In this episode of the Systems & Power Podcast, Moses Parente sits down with recent law school graduate and political commentator Joe Silverstein.

They discuss Joe’s journey from combat sports into politics and media, the changing Democratic Party, AOC and the DSA’s growing influence, and how affordability is reshaping politics in New York City.

The conversation also explores social media’s influence on campaigns, immigration and sanctuary-city policies, political hypocrisy, ideological pressure in academia, and the importance of engaging in local politics—even when people strongly disagree.
