I just listened to PSA's interview with Clinton. I think a lot of people already talked about the most egregious points. But the thing that really bugged me was that she claimed that in 2008 she ran a campaign on the issues, unlike Bernie. And that she quit as soon as she lost. Unfortunately, none of the PSA guys pushed back (though you could see that Lovett was trying to). But yeah, the "try to get this photo of Obama in African garb - but call it Muslim garb - into as many news programs as possible" strategy was totally about the issues. As was the "I am not quitting because someone might decide to kill the first Black nomination winner" part.

Listening it definitely felt like Lovett was getting push back on asking any follow up questions that might expose any contradictions in Clinton's narrative. What's his personal politics like anyway? I know he's pushed for Kamela Harris to actually commit to single payer when she was being evasive on how she wanted to improve Heath care during her interview on Pod Save (and admitted he thought the Chapo guys were much funny than himself).

I'm actually curious if they are going to do another favorability poll on Hillary (since people seem to love doing those in contrast to Trump) since this tour seems like it's designed to piss off everyone that's not a die hard supporter and that book signing quote up thread seems like she's not even being very generous to them either.

He’s much better on his own show, which is very good when people like Joy Reid are not on it. He is also very good on PSA because he keeps the other well-to-do frat bros from hawking too hard. I stopped listening to PSA mid-week update because it is too much thirdwayism from inside the beltway.

We did a bachelor party to Gdańsk. Plane tickets round trip were $25. I was very happy with that. The American market is almost impossible to compete in.

Edit: when my wife and I fly home to Oklahoma at Christmas we use SAS which has a mix of government owners and private entities and it owns bones too. The worst part is switching to American or United.

He also had Tom Morello and Symone Sanders. I am not saying that he is great. He is better than the others, and you can clearly see that he is further left than the rest of the podcast, but knows that his audience and his TV writer friends would disown him if he went full on chapo mode. You could hear the discomfort in his audience when Morello started talking about democrats coddling corporations being responsible for this mess.

Lovett also had Sarah Silverman on and when he told her he was still a capitalist she told him it was okay and he could still be a rich rear end in a top hat, which I thought was funny. He's definitely the best of the PSA guys but Favreau is a full on Obama worshipper, including the centrism, and Vietor is the dude obsessed with norms nobody gives a poo poo about anymore, so it's an easy bar to clear.

It's the opposite of selling out. He's been incrementally moving left. From Clinton staffer to west wing writer to Obama staffer to keeping it 1600/PSA to the left of PSA to Lovett or Leave it. Yes, he is still pretty centrist. But if he keeps going like this he will soon be a guest on Chapo, then Stockton to Malone, then full on the Dig.

If it wasn't designed to be one, it is now. You might be able to get one more DNC speech out of Bill but even he's lost his fastball there and it's best that the Clinton's find a deep, dark hole/cell to spend the rest of their days in.

My personal favorite is when the PSA boys acknowledge the left's discontent and say "that's a conversation we can have, sure! But for right now..."

A more specific great moment was when Glenn Greenwald went on Vietor's show and completely schooled him on the most basic facts of the Snowden leak, such as the fact that the press broke the documents to the public rather than Snowden himself.

It's pretty much predicting doom and gloom for the party, nonsense posts about losing ground in the House next year, etc. If anything, events are showing the Democratic party as a whole is pretty responsive to its base. Not to be confused with loving naysayers who only moan rather than participate in any way other than maybe voting for Bernie (if they registered).

While I disagree with the idea that the Democrats are necessarily electorally doomed in the short term (specifically 2018 and 2020), it is entirely reasonable to feel "doom and gloom" regarding the ability of the mainstream party prior to Sanders' recent influence* to actually fix the massive problem causing millions of Americans to suffer. Democrats might be able to occasionally make temporary gains on the backs of Republican misgovernance, but that won't actually lead to giving people the help they need. This is why it is important that people continue to actively push the Democrats to the left (as Bernie has been doing).

*Even now it's just sort of ambiguous; it's good that people are feeling pressured to cosponsor/support the MfA bill, but it's likely it's largely due to the fact that it has no chance of passing in the near future. Getting their support on the record is still a good thing regardless, but I think it's too early to really claim we're "back on the right track."

yronic heroism posted:

I predicted Dems would start hopping on MFA fast like two months ago. Guess what happened. No one rushed to agree with this view because the mindset of this thread is basically accelerationist.

lol, what? How is it "accelerationist"? There are maybe 2 or 3 dumb people who have actively expressed that they would prefer Trump over Hillary, but that is clearly a minority view. Pessimism regarding the intentions and actions of Democratic politicians is entirely reasonable, and it doesn't cause any harm unless people are deciding not to vote in swing states as a result.
