    I've only listened to one episode of this podcast and it featured the ex Chapo telling everyone to vote for over ten minutes, in a meandering and pithy tone. Over and over and over.

    You know how when you say a word too many times and it doesn't sound like a word anymore? That happened with me listening to him say "vote" that many times.

    Hard to listen to because the of power dynamics involved.

    The whole unspoken implication is that he was doing some kind of praiseworthy act by even appearing on her show.

    The he proceeded to take a paternalistic shocked tone, implying that any ideas she proposed were preposterous, while deliberately misunderstanding these ideas, as if he doesn't have a phd. Right wing debating in bad faith 101. Which is why it was counterproductive imo.

    Brie didn't help herself by, surprisingly, formulating her proposals quite badly. Not so badly that a phd could misunderstand them tho.

    He almost was forced to state his position a couple of times, which was something.

        It seems to get a lot of hate from all over. Dems, the left ©️, the right. I listen because Brie comes across as the most articulate and capable woman left of centre in the country tbh.
