‼️The Boy Who Cried White Supremacist (w/ @bungarsargon)‼️

"At a moment when Americans are ready for a multiracial working class coalition, you have people sort of putting the kibosh on it on MSNBC by calling half that coalition racist."

Listen now: patreon.com/posts/episode-…
.@bungarsargon was gracious enough to meet me in NY to chat about how the mainstream media betrays working class values, how much the left should be led by polls vs values, whether intersectionality and other "woke" ideology has jumped the shark, & more.

"I frequently have what I consider to be woke emotions, like assuming a person of color needs a certain kind of protection or help or whatever it is in a way that is disgusting & embarrassing & dehumanizing & paternalistic & a lot of very bad things."

"You push back against this idea that race is everywhere, but Lauren Hill said it best: everything is everything...I understand the argument for white supremacy being everywhere, but that kind of diminishes the utility of the term...It's the boy who called white supremacist."

I hoped not to do this bc I sincerely appreciated that you agreed to be a guest on @BadFaithPod. However:

1) It was not a convo abt deradicalization -- a term you introduced after I asked a question about how your reporting affected your view on coalition building on the left.
2) I offered you a chance to talk about whatever you thought the main take aways of the book were. I asked germane follow up questions.

3) We agreed to record the podcast at 1pm on Friday. You kept my producer and I waiting an hour and then showed up in a car on your phone.
You ignored the detailed technical instructions and were not in a position to conduct a quality, professional recording. I said nothing about this, but simply offered to reschedule at a time that was better or you. We agreed to Sunday. That left no time to record a back up.

Let's allow for a moment that this is true.

What does that say about a party that dismissed the "Bernie Bros'" request for modest reforms like a $15 minimum wage or a VP that didn't support the Hyde Amendment &, instead, courted conservative suburban voters by moving right?
Corporate Democrats sold out their base to get Republican voters, lost parts of their base as a consequence, and have spent the last *five years* kvetching -- pretending that the left left the party when it is they who abandoned the base.
As @MalaikaJabali 87 *thousand* Black voters *in Wisconsin ALONE* voted in 2012 and then declined to vote in 2016. The reasons most frequently cited?

“unhappy with choice of candidates or issues" 33%

“Not interested” 8.8%

“vote would not have mattered” 6.6%

A reminder that while Nader received 95,000 votes in Florida, 308,000 *registered Democrats* voted for Bush.

(Only 24,000 registered Dems voted for Nader).
Also, if we’re imagining a world without spoilers…

Watching He’s All That and feeling sorry for Gen Z. You deserve better.
So does Rachel Leigh Cook.
Why do producers think that the way to modernize a plot is to make it heavy handey about social media? “It’s not a modern teen movie without a chat screen scrolling over the opening dialogue!”

Of course our soulful nerdy makeover subject isn’t into social media. Or new music.🙄

Sitting outside at a coffee shop listening to a Georgetown law student talking to an incoming 1L about school and the soulless competitiveness that is law school is all rushing back.

He’s mentioned his GPA (he’s in the top 3%), quizzed her on her interest in moot court…
asked her about her long term career plans — all in the last 5 min. “Some kids don’t even know what interrogatories are!” he says, explaining the knowledge gap that exists among first years.

He’s right. It sucks. Don’t worry though. These two know.
He and his friend are going to start a podcast about legal issues. 🥲
