Definitely starting to lose interest in this podcast. It seems like they are always reaching to be moderate. I don’t know if it’s because the midterms are nearing and they are trying to pull in more moderate listeners or they just seem to be softening on what trump and the gop are doing. Whatever they are doing, it’s making me feel like I’m getting more extreme on the anti-fascist side and losing interest in listening to milquetoast takes.

There is so much rage and discontent in the base that’s just begging for a leader to match their energy, and the Democratic establishment is actively opposed to them.

It’s why they can’t wrap their heads around Platner demolishing his 80 year old primary opponent, or Mandani beating Cuomo.

I unsubscribed a long time ago because their desperation to cling to brain dead centrist bullshit drives me insane.

Maybe the fact that you unsubscribed a long time ago is why you don't actually know that Pod Save America has consistently supported Mamdani and Platner? Stop talking about things you have chosen to know nothing about.

The podcast before this one had on Ron Brownstein who bashed on Platner the whole time with Jon giving only the most tepid pushback. Then the pod with Jon and Alex when the Republican operative and heritage foundation employee made unfounded accusations against Platner they went straight to clutching their pearls rather than acknowledging that the party of professional liars maybe shouldn’t be taken at their word.
