    This is why I’m having a hard time watching stuff like Majority Report these days. They fall for this shit hook line and sinker every time and Sam Seder’s response is always “thats stunning!” Any time a caller says the whole thing is bullshit and we’re wasting our time with Democrats, Sam says something like “well I guess I wasted my life then with this show” like, no, you keep learning and adapting, you’re not dead yet Sammy boy.

        Rip.

        Sometimes Jamey is cool on there but I like her better on Twitter. She can kinda be inarticulate and speaks really slowly on the show IMO.

          I get the impression that Jamie locks up anytime she starts speaking on the show because she's bracing for the moment where Sam shuts her up

      Sam seems incredibly genuine but i think he both suffers from much liberalism and pundit brain. I also think he serves a good purpose/resource to close the lib/radlib gap to leftist, Michael Brooks helped a lot (rip) but Jamie does a pretty awesome job when she can get a few words in. Sam is really smart and I'm definitely not gonna claim "he is hiding his power level" or something lame like that, but I do know he is very aware of who his audience is. He has been doing this for decades and still goes on MSNBC or whatever sometimes and I feel like he wouldn't say too much personally about some topics like who the national debt isn't real, but idk-- i really don't know what he believes actually.
