  • Existential threat

    Remember how everyone on the left told us Donald Trump wasn’t existential threat to our democracy and our way of life. Funny how the big tent has room for the likes of Adam Kinzinger Liz Cheney and no one says to them now that they are anti-Trump I know you say your anti-Trump but you voted with Trump over 90% of the time. But let a DSA candidate have one fundraising event with. Hasan Piker and you throw it in their face constantly in spite of being an excellent candidate. El-Sayed . I really d... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Will Trump's Postal Service Seize This Mail Bag?
Q: How should Democrats talk about foreign policy to the world?
Be concise and avoid overpromising; acknowledge limits while outlining a hopeful, credible path that emphasizes anti-war priorities and domestic strength.
Poll Me Twice, Shame On Me
Q: Nate, is it going to be Lucy and the football with the polls because or do these polls correct for what they got wrong in the primary?
Polls are historically unreliable in primaries, but in general elections they align better with outcomes; the team argues that while errors happen, indicators like generic ballot and turnout signals remain informative, though with substantial margins of error.
Total Eclipse of the Harp
Q: How did Josh Turek define his campaign message to appeal to both independents and moderate Republicans?
He emphasized cost-of-living concerns, healthcare, and pragmatic, bipartisan policy solutions, presenting himself as a commonsense prairie populist rather than a strict partisan, aiming to win over voters who are tired of partisan fights.
Donald J. Plump
Q: Your central argument is about the need for generational change, which has already worked in several Democratic primaries. Would you call yourself more moderate than Ed Markey?
I would not call myself more moderate; I see two progressives in this race, and while our policies align on many issues, I emphasize transformative changes like affordable housing and energy reform, with a focus on broader leadership rather than establishment continuity.
Bonus: Abdul El-Sayed Wins in Michigan feat. Bernie Sanders
Q: Senator Sanders, what makes Abdul El-Sayed's primary victory stand out in modern American politics?
Senator Sanders responds that Abdul's victory is extraordinary because he faced a massive outspent campaign and still won, defeating the entire Democratic establishment and a large amount of outside spending, which is highly unusual for a primary, indicating a powerful grassroots resonance and broad coalition-building.
