The top comments are all calling her a dumbass, especially since Dasha got vaxxed and her Covid was mild. Also some of these comments are really vicious and personal, not that Anna K dosen't fully deserve it since she is the one who cultivated this following and with all the shit she's talked in the past.

Like the old Chapo sub had a contentious relationship with the hosts but we were way more civil than this.

    Eh CTH itself has flirted with blaming the problems of the left on those pesky Ess Jay Dubyas and their intersectionality. They're closer to their fellow brooklyn do-nothing political infotainers than they are to what was the subreddit.

    Which is why they hated the sub, and why we'd always joke that :citations-needed: was the sub's official podcast.

      They’re closer to their fellow brooklyn do-nothing political infotainers than they are to what was the subreddit.

      They're electoralists and unionists at heart. They aren't particularly militant or revolutionary when push comes to shove.

      But to call them do-nothing infotainers is a big stretch. They're some of the most effective Leftist organizers and agitators in modern history. They sugar coat the medicine with comedy, but at the end of the day they're consistently delivering what Leftists craze - a call to action that any listener can immediately engage in.

      Lots of people bag on what that call involves - political canvasing, financial contributions, union drives - because its not radical enough. That's not do-nothing politics. It's democratic socialism.

      I love :citations-needed: as much as the next guy, but Adam does not call to action nearly as consistently as Will or Felix.
