  • Stick to technology

    When they talk shop it’s great but when they start bringing in their alt-left opinions it’s gets unbearable to listen too. I’m sure it’s great for their woke echo chamber but for the rest huge turnoff. If we want to hear Democrat talking points we would turn on CNN or MSNBC. They way they talk about Elon you would think he took their lunch money and slept with their moms.
