Especially from the more center and liberal listeners there’s a sense that she’s just not great. Today’s podcast with Tim finally let me put my finger on what it is. I don’t like about her coverage.
She still has a very Fox News Republican cartoon understanding of what the left is.
I understand that she cleaned it up a little bit, but her comment about free lunch liberals is what made it clear to me. The attitude that there’s this number of people on the left who just want stuff for free is something your dumbest uncle who thinks Fox News isn’t far right enough believes.
She gives off this attitude that she thinks the left is dominated by people who hate Israel and is so relieved that the Democratic nominee isn’t one of them. As if she banged her head on a brick wall for 40 years and missed the fact that Democrats have always been supportive of Israel.
That’s the issue. That she still after all this time being part of the anti-Trump pro-democracy coalition doesn’t fundamentally understand the people in that coalition.

Well remember that the bulwark is center left to center right. I would say AB is fiscally conservative and socially liberal. I’ve never considered her a Democrat or a progressive. In her defense, while I don’t agree with her she has cogent arguments for her position.
I’m very liberal. She doesn’t bother me at all. I’m capable of listening to someone who I disagree with but who might still have important insight.
Yeah, calling “intersectionality” stupid was weird. Would it be a bad idea to mention it during a convention speech? Yeah. So would a ton of academic words out of context. Is it a stupid idea to think about how people’s unique identities affect the way that the world and systems treat them?
This is the thing that worries me the most about some of these commentators that worship centrism for the aesthetic of it absent the progress that we need to make as a nation. It’s incumbent on Democrats to push forward on a whole range of issues. If you want to wishcast about a potential Democratic Party order that prioritizes broadly appealing things: go for it. You’ll probably get what you want.
It’s a two way street though. Democrats still have to solve problems like a path to citizenship for childhood arrivals, expanding and protecting voting rights, fixing broken police accountability, and doing something to better regulate guns so that my kids don’t need active shooter drills. If the “centrist” opinion on all of these things is “But do we have to?!? Sounds leftist! I only want you to solve the problems I care about. There’s no free lunch. Intersectionality is stoooopid,” then maybe think about having opinions worth reading.

Eh. That’s just a standard stock phrase used in Economics. And she realized quickly that it was a bad phase to use in view of Tim Walz and clarified it.
