We've been interviewing candidates running against Ritchie Torres in NY's 15th district for about a year now, and today we've collected the final infinity stone in the set. Jose Vega is perhaps best known for viral videos in which he confronts politicians and journalists about their commitment to war and lack of ideological courage, but now he's running to unseat the House's most unabashed Zionist Representative from the Bronx.
As the left considers the best strategy to unseat Torres, should they consider the young upstart who has no qualms being maximally adversarial to Democrats over the left-establisment pick Michael Blake, who we interviewed last week? Is running on the Democratic ballot line a strategic win given it granted him access to the debates?
What did he make of some subtle antipathy from Blake during last week's interview, and what is he hearing from Bronx residents on the ground? Also, what's the deal with Lyndon Larouche?
