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.
30-40% of voters would react like you said, but that only makes them ~20% of the population. Although I share your feeling, I see far less people able and willing to sustain a violent struggle or do guerrilla tactics for the left as opposed to those on the right. Any revolution here would have to be propped up by the Chinese or Canada/Mexico. How the fuck that shakes out I have no idea.
