  • Disappointed

    Disappointed by Tommy’s comments at the end of the Colin Kapernick interview. Amazon bothers him, but still shopping there every day. NFL does some bad things, but oh well. It struck me how similar these responses were to how the Democratic Party has responded to this second Trump administration. Change is going to require some sacrifice and discomfort, but here we have one of the top podcasts on the left openly acknowledging an unwillingness to really take a stand.

    Initially, I did not want to even bother to listen to this. Not interested in Fox News. Figured anybody that was on it, tagged as a “liberal” must be a big fraud. Glad I stuck with it. I was wrong. This woman made very interesting points, is obviously smart, and, I think, sincere. I don’t agree with everything she said, but she widened my perspective. Been listening to the pod since forever, but I don’t think I’ve ever reviewed it before. Great job, Tommy!

  • Left leaning republicans

    I used to love this podcast for forward thinking but they are just another train for what the democratic leadership wants and they do not resonate with a socialist Democrat and anyone who is, they will oppose you because they don’t see that working out. It is working out. They are out of touch, Zionist and support of any democratic candidate that does not rock the boat. Obama’s staff is not leading the future, they are diminishing it.

Choosin' Texas with Bobby Pulido
Q: What are the key factors making Texas a battleground this cycle?
The combination of a large Latino population, shifting suburban voters, and aggressive fund-raising dynamics on the Republican side, paired with a strong Democratic ground game and a willingness to run high-variance campaigns, creates a unique opportunity for Democrats in Texas.
Always Test Your Hopium
Q: Why did Colin Kaepernick choose to protest during the national anthem and how did the public react?
Kaepernick describes his protest as a stance against police violence and systemic oppression; he emphasizes it being bigger than football and notes the mixed and polarized reactions across the country, with support and backlash from different communities.
Beardos, Weirdos, and Donald Trump
Q: What makes Adam Hamilton a unique candidate for Kansas?
Hamilton discusses his background as a pastor, his history of bipartisan engagement, and his belief that Democratic and Republican values overlap in service to community, which he uses to appeal to Kansas voters across partisan lines.
Trump Bans Crooked Media
Q: How do you respond to criticisms about Democratic alignment and how you differ from Lawler?
She positioned herself as a defender of democratic values against Trump-aligned policies, highlighting her military service, independence from corporate money, and commitment to ending Citizens United influence in politics.
