Just tons of liberal types being mad at them for their takes on Ukraine, this is probably the most people have cared about the show in ages

I’ve listened to the show a few times since Super Tuesday. I was surprised recently, a couple months ago, when I was listening and one of them (Felix I think) said outright “we are communists.” I mean, I knew they were some flavor of leftist, obviously, but I can’t remember them ever being so blunt about it in any of the pre-2020 episodes I ever listened to. In fact I specifically remember one of their Iowa live shows where they were pretty coy about it, I think one of the hosts said something like “hey, I know some of our listeners lean Red, but solidarity, vote for Bernie.”
It was nice to hear them say it.
May I suggest giving Hell of Presidents and Hingpoints a listen? It's Matt is at his best, doing historical materialism.
Historical Matt-erialism

Felix has been very explicit about that lately. Somewhat jokingly, but serious about being communist, whenever some stupid harm reduction point comes up. Like "why the fuck do I care if the CIA is disrespected or NATO falls? I am literally a communist"
