I dont think Amber meant it in any sort of like "harmful" or mean spirited way. I just dont think shes particularly educated on this issue. Which is fine, afaik shes still anti zionist and pro palestine from what I gather. But in that case she should really shut up on this issue.

I also remember another like about a year ago when Will interviewed a student protestor at the beginning and mentioned it on the main show and she said something like "I hope you didnt pick a weirdo". Kind of a strange thing to say but whatever.

In what way? People say Chapo hasnt adapted to the current zeitgeist but if anything, I feel like they dive too much in trying to adapt to a more current style that theyre not really comfortable with.

Honestly at times I wish they would do more media reviews and such. Theres not really much humor to be found in the current political environment. And they really just arent equipped without Matt to dive into anything deeper. Which is generally what most leftists pods are up to these days. And when Felix tries to offer up some real deep take by stating that "all of modern american politics is a reaction and counter reaction to 2020" for the 5 millionth time, it comes off kinda cringe worthy. Like yeah thats how history works lmao. Its a chain of events that respond to each other. Or when Will tries to interview guests and doesnt really have any questions beyond the surface level.

Its not so much that theyre stuck in 2016. Its moreso akin to Motley Crue trying to do grunge in the 90s when they should have just stuck to playing their old hits for the crowd that they had.

I feel the same way in a lot of ways. Just when I feel like checking out, they def do give a little crumb that keeps me coming back for a little bit. Even if its just having Matt on or Amber being on during a good day.

Wait has it gotten that bad? What did she say?

Amber gives "college prof who fucks her students" vibes at times. Ngl

I was just about to say, other than not wanting to split earnings down further I dont really know why they havent tagged in another host. It would save felix and will a lot more headache on having to prepare material and spice the show up. They could still keep Matt and Amber on even in their current status.

The only thing I can think of would be the compensation. But Im sure something could be figured out if they really wanted to.

Tbh I dont really care for the news/interview focused eps as much. Theyre just not particularly as informative or entertaining as citations needed is in this "genre" and I dont really think anyone ever really listened to Chapo to become more "informed" really. That said, they do have more "mainstream" reach than any other socialist pod out there so maybe its still for the best.

Adams voters definitely go to Cuomo so its closer to 47/38 split and Cuomo has an advantage over undecideds due to name recognition. If we're generous and split undecideds down the middle its still a 55/45 split for Cuomo.

Mamdani has a chance to be sure but its s slim one. He would have to win at least 80% of undecideds

Biden is just a hack who has no real convictions outside of that of his handlers. These people have no clue what the real world is like; only a withering husk built by pop culture, and nonsensical, conflicting data as well as some concessions to the billionaire class.

If you forced these people to work a real job for a day, they would probably explode.

I remenber the day before south carolina and CNN/MSNBC was doing some fuckery in telling everyone that Bernie had been helped by Russia or whatever tf And i encountered some angry boomers.

The silver lining in all of this is that, if anything, at least the resistance libs are completely defeated. Blue maga disengaging from politics altogether does potwntially create an opportunity in 2028.

I went to iowa for bernie, held a whole shit load of phone banks in chicago for him during the early primaries, and even canvassed during covid right up until he dropped.

Maybe Im a silly doomer but I really do feel like bernie was a once in a lifetime opportunity to get anything remotely different. AOC would be an "obama" type at best who promises a lot and delivers nothing.

White liberals only find POC useful when they make broadway musicals that glorify slaveowners.

They literally dropped all the charges against the so called "threat to democracy".

Really shows you who they are... Willing to throw marginalized people under the bus as soon as its convenient and willing to let someone they labeled as "hitler" do whatever they want for the sake of "preserving the stability of our institutions".

Terminally online fs

Plus I think socialized medicine and healthcare would help a lot of problems fix themselves. Lets be real, a lot of these people are just sick in the head qnd desperately need help they probably cant afford. Im sure some of them would refuse but just having free access to that help would definitely have a positive long term impact.

I definitely agree to some extent. Theres always people youll judt never save.

Kamala.

Only because if Trump represents the culmination of problems we have to deal with under capitalism; Kamala represents putting those problems off and not dealing with them as long as possible.

Nailed the logo for both parties anyways

Its sad that honestly I dont think its out of your average cops wheelhouse to gun down a 65 year old lib wearing a pussy hat for no reason.
