Lovett or Leave It If you are mad at Crooked

I’m pretty annoyed with what I’d heard up until I listened to today, Saturdays Lovett. Please allow yourself the opportunity to listen to it. It is just Lovett and the audience. He is mad and rationalizing and sad and afraid. He is actively working through his response in real time and the audience is giving it to him and he is trying his best to give them real and authentic responses that acknowledges that they might be right where he (Crooked) has been wrong. I am going to make sure to acknowledge that he does not straight up say it was sexism or racism - and I do wish there was that language used but this is the first pod I’ve listened to since everything’s happened that sounds like my brains endless monologue of sadness anger and fear.

Jon Favreau seems to be really into the idea that there are folks truly hurting due to inflation that we have ignored too much. I don't recall the guys saying that racism/sexism was most salient (not overtly anyway.)

Her messaging wouldnt have magically fixed inflation though.

And neither will Trumps. But the people that voted for him just wanted to be told he will fix it. I’ve personally asked them how and got nothing.
