As opposed to being 99% lib

    Lmao. I like Emma but her parents are pretty sus. Emma I think will end up being like intercept journalists - great journalist, mediocre commentator at best.

    Edit: but yeah. Nomi is a blatant spook.

      What's up with Emma's parents?

      Also... are you on the TMBS Discord or is that not you?

        Why do people like Emma so much(other than just parasocial girl next door GF stuff) when she can't riff that well and doesn't have any particularly strong areas of expertise like Michael was with int'l socialism? Her well-rounded political knowledge is very lib, and less detailed than what Sam brings to the show.

        I haven't watched barely a minute since the death of Michael, usually just to check out the context of some Jamie clips I came across, and Emma is never really adding much to the show save for getting Sam to dab.

          Idk about her on the majority report, but what she did at TYT and on her own was quite good, even if it was lib shit. She did a lot of reporting on interesting things, which is a lot more valuable than being a majority report cohost tbh

            It could be an interesting direction for TMR to take if she does field reporting if/when the pandemic ends.

            She's gonna need time to grow into that commentator role, that just is what it is.

            Plus, everyone sees her as Michael's replacement for obvious reasons, but Michael is simply not replaceable, and that's hard to accept.

          Probably because she goes with Sam's vibe that women on the show should be pretty and not push back on his bullshit

            It is coming from their fans reaction to literally the last time I was on their sub and saw MR fans talk about Emma:

            https://old.reddit.com/r/TheMajorityReport/comments/l5lwlo/remember_to_dab_on_the_haters/gkww8zk/

            🤓 such a goddamned cute/hilarious reaction right there

            https://old.reddit.com/r/TheMajorityReport/comments/l6kqb3/dueling_dabs/gl2xagv/

            Crush ended with Jamie. Now Emma is my best crush.

            Emma's the drinking buddy, Jamie's the stoner friend.

            https://old.reddit.com/r/TheMajorityReport/comments/l6kqb3/dueling_dabs/gl5sanc/

            IDK why, but this is legitimately the funniest thing I've seen all day! I mean, I love Emma (pretty sure I'm IN love with her), so I could be biased, but I thought that was great.

        Here’s more info on Vigeland. I take it with a grain of salt because we don’t choose who our parents are, and though they influence us to some degree and shape our worldview, I have had takes from time to time that are shaped by the way I was raised even well into adulthood. But it’s still a bit sus, when you consider nomi is a literal spook, and both came to MR via TYT.

        Now, I do think you all on the MR discord should be inviting people here. I must know this congressbaseballfan.

        Edit: if they join here their name should be congresssoftballfan. We are both wrong. They were playing softball not baseball. As a lesbian, I should have recognized this. I did think of changing to that when I joined here, but thought I’d use the same username as I had the last few ywars on the sub

              Yeah, the author is questionable, and a tulsi-cel,

              Are they?

              That makes sense, given how the only part that really made me pause was them suddenly going 'and the most progressives such as Bernie and Tulsi Gabbard got no support!'

              I hadn't looked at the date of the piece so I just assumed they were naive and it was pre-everyone realising how undeniably chuddy tulsi was.

                They were putting her on the same level as sanders in terms of her stature and saying that Emma was wrong for saying tulsi was not pro lgbt. That hasn’t aged well, to say the least. Haha
