“Nate is a great commentator: he is rigorous, analytical, and is excellent at explicitly recognizing his own biases. This level of rigor is what makes him stand out, and probably why he was not so successful on mainstream outlets.
Maria, on the other hand, more often than not parrots widely held beliefs (like the proposition that women suffer a penalty when running for office), but not engaging in any kind of analytical reasoning.
The September 25th show was the worst. Maria, at length, goes on about how Trump is a con artist, a loathsome man, and his voters are either a victim of his con or are cynics in a discussion about whether voters vote in their self interest.
I don’t necessarily disagree with what Maria has to say, but this is not analysis. It’s just a low quality regurgitation Village opinions I can get from most political commentators.
I urge Nate to search for a better co-host that builds on and compliments what he brings to the table.”
