I fully understand that AOC is not perfect but she's doing a hell of a lot more than the podcast grifters are.

    By demanding they withhold their vote for Pelosi? It is a targeted campaign to get them to do something.

    I agree that this is the case for many of the advocates for the move, like BJG, but Dore has made it a point that the lack of attention that the Squad gave to his show was a point of contention which is obviously distracting from the larger goal since M4A is not dependent on representatives attending a podcast lmao. And sure I get your point about the Warren comparison, but even if the floor vote went through it wouldve been politically killed by the mandatory stipulations of the PayGo, now that that problem has been dealt with I think it is the right time to Force the Vote (or maybe after Georgia elections to ensure that all political blowback falls on the Dems).

      Part of the movement is to build a left media system. So iono. The idea that ro kanna will go to his show multiple times and get called out, yet the squad won't is a bit interesting. The guy has a big platform and is now a bigger player in the movement. He talks like most of my blue collar family.

      His making it a point that they are disrespecting his viewers and his clout.
