This week's development in the "Democrats in Disarray" storyline comes from The Majority Report with Sam Seder in a video titled: Sam Debates Electoral Politics With A Jimmy Dore Fan

The show description says: "American Patriot and Marxist-Leninist Jackson Hinkle joins the Majority Report to debate Sam Seder regarding if the Squad progressives are sellouts for staying silent and giving President Joe Biden support. Sam Seder challenges Hinkles position of the media treating the Squad favorably as well as the opinion that the Squad should simply leverage their votes to capitalize on their negotiations with Biden to pass a progressive agenda swiftly through the Senate."

Hinkle highlights the difference between "establishment progressive" Democrats in Congress and a segment of the "anti-imperialist" left grassroots.

Seder begins: "I was told that you are a communist and you wanted to come on to debate: You said, I'd love to focus to the conversation on your support for The Squad. I personally believe the Squad and progressives in Congress are sellouts who have abandoned virtually every aspect of progressive principles over the past few years."

"I am a Marxist-Leninist anti-imperialist American patriot," clarified Jackson Hinkle.

Sam Seder made this point: "You've made your assessment that they're getting preferential treatment because they're not being roasted by the establishment? And then you say they're getting money from George Soros... In the form of giving it to the Sunrise movement? ... So you're contending that they sold out for over $2,700 from George Soros?"

"No, if you listen to anything I just said, I cited numerous examples where The Squad has been given preferential treatment. To just select that one, in particular, is disingenuous," Hinkle replied. "What I want to talk about, and what you seem to not want to talk about, is your continuing support for the Squad, who is going along with the Democratic establishment on all these votes they could be blocking to get concessions in return, and in some cases they are supporting anti-progressive measures and bills."

Another of the main points Hinkle tried to make is about the Squad's bona fides on anti-imperialist foreign policy:

JACKSON HINKLE: A 12% increase?

SAM SEDER: 12%, 11% increase, 13%.

JACKSON HINKLE: You don't have a problem with the State Department, who is leading coups across this world, who is launching hybrid warfare through the National Endowment for Democracy, like Venezuela like you said you had a problem and warmongering on Venezuela. You said you don't have a problem with an increase to the State Department when they could be getting concessions for progressive policies?

Another big topic was Hinkle asking Seder: "Did you criticize The Squad when AOC funneled $160,000 to DCCC corporate Democrats after promising not to?"

"First of all, she, I actually didn't," Sam Seder said. "I think there's value in doing that. I think what politicians should do, broadly speaking, is go in and try to get legislation that is positive to pass."

"Don't you also think that given that AOC specifically said she was not going to donate to them, do you think that's a problem that she went out and donated to them?" Hinkle followed up.

"I think people can take issue with that," Seder agreed. "I didn't spend enough time emphasizing it as you apparently wanted me to."

"So why did you not?" Hinkle asked. "You just told me you didn't talk about it a minute ago."

There was also this exchange where Seder appears to get the upper hand about Rep. Ilhan Omar taking money from George Soros:

The Extremely Online left and the Jimmy Dore-verse both seem to have really enjoyed the conversation:
