Gonna have to read through this a second time later.

I’m still aggravated, from listening this morning to a ‘Progessive’ host complaining that waaaah! Tulsi didn’t push back on Rubin’s right-win comments.

No! How dare the Congresswoman? We can’t let anybody say anything that is inaccurate or wrong about our chosen ‘wing’. If a candidate chooses to focus on her anti-war message and pulling in more supporters from assorted ideologies, then there’s something wrong with her. Dat ain’t right.

Following that segment, before even addressing the main point of the podcast, the host had to ‘remind’ us that although we all live in a bubble, Fox News is the worst of it.

How does this help us, in any way?

What a waste of intellect & precious time. I turned off the podcast, 6 minutes into it. What Caitlin is suggesting — spend more time immunizing yourself against false narratives — is time much better spent, than listening to anti-Right podcasts with provacative tribalist titles.

Or if we spent our time following Niko House’s advice to ‘Find our balance’, we’d be better off. He is right about emphasizing this ; good man. The clarity would lead us to finding & agreeing on workable populace solutions as well, without attacking each other.

Thanks, Caitlin.
