Your government mishandled a crisis, but that in and of itself did not put people out of work. Your country needs to radically re-structure its economy, accurately identifying who did what is critical for that effort.

[gabrielvelasquez]

Holy Cow! I can't believe my comment got on there the first time I did a question that is amazing!
Thank you both for providing such impactful answers! And thank you Risingfam!

[shadowstalker]

I love this show, you guys are great!
