Berniebros negging Biden

“I have read and loved Brian Beutler for years going back to his days at The New Republic. He’s a top political mind. But like many people in the Democratic coalition he’s of late he’s become a captive of the anklebiting far-left whose calling appears to be tearing down the Democratic Party at every opportunity, presumably in the hopes that they themselves will rise to power from the ashes.
The first guest on season 2 of Rubicon, which attempts to articulate the landscape and stakes of the Biden presidency, is Bernie Sanders’s former campaign manager Faiz Shakir. While Shakir is nowhere near as vitriolic and hateful as the rest of Bernie’s 2020 seniors staff (Sirota, Gray, Wong, etc) he nevertheless damns Biden with faint praise, sneeringly critiques the stances and comportment that won him the presidency, and spends his time essentially arguing for a Bernie Sanders shadow presidency - while predictably spit-shining his old boss’s name throughout.
There are a great many podcasts one can go to listen to for this kind of content. Bad Faith, Useful Idiots, and Chapo Trap House come to mind. I would never have thought that a Brian Beutler podcast about a Democratic presidency would bear so much resemblance to the alternative media of the dirtbag left.
Two stars on the basis of Brian’s reputation and on the hope that it improves.
EDIT:
It has not improved. It’s clear that Brian views this podcast as a vehicle to neg Joe Biden and the Democratic Party, apparently out of a misguided belief that histrionic negativity and performed disappointment will serve to “pressure” the administration toward his policy preferences. You’re better off listening to the Bad Faith podcast if that’s what you’re after.”

“Seriously lying to the listener. What a partisan hack. Obama qualified for impeachment ten times more than Trump. Don’t listen.”

“This is a great show that helps inform us about the impeachment process, what the procedural stakes are, and why political actors might be making their decisions. What a sorry state of affairs for the U.S, former beacon of democracy and fairness.”

“Chief Twit and Dupe of right wing propaganda network being used similarly to Trump. Self focused wealthy narcissists are the best tool for misinformation.”
