  • Great political analysis

    I’ve been a longtime listener of Gaslit nation and I have to say that it is one of the best political commentary podcasts out there. What I like about Andrea is that her commentary has evolved with our times and has a morally consistent approach to the news, be it on Ukraine or touchy subjects like Palestine and Israel. Been a fan from the start and will continue to stick around for years to come.

  • Promotes violent radicalism

    This is the absolute last thing we need right now. Unhinged hatred and glorification of political violence.

  • Not helpful

    Democrats are our only way of getting back to democracy. You aren’t helping by dogging them relentlessly. No party is perfect but one is Fascist.
