The Realignment

I’ve been listening to the realignment since its debut and it has been interesting to follow Marshall’s intellectual journey. I come from the left, and over the last 2 years have become increasingly skeptical of the best the left has to offer. In that period, Marshall has supercharged that skepticism by bringing on such a robust array of different figures within the left policy and campaign/ advocacy spaces. It is clear now that the left is merely chasing the knee jerk populism that lives within trumps base, without any regard to the long term health of the society or economy. These clowns yearn for the collapse of a more meritocratic country so that iPad spinners who spend 9hrs a day on their phone feel more comfortable in society?? It’s bizarrely immature, self serving and incoherent. The Democratic Party Marshall and Ezra yearn for died when the social media era started, as it exposed the academic left for being such close bedfellows with the biggest drains on social productivity and progress. RIP to the meritocratic America that lead to us being the world superpower

Let your guests talk. I stopped listening half way through episode 593 due to only the host talking. May as well not even have guests on and make it a one man show. There’s nothing wrong with short, concise sentences.

Just listened to the ep where Nancy Scola was allegedly being interviewed. How many zyns did Marshall pop beforehand? She was fighting for her life trying to get a word in.

Very boring episode. Raihan used to be interesting now he is just telling silly stories.
