  • Longtime listener losing faith

    I’ve been a longtime listener and premium subscriber. I used to like Sarah and Beth’s approach to the news and much appreciated it to the bro political podcasts out there. And while I’ve appreciated their usually acknowledging their privilege it feels less and less so over time. Their opinions, they say, are nuanced, but sooooo often not incorporating or addressing their white women privilege. In the most recent episodes they seem so upset by the pushback white women receive and as a poc woman I... more

  • Long time listener

    I’ve been listening to Sarah and Beth since at least 2020, as well as a premium member. I absolutely adore and recommend this political podcast, for thoughtful discussions and being open to change. I just have to say, though, that Sarah feels not as genuine anymore. She’s flipped on her way of thought because it’s something that is holding the democrats back. She has said she’s felt this way all along, but how do we trust her opinion now? She’s also become too much of a know it all and doesn’t l... more

  • Trans shooter conversation

    Beth & Sarah’s treatment of trans school shooters was enlightened and compassionate- thank you! Beth’s emphasis on the need to be inclusive of all people was a relief to hear, particularly in schools and faith spaces.

  • Fiddling while Rome burns

    I’ve been listening for a few months since I got a Lemonada premium subscription but 8/12 has me unfollowing Pantsuit Politics. Does this podcast have extreme Pollyanna syndrome? Is it gaslighting? Maybe it’s just garden variety privilege. Whatever the reason, the excuses these ladies make about how things aren’t that bad are annoyingly tone deaf takes on what’s going on in our country. It’s true that two wrongs don’t make a right but saying that democrats shouldn’t fight back as hard as possibl... more
