Midterms Show Democratic Failure & Europe Scrambles to Subvert Iran Sanctions

 Anya Parampil breaks down results still trickling in following midterm elections on Tuesday, explaining why Democratic candidate for Governor or Georgia, Stacey Abrams, refuses to concede. Former Vice Presidential Candidate for the Party for Socialism and Liberation, Eugene Puryear, joins Anya to analyze the Democrat’s inability to excite their base as well as what the vote should tell Americans about the need to organize beyond two party politics. Later, in a special report, In Question producer Kei Pritsker joins host Anya Parampil to explain the purpose of SWIFT, the international financial messaging system which recently announced it will comply with US imposed sanctions on Iran.  Kei explains what alternatives to SWIFT are emerging as the international community, particularly Europe, scrambles to subvert the sanctions.
