"Democratic Party Needs To Be Burned To The Ground," Shahid Buttar Challenges Speaker Nancy Pelosi

This is the full interview that I conducted with congressional candidate, civil rights activist, and constitutional lawyer Shahid Buttar.

Buttar is running against Nancy Pelosi this year for her seat in the House of Representatives and to represent San Francisco. In the 2020 general election, his campaign received around 81,000 votes, which is more votes than any challenger of Pelosi has ever received since she’s been in office.

Buttar is making the case that Pelosi has been a corporate Democrat, she helped facilitate Trump’s and Obama’s worst actions as presidents, and that, given the existential threat of the impending climate catastrophe and the current pandemic, Pelosi must be defeated in November.

I think the interview is interesting for anyone who wants to gain some insight into the problems with Nancy Pelosi’s policies, her leadership of the Democratic Party in the House, and why, as Shahid Buttar puts it, corporate corruption “continues to race our species off a climate cliff and into an authoritarian abyss.”
