From the guest list, the show looked like it was created to have a space where left commentators of various sorts would come on and hash out ideological differences as the US left is in the wilderness post-Bernie. It would be interesting, I thought, to have a show where an ultra like Sean KB from The Antifada could explain Marxist theory on a panel with social democrats and have some kind of discussion.
It turns out that its basically just a radlib version of The Five from Fox News, where they just take turns kicking the tires on the days news.
Does anyone actually want a show like this? It seems like its trying to fill a market that doesn't exist - or maybe existed a few years ago and doesn't today. When I look around, I don't think to myself, "You know who has some understanding of the political struggle we face in this moment? This DSA-backed state legislator from NYC."
Listening to it was deeply unsettling. I don't recommend it.
so “maybe we can stop s4p libs from falling down the apathyhole”? i think i can get behind that
By what? Telling them there is still hope if they just vote 3 justice democrats into Congress every cycle for the next 80 years?
Yes.
how else will i get a job as a campaign advisor

sure; guess we'll see how this pod shakes out & whether virgil can keep it sorta-on-track. wonder when matt will tweet some takes on it.
Maybe he'll bite on a stream. I'm sure there's friction between them with Matt very clearly stating that Bernie's campaign was a failure and the strategy of reforming the democratic party is dead
matt retweeted someone dunking hard on virgil, there was a post on here about it. guess virgil's a lost cause
Didn't he fav it rather than rt?
fuck you're right i need to post harder
