Pretty clear to me that Searchlight, like The Argument are a bunch of centrist dems who are fine with taking billionaire cash to shit on progressives and 95% of their articles will start there.
Used to wonder how they got so many interviews with dem leaders till i realized it's bc they don't ask any tough questions (i.e. Gaza) and just provide a platform for mainstream, corporate centrist dems who have tanked the party to monologue
lol the pod save guys let tim miller go because during the first trump administration his opposition research firm defended zuckerberg/facebook by attacking critics as "soros funded"
Posted this elsewhere, but acting like the party of Nixon and Reagan (two open racists who staffed their administration with like-minded people) weren't racist is just wishcasting.
Always reminded that @mattyglesias.bsky.social co-created a podcast with this dumb, right-wing hack if anyone needs even more proof that his entire schtick is to get rich shitting on the left
Amanda are you really trying to claim that a bunch of people supporting the party of Nixon and Reagan (two open racists who staffed their administrations with the same) weren't motivated at all by racism? This party?
For those tempted to say Young Republicans have always been this way, they really have not. When I worked on campus and did bipartisan college events after, they were very much not like this.
That’s why groups like YCT and eventually TPUSA formed — because Young Republicans weren’t radical enough.
EXCLUSIVE: Thousands of leaked messages show leaders of Young Republican groups joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape in a private Telegram chat.

For me it's more frustration that those of us on the left have been right about these nazi losers for a decade, while mainstream media and politicians have failed us by denying it and telling us both that we need to work with them
These takes are all happening because he was just on red scare and people who hate the left like to trot them out as leftists as an attack since they're dumb bitches
I used to like adam pally till i heard him on nicole byers pod a few years ago with gabrus talk about how he just gets in to ubers and starts smoking weed because he's a smug, entitled asshole who thinks he better than everyone. Legit psycho behavior.
Says something about @mattyglesias.bsky.social and how all mainstream media is ultimately conservative that the writer here is his former podcast co-creator
21 minutes in and Obama just talked about how someone has politics you disagree with but you see them "hug their kid at a soccer game" and you realize "they're alright" lol
Bari's popularity is astroturfed with billionaire dollars, and the only reason she got $150 million is bc her entire schtick is comforting the powerful, reinforcing the corporate status quo and shitting on the left. Acting like it's "impressive" is giving in to right-wing talking point.
