He regularly highlighted Biden’s accomplishments. This is simply not true. (It feels like many of these commentators don’t watch the show so they don’t know.) There’s an authoritarian in the WH but y’all are bashing the guy who’s thoughtfully encouraging dems to fight or get out of the way.

You’re right! I like Ali and his show is good. He made me mad saying dems aren’t doing enough! I think most that care are working their asses off. I took his commentary personally.

I really resonated with his comments. I thought they were fair, thoughtful. Dems have been slow to fight. Their early cries for bipartisanship were shocking to me. My own Senator Schiff voted to confirm Rubio. The collective refusal to endorse Mamdani is problematic. Ali was spot in this context.

I’m sure. I never said they were doing everything right, but this is different. The dems I have faith in are out there. Also I apologized to Ali, we are good. I may have written before I should have. This is exactly what the media did to Kamala. Guess I’m still in shock! Trigger shock

We are good. Hearty debate is healthy

"Hearty debate" is truly subjective, beloved. You've blocked people for urging you to consider that you're also culpable for the current situation. Journalists aren't tastemakers. They report facts, not as they see them, but as they are. You editorialize quite a bit, so sit with it, man.

I do appreciate your engagement with your critics. Your exchanges with Ebony and Ariella gave me some hope that you care about their concerns. I believe you are conscientious. Please seek their input. Just...take care not to add to all the harms our side has to defend against.
