Texas Analysis 1 Star
Sep 23
There are 3 million new registered voters since Cruz’s narrow 2018 win. 3 million voters who have never voted for or against him. And by the way there are about 2 million more than 2020. The Texas electorate is growing too quickly for your speedy dismissal about Dem chances to make any real sense.
Downward Turn

There are no centrist or center left voices featured. And as the election approaches the coverage has leaned away from data into more of a group therapy session for the hosts. And the topic doesn’t seem to matter. Israel, debates, Trump… Conversations start off with a data point then slide into a warm bath of emotion.
“Call me mommy”? Gross and disappointing
6 days ago
The “Call Me Daddy” podcast has a huge following and a name that intends to show that women can be powerful in those spaces where men are traditionally heard, while making fun of those who buy into the patriarchy. Your comment “Call Me Mommy” showed how ignorant you are. I don’t listen to Call Me Daddy but I can at least respect that there are others who do. Grow up 538 and maybe bring back Nate.
Did we watch the same debate?
Oct 2
Here for data analysis, not fluffy opinions. Hosts spent this whole VP debate episode hyping up JD Vance’s performance and criticizing Walz’s, which boiled down to…smooth talking? No mention of Vance’s outburst over fact checking, talking down to moderators, or constant lying. When it came to substance and trustworthiness, Walz brought home a clear gold. This pod is for your educated but misinformed republican uncle.
