LOVE THE BULWARK
Hey Sarah, your work is essential to tge survival of American democracy.
However when you don't even mention that your focus group participants are using talking points to thinly veil their racism, misogyny, and anti-intellectualism, it is a disservice to your loyal audience.
Just like every MSNBC show, journalist, or expert refuse to call out the racism, misogyny and anti-intellectualism on their side of the cultural war of extremes.
We need ALL the facts and objective analysis or this is merely an exercise of both sides pretending that their tribes are good people.
They are NOT!
Always trust Sarah’s assessments
Sarah has always stated that the American people are basically good and that she believes in the American people. And I agree with her. What we need now is to understand each other and respect all perspectives. How do we do that? This is a really good start.
Love her analysis on what the political climate is and why..
Sarah gives me hope that Republicans can make a difference.. although I am what is considered middle right, I have a hard time understanding where the right has gone the last 10 years. Sarah helps me to understand it a bit better
Good while it lasted
Not too thrilled with the paywall ‘pitch’. And, bye for now.
