Her "faaack you" performance to Aaron Mate was the last straw with Ana for me. Aaron isn't above criticism, but her silly response to his burn on Cenk's ridiculous tweet just put her ego on display in such a way that it became impossible not to see in everything she does.
She also uses her friendship with Michael Brooks in the same way that white guys use their 'black friend' as proof that they aren't racist.
Yeah and the funny thing is Michael was extremely attuned to the effect of a person's public comments and would have very little patience for these kind of nitpicking rants in the context of a wider and very dangerous cultural phenomenon.
After Michael's death, i feel like a lot of left media personalities in his orbit got immediately worse because there was no one to keep them remotely honest. Kind of like how after Bernie's campaign ended a lot of people in his orbit cashed in on some grift immediately, like Nina Turner's Goldman Sachs sponsored podcast. Brianna Joy Grey gets bonus points for being in both camps and going hyper grift lol
YES, I have noticed exactly the same thing. As soon as he died I wondered if that would start to show itself and it totally has. And yeah it's a good comparison to the Bernie campaign dissolving, it started to create infighting in the same way just on a smaller scale.
The funny thing is out of everyone in his orbit, Michael's two crewmates on his show don't use his name that way, and yet they are following in his footsteps quite a bit. Nobody has that charisma though, nobody.

Yeah, the guys Left Reckoning do good work.
The Young Turks created the playbook for grifting off a Bernie campaign to relevance during his first run.
