I was sleeping on this podcast till now because I'm lazy. But yesterday I decided to go through the episodes/clips on YouTube and wow they are good! I've no idea how they manage to get so many awesome guests - Richard Wolff, Zizek, Chomsky, then you've got Nina Turner and Cornel West, there's Boots Riley, it's just incredible. And all of them are so honest and upfront and open when talking. I've never seen Wolff this animated and lively when talking to someone else or even on his own show! It's incredible.
EDIT - What the fuck happened in the comments?
the same reason you drop the "dem" but still make a show that basically still centers around the Democratic party.

I wouldn't go that far. It's just old fashioned petite bourgeois reaction. Or just a mind limited by small horizons.
You’re most likely correct. I’ll add that her time working in the politics obviously has corrupted her. If she hasn’t worked in the capitol itself, she has at the very least imagined herself being there. So maybe some projection? I’m not sure the right term here.
