Their debate with Cenk
Remember when Kyle Kulinski said he didn’t think it was worth voting in 2020 during the freaking pandemic’s start when Trump seemed so much worse than Biden? Or when he called the January 2021 insurrection a “diet coup” or Krystal Ball would spend the entirety of “The Hill” trolling Democrats and barely covering Republican/Trump failures? They’ve changed and it seems partly grifting. Kyle’s tweets are smugly anti-MAGA and anti-Rogan and I’m not a supporter of Rogan or anything, but it’s kind of a convenient 180 clearly meant to get more viewers.
Can’t stand Mehdi Hassan, either for opposing any challenger to Biden in the primaries as “spoilers”, including Cornell West and Marianne Williamson and then freaking out at Biden’s debate performance when it was too late (just like Emma Vigeland), and now for going on The Vanguard. Emma and Mehdi are both controlled opposition and claimed to be for ending the genocide, but conveniently supported Biden/Harris at all costs, including the truth.
Back to Krystal. In the last few weeks, she co-hosted with Emma Vigeland, which made my blood boil, and I refused to watch it.
Now I see Krystal being angry at Cenk during a debate for saying we can persuade elements of MAGA to turn against Trump. Why is she angry at that? As he said to Francesca Fiorentini, the left isn’t in power, so we have to work within limits. Cenk isn’t responsible for MAGA’s power. What hope is there when the Dem establishment doesn’t want to stop the wars or end the tax cuts, etc? At around the 17 minute mark, she rude interrupts him with numerous questions and refuses to let him answer and it’s based on stereotypes of what he said. It’s obvious she’s never watched a full hour of TYT. His position is nuanced.
Isn’t the entire basis of Ball’s show with Saagar Enjeti that we can work with the populist right? Heck, she puts up with that wacko Emily Jashinsky who’s pro Canada’s Pierre Pollievre and says he’s a populist, when he’s more dangerous than Trump, I think.
