Of course, someone has to pipe up once an episode or so to compare the thing they’re talking about to Dark Souls or Bloodborne.

I'm interested, but I didn't know Felix was big on books. Especially William Gass.

Felix seems to have moved on to the Yakuza series, so I'm looking forward to an episode where he compares Joe Biden to Daigo Dojima

Episodes with Ryan Grimm guesting are always great. Some good stuff about I/P, but the meat of the episode is his new book. I have to agree with Felix that AOC's explanations of her motives and goals and feelings makes her come off worse, not better.

I've been thinking of this Matt quote more and more recently

quote:

And that's what these guys are, these guys that marched in Charlottesville, these are the people who are aware of the unspoken premise of this sort of zombie neoliberalism that we're living in, which is that we're coming to a point where there's gonna be ecological catastrophe, and that it's gonna require either massive redistribution of the ill-gotten gains of the first world, or genocide.

I think the sentence that follows that quote is something like "and these guys choose genocide."

Haven't read that Ryan Grim book, but he does seem to have a good explanation for what the gently caress is up with AOC

the story about Josh Gottheimer wearing a bulletproof vest to a bar is hilarious, looks like Grim wrote it up a couple of years ago here: https://theintercept.com/2021/08/24/reconciliation-infrastructure-gottheimer-democrats-unbreakable-nine/

What a loving freak this dude is, thinking a city councilor's bar hosting a representative's birthday party is dangerous enough for a bodyguard and a bulletproof vest.

She wants to be a consensus-builder. For example, Grim says this came up during the Iron Dome vote. Pelosi didn't actually order her how to vote; AOC was just very torn because she felt she couldn't get her Jewish constituents into the same room to build consensus if she voted "no".

And she does not understand that the leaders of the party will never let her in no matter what she does to placate them because she holds a base of power outside of their control (and she primaried one of their own to get there).

Yeah she sucks but on the other hand Bernie's attempt to take over the party failed, Nader's attempt to influence the party from the outside failed, every new party immediately falls apart at the seams etc. so no more or less of a failure than any other strategy.

Yeah, but her and Bernie's failures to realize they had some modicum of power outside the party structure makes their failure worse. They could have attempted to bring the party to heel a la Trump.
