Needs More Ross
Ross really makes this podcast. Without him it would be just another group shouting into the echo chamber. I find Ross’ perspectives incredibly well-reasoned and honest, attributes that are sorely lacking in today’s discourse. Editing to add that I really hope that Ross’ cohosts can avoid becoming terminally Trump-deranged post election. The Democrats lost many voters (myself included, a female and a minority) because of their sweeping and unfair generalizations. Michelle says that Trump mobilized such diverse voters as myself in a kind of xenophobic anger. I’m so sick of Democrats saying that it’s xenophobic to enforce the border. It comes across as dismissive and condescending, and I hope the Democrats continue to lose as long as they hold such attitudes. I’m not anti-immigrant or xenophobic, and to not want the kinds of people who rape women under boardwalks or shoot Jewish men minding their own business does not make me so. Continue to be out of touch to your own detriment.
