“Their last episode was so lecturing and sanctimonious toward Uncommitted voters (and just generally voters concerned about Gaza). But over the last year, they have been consistently anti War, calling for a ceasefire almost every episode, critiquing Biden’s deceptive language on the ceasefire, saying he was turning off Democrats. Now, it’s like they rethought every position and suddenly disagree with their past podcasts. It really turned me off. I know political types do see policies as a way to gain voters, not necessarily an end in themselves. But it was really shocking to see the about-face. It seems like they have been treating all these sad handwringing news stories as a way to gain popularity and win, but not as moral issues that affect how people think. Even their advice to Kamala Harris was phrased like she needs to perform empathy better, at least for now, and this will help her consolidate power. It was a big turnoff.”
