Summary

Ravi kicks off today's episode by taking a critical look at the case of Brian Dorsey, a prisoner in Missouri facing the death penalty. Missouri Governor Mike Parson denied Dorsey’s clemency request this week, despite over 70 correctional officers supporting the plea. Ravi discusses how the case highlights important questions about the country’s sentencing system, including its fairness and ability to deter crime and rehabilitate prisoners. Next, Ravi talks to Arash Azizi about his recent article in The Atlantic titled “Too Much Purity Is Bad for the Left.” Arash argues that the left needs to become a more unified coalition to make a difference in politics and people’s lives. Then, Linda Jacobson from The 74 joins Ravi for a conversation about how Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) are changing the educational landscape. They dissect the growth of ESAs, the emergence of micro-schools, and how sufficient oversight of new learning models could support the future of education.

0:00.0	Welcome to The Lost Debate, a show for political eclectics.
0:03.3	I'm Robbie Gupta.
0:04.5	And today I've got two fascinating conversations
0:07.0	with two different experts.
0:08.8	In one conversation, I talked to a DSA member,
0:11.9	the Democratic Socialists of America,
0:13.5	who also happens to be a professor of history
0:15.3	at Clemson University, all about the impracticality
0:19.8	of the DSA and certain far-left groups.
0:24.0	And he kind of points the way out of love to where he thinks sort of socialists and other
0:28.3	far-left folks should go.
0:29.8	And I mentioned this because we had this podcast spent a lot of time talking about the center,
0:34.2	which is most of you, were the far right.
0:37.2	We make fun of the far left,
0:38.8	but I feel like we aren't always constructive about that criticism, so I want to be more constructive
0:43.4	because I love all you Americans, and I want everybody to be the most effective version of
0:49.4	themselves and engage in the most effective way possible. So that's a super interesting conversation.
0:56.1	And then we talked to a reporter at the 74,
0:58.9	which is a wonderful education outlet,
1:00.4	all about the ESA environment in Arizona.
1:03.0	And in that conversation,
1:05.3	we really round out the conversation by talking about
