The Democratic party needs to get rid of institutional corporate politicians taking big money and run on taxing the rich. Educate people on the top marginal tax rate we had from 1945 to 1963. Culture war issues are fine, but base campaigns on helping people. FDR type Democrats .

Come on you guys. You know why they couldn't get it done. It's because of Joe Manchin, paid by Charles Koch. And Mitch McConnell should've gotten rid of Trump.

Both parties grift. Republicans just put a shiny spin on it. “You too can be a billionaire if you vote for us”. Democrats are “nothing to see here and we”re so worried about poor people” Democrats admit fault and clean your house. If you don’t it’s just - we’re the weak party who also profits.

Mehdi is right, dems need to stop saying how bad it is and start to advertise an actual agenda!

Mehdi is one of the smartest people out there. It absolutely brings me joy to watch him crush MAGA idiots in real time.

Brilliant podcast, thank you to Jon and @mehdirhasan.bsky.social I found the whole Jubilee thing quite shocking, just from the snippets I've seen. Not sure I want to watch twenty people exhibit the worst of the US far-right, so I can't imagine how Mehdi felt to be there! 🫣
