The Punch Out is your daily anti-capitalist news hit. Everything you need to know in 15-to-20 minutes, delivered daily, Monday-Friday at 5pm. Host Eugene Puryear breaks down what's in the headlines, what's behind them and what's not there but should be. It's a mix of analysis and reportage that's all you need on your way home, or wherever you find yourself at 5pm ET.
How did the US end up with a two-party dictatorship? Are Trump and Biden really the only options? Does lesser evil voting work? If it’s meant to prevent the worst case scenario, then how come it didn’t prevent the genocide in Gaza? Is third party voting really as useless and fascist enabling as Democrats say?
To discuss this and more Rania Khalek was joined by BT’s Eugene Puryear.
This is just part of this episode. The full interview is available for Breakthrough News Members only. Become a member at https://www.Patreon.com/BreakthroughNews to access the full episode and other exclusive content.
For this special episode of The Punchout, we are republishing the one-hour Twitter Space that Eugene hosted live from Brazil on Monday morning. Eugene answers questions from BreakThrough's Rania Khalek and other BT followers about how Brazilians are responding to the first-round election results.

In our final Punch Out Haiti Dispatch, host Eugene Puryear reflects on his time in Haiti. Stay tuned to BreakThrough News for our video investigations.
Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators took to the streets on Constitution Day as part of massive ongoing anti-government protests in Haiti. Host Eugene Puryear brings you exclusive eyewitness reporting from the nation's capital, Port-au-Prince.
Haitian community leaders explicitly told our team that people in the US should "put pressure on Biden and Harris, get them to stop supporting dictator Moïse."
Host @EugenePuryear is on the ground in Haiti with the latest.
“I can say quite clearly, don’t come over” - These were Biden's shockingly blunt remarks directed at Haitians thinking of fleeing worsening conditions under the US-backed dictatorship in their country. Host Eugene Puryear has the latest from Haiti.
In our second dispatch from Haiti, host Eugene Puryear takes a look at the brutal effects of foreign-imposed neoliberalism and corrupt domestic capitalism on the country's working class.
Punch Out host Eugene Puryear is on the ground in Haiti. In his first dispatch, we take an in-depth look at the political context of the ongoing uprising in the country.
