Learning From Francesca Hong's Loss & Jared Moskowitz Sucks (ft. Oliver Larkin)

<p>Moderates cannot fail, they can only be failed... progressives on the other hand. The boys dive deep into Francesca Hong’s loss in the Wisconsin Democratic Gubernatorial Primary to moderate David Crowley. POLITICO thinks the progressive left has hit its ceiling but the situation surrounding Crowley&#39;s win is more complicated and offers useful lessons for a progressive movement that is expanding its electoral ambitions. Peggy Flanagan won her Senate Primary in Minnesota in a landslide, but you won&#39;t hear much about it from the people trying to punch left. Stay tuned to the end of the show where the boys interview Oliver Larkin! Larkin is a DSA backed candidate for Florida&#39;s 25th Congressional district, running against Jared Moskowitz – the AIPAC backed, do nothing, “DeSantis Democrat” incumbent.</p><p>Early access on Patreon:<a href="https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepod?fan_landing=true" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> </a><a href="https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepod" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepod</a></p><p>YouTube:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQ" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQ</a></p><p>Subscribe to second channel: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZA" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZA</a></p><p>TikTok:<a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@headintheoffice?lang=en" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> https://www.tiktok.com/@headintheoffice?lang=en</a></p><p>Instagram:<a href="https://www.instagram.com/headintheoffice/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> https://www.instagram.com/headintheoffice/</a></p><p>Twitter:<a href="https://twitter.com/headintheoffice" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> https://twitter.com/headintheoffice</a></p><p>Threads: <a href="https://www.threads.com/@headintheoffice" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.threads.com/@headintheoffice</a></p><p>Discord:<a href="https://discord.com/invite/vn7DHtCmPn" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer"> </a><a href="https://discord.gg/hito" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://discord.gg/hito</a> </p><p>Collab inquiries: <a href="mailto:headintheofficepod@gmail.com" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">headintheofficepod@gmail.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>(0:00) Moderates can never fail</p><p>(3:45) Intro</p><p>(9:22) ELECTION WATCH: Wisconsin</p><p>(40:45) ELECTION WATCH: Minnesota</p><p>(44:00) Fox News coverage of Abdul El-Sayed</p><p>(51:55) Interview with Oliver Larkin</p><p>(1:34:10) Ending</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Seen on this episode:</strong></p><p>Election watch: Wisconsin &amp; Minnesota - <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2026/08/12/dsa-progressive-francesca-hong-wisconsin-01035101" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.politico.com/news/2026/08/12/dsa-progressive-francesca-hong-wisconsin-01035101</a> </p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/08/11/us/elections/results-wisconsin-governor-primary.html" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/08/11/us/elections/results-wisconsin-governor-primary.html</a></p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/08/11/us/elections/results-minnesota-primary.html" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/08/11/us/elections/results-minnesota-primary.html</a></p><p><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/12/us/politics/crowley-hong-wisconsin-governor-primary-polls.html" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/12/us/politics/crowley-hong-wisconsin-governor-primary-polls.html</a></p><p><br></p>
