I don't know if gravel fans think whining about their candidate not getting invited on a podcast makes him seem more or less likable to literally everyone else

marianne and yang were both good interviews because it revealed marianne to be a pretty boring earnest liberal and yang to be a dumb stemlord. will is right that the gravel campaign is elder abuse

I’m sure giving an anti-war candidate was just too much work after all

it's weird to see the gravel thread talk like not supporting him is being "irony poisoned." there's nothing sincere about the gravel campaign, it's the least earnest thing. i mean i'm sure those kids hearts are in the right place, and they are sincerely anti-imperialist, but if you are an adult who is sincerely anti-imperialist i don't think you want the message associated with rapping grandpa

there already is an antiwar / gently caress the system candidate in the debates. I have yet to hear someone even try to make the argument on how Gravel helps Bernie at all. all he would do is lower the uniqueness of Bernie for low info voters.

also it really seems like elder abuse

The original idea was that Gravel would somehow push Bernie to the left on foreign policy issues. This makes no sense and wouldn't work. Why would he suddenly get more anti-interventionist just because a meme candidate met the low standards to get onto the debate stage?

You're wrong. The original idea was that the teens thought they would get to go on Chapo. That was the entire basis of the Gravel campaign.

All of the chapo political interviews are just make-work for vergil to make him feel like he adds anything of value to the show. Id love to see the stats but im sure those interviews get like less than 80% of normal downloads

they need someone who can nail a guest's rear end to the wall with the same savagery they will eviscerate people who aren't recording with them, instead of practically giving these gimmick presidential candidates a free platform with Virgil unintentionally reprising his nebbish DigCast character. I was hoping that could be Matt, but the Marianne interview seemed to demonstrate that without some liquid courage in him his contributions would amount to almost an afterthought

Chapo did literally one adversarial interview ever, and it was so bad they almost didn't release it. I don't know why people are expecting them to "Nail Marianne's rear end to the wall" or whatever

Considering the Silicon Valley Dumbass was interviewed specifically to poke holes in his platform and peel off supporters there is far more practical reasons to interview Yang than Gravel, especially since it is now extremely clear that Gravel is not getting on the debate stage no matter what.

Honestly he seems earnest and smart in his own dumb way to me. He seems good at identifying problems but believes too much in his own bullshit

these posts are why the interviews are lame. yangs a loving venture capitalist who founded a company based on " training recent graduates and young professionals to work for startups in emerging cities" and williamson is a grifter tricking poor people into meditating away their cancer. giving them a space for people to go "well, they don't seem correct but gosh dang At Least They Stand For Something!!!!" is horseshit. who cares about gravel. just don't give them a platform, even if they have a bigger one already.

maybe rear end-nailing is a bit loaded, I think everyone who listened agreed the Reason interview sucked, but you have to know what I mean when I say that these primary ghouls should be exposed as clowns and oafs who have no business in politics leaving as little doubt as they do in regular episodes, so even the Yang Gang incels with skulls so thick they could stop anti-materiel rounds realize the hosts don't take this guy seriously and shut up or get defensive, instead of filling the replies to the video with "WOW Yang did great! King!!"

I understand why they interviewed Yang but I think there is a good discussion to be had about whether they accomplished what they wanted to with the interview.

the thing is that he can't really do that without bernie getting caught in the blast, because every statement from gravel is gonna be followed by the moderator asking "senator sanders, do you agree?"

Basically I think their position on gravel was explained the same way not running matt was, bernie has a real shot and they don't want to gently caress it up for a bit.

I think they did. he came off like a huge idiot with dumb plans that make no sense. especially towards the end when even virgil became impatient with the single mother question "oh she's gonna be fine, because after 18 years of child raising costs- boom! $1000":smuggo:
