13:55Now PlayingThe 2018 midterm election season has been roiled by the internal divisions between the Democratic Party’s growing progressive base and the more conservative party establishment. In New York City, this division came to a head with the most shocking upset of the election season so far, when 28yearold Alexandria OcasioCortez handily defeated 10term incumbent Representative Joe Crowley, the fourthranking Democrat in the House. OcasioCortez ran a progressive grassroots campaign as a Democratic Socialist advocating for “Medicare for All” and the abolition of ICE. For more on her victory and what it means for the Democratic Party, we speak with Noam Chomsky, worldrenowned political dissident, linguist and author.
