Customer Reviews
Really A. Mitchell
You lost me when you chose Andrea Mitchell to talk about old people not being able to speak like they use to. I can't stand to listened to Andrea Michell on MCNBS. She constantly is looking for her words and thought until co-anchor moves it along by giving her the words she was looking for. Pausing mid sentence constantly for an uncomfortable length of time. She looks and sounds lost all the time on TV so before she gives President Biden advise to not run maybe she should consider retiring.
Ushering in fascism
I don’t know why corporate media and talking heads are so eager to usher in fascism. Your recent guests Charlie Sykes, Andrea Mitchell, Susan Glaser join nameless Democratic elites clamoring for President Biden to drop out of the race. Platforming this cannibalistic in-fighting has the potential to allow the christofascists to destroy our democracy. The Biden administration has had one success after another. President Biden is the incumbent and the Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election. If Talking Feds continues in this direction, attacking the leader of the Democratic Party, the ONLY candidate who has defeated Donald Trump in a presidential election, then I will be unsubscribing and not wasting anymore time listening to this podcast.
Unity, not opprotuinstic Susan Glasser
On July 15, Susan Glasser delivered the biggest durian rot downer attack on Biden that I’ve personally heard since all of this debate earthquake aftershocks began. But the corporate media has achieved one thing – and that’s in making Democrats like me completely start to feel utter distrust for anything they say. Just about every word she said was a direct gift to Trump. Thank you Susan: wonderful.
Sometimes reporters are incredibly stupid and out of touch with the public. The fact is this Biden is going to run against Trump. Presumably if he wins this will all be moot. If you loses, we will slide rather quickly into a fascist state. No Kamala Harris could possibly run, but if she does, it will fracture our unity and our party and we will lose in the year that Susan Glasser was born 1968. This very thing happened and I can guarantee you that if we break this ticket it'll happen again we all need to get behind this president and this administration and do our very very best to keep that ‘dictator on Day One’ Trump from taking office again. Susan Glasser will not help us.
Fellow Democrats, independence, and anti-Trumpers: we all need to stick together and unite and defeat, Trump, Trumpism, and MAGA Can you do that?
