yea I can't be mad at the rest being poo poo because they clearly are that stupid and cynical, but he actually seems to understand he's hitched his wagon to bullshit and just doesn't bother to do anything.


yea basically his role is that every five episodes he kinda mumblingly dances around 'well you know guys maybe centrist incrementalism isn't actually a winning plan, especially against right wing populism that's promising everyone Big Rock Candy Mountain if they just help purge the filthy undesirables' and then they hoot and holler at him about how ACTUALLY if you would GO TO THE WEBSITE you'd see we have a very good plan so he shuts up.

Lovitt was a two time Hillary campaign survivor, I’m not really that surprised he’s so broken a human being by now

Watching Jon Favstar ask Virgil to go on their show, then actively avoid Virgil when he was in New York or when Virgil was in LA told me everything I needed to know about those cowards.

Dan Pf considered himself a socialist. However, he got roped into politics and considered it something to do to better himself on the way to being a white collar professional. This led to him believing things like "we need to counter fox news with... civility". His life story / character arc is literally all you need to know about the failures of Democratic politics and why Trump was able to get as far as he did. This episode discussed it with detail and passion and ruled for it. ven felix managed not to suck too much

I listened to the last Pod Save America (I have a much larger appetite for political podcasts than exist leftist podcasts).

They've fully bent the knee. They talked about how good Medicare for All is, how Abolish ICE is the right way to go and then how we might need to pack the court.

One of the benefits of your enemies being bloodless ghouls who believe in nothing is that they can be easily bullied into your corner.

Just my oblique way of stating that this thread's OP is outdated and lists the most recent best episode is #58.

I'd still like to see an updated list of top rated takes to share with others that are still new to Chapo.

This guy gets it

Politics is about projecting power, and using all the leverage you have at your disposal to make people do what you want them to. Historically, leftists have made the most progress when they have cowed unprincipled liberals into getting with their program

These people wouldn't be bending at the knee if it wasn't for the mass protest and upsurge in organization that is happening right now. The day comes that this pressure from below relents, they will 100 percent go back on their bullshit. Hopefully, what we will see instead is an escalation of these demands as time goes on

Hillary constantly said 'go to the website for more details' because A) she thought people wanted to read her 41 point plan to reform our plastics trade with Denmark and THAT would surely win over votes and B) she was so busy running entirely on pointing at Trump and going 'pft...THIS guy, am I right?' she didn't have time to make an actual case for herself. It's become a joke to say now to sum up the general 'I don't have time to explain my policy plans to you plebes, just look me up online' entitlement and poor campaigning.

After being thoroughly dragged the other week for asserting that there was some sort of important difference between Ron Paul fans and Trump Republicans, I think Peters is now just going out of his way to troll the left.

I am also a shameful PSA listener, but their main thing was having sizzling white house insider insights, which can be cool despite how you feel about the actual opinions. But now they're like 2 years out from the WH which doesn't resemble its former self in any way, so all they gots left is lukewarm takes. They still have the pull to get good guests tho, so i always at least see whos on.

Also why tf is Dershowitz going to hard on this, is it all just supporting the most pro-israel admin or is he actually broken?

This is what fascinates me most in existence: the peculiar necessity of imagining what is, in fact, real.


I remember being surprised that they invited Felix of all Chapos on to Lovett or Leave it, and then being pretty incredulous that they cravenly cut most of his riffs from the recorded podcast version of the show - like 5 min of Felix talking in an hour long episode. Why even have him on? It's not like Felix was an unknown quantity or anything.

Is there even an unedited version of that show floating around somewhere?

Nance is... very upsetting to me. Look at his profile. And his tweets. He's exactly what Chapo always talks about with the retarded Star Wars and Harry Potter references needing to be mixed in. Can't even read a book or watch a movie designed for an audience over the age of 12.
