WTF? Stephanie Rhule has Andrew Yang on pitching the Forward Party.

[brush]

A sore Dem loser still trying to break thru. Why is she giving this guy a platform?

There are a few others on talking about tik-tok, transfender issues and AI, but Andrew Yang and the forward party? Please.

1. Yang*

Just cause he’s a dick doesn’t mean you have to call him by the wrong name.

[brush]

4. Right...Yang.

[TheBlackAdder]

19. 2024 is going to be the year of Multi-Spoiler Campaigns each whittling away a percent here & there.

[ColinC]

21. I imagine that may backfire incredibly

[TheBlackAdder]

22. Their goal is to sow doubt and confusion, so if they don't get a vote, disuade people from voting.

[Demsrule86]

23. I don't think so...and Yang has been an abject failure at everything.

[TheBlackAdder]

25. Yeah, but he does have resonance with some GenY and GenZers. A few percent, but enough.

[TexasTowelie]

2. Because nobody else wants to come in for an interview at the 11th hour on Friday.

It's also a sign of desperation for the Forward Party to take the time slot more than 18 months from the election.

Did Andrew ask for donations?

[pecosbob]

3. The mass media has a different agenda than you and I

They're not there to inform.

[brush]

5. True enough. With right wing extremists trying to install fascism...

the last thing we need to see is a sore loser, ex-Dem candidate pitching a 3rd party that will just help repugs if they make it to ballots.

6. I heard him before I looked up to see who it was

because he had this "insight" that both Democrats and Republicans were "too extreme" when it came to abortion rights.

And NOBODY called him on that... nobody on the panel said "in what way are Democrats being too extreme on abortion?" As I recall even the most extreme of us (if you can call it extreme) want to simply leave this up to the Doctor and the Woman.

No woman is going to go through 8 months of pregnancy just to have a voluntary abortion weeks before birth.

But if it does happen, I trust the woman and her doctor have their reasons.

I finally looked at the TeeVee and saw it was Yang... and thought "yup, that sort of figures... another rich asshole who really isn't that bright."

7. Late term abortion myth, women casually strolling into the Abortionplex even at 8 or 9 months

telling doctors to yank out the babies and murder them. Meghan McCain is a big believer.

[Demsrule86]

24. She is not a believe, she is a big liar...like most GOP types.

[RockRaven]

8. Maybe if people stopped watching outlets which broadcast garbage, there would be less garbage

being broadcast... Maybe.

[GuppyGal]

16. So MSNBC is garbage? LOL OK nt

[Demsrule86]

26. This was particular show was. And we all know this sort of thing led to a loss in the General in

in 16. And the media supported Trump then too including MSNBC. I will never forget nor forgive Joe and Mika...giving him all that exposure.

[Tetrachloride]

9. Either she made the choice herself or she kept her job

by accepting the job.

Either way, someone paid up.

[betsuni]

10. The Forward Party is a party about nothing, this is being exposed.

The "platform" thing again. It's a TV show.

Populism was big in 2016 and then with a lot of exposure and people seeing it was about nothing and a scam, not popular in 2020, not popular today.

[claudette]

11. Didn't realize

people still watch her show. I can’t

[onecaliberal]

15. Couldn't pay me to watch her.

[brush]

27. I missed Lawrence so I watched for a minute.

After seeing Yang is when I thought WTF?

[RandiFan1290]

12. Your media pals like when republicons are in charge. nt

[betsuni]

13. "Your media pals"? What does that mean?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

14. I muted Yang when he was on last night

Yang was never a serious candidate in the Democratic primaries in 2020

[dalton99a]

17. Another asshole hoping to be a useful idiot.

[TheBlackAdder]

20. Hey, just like Elon, Yang needs his ego stroked.

[marmar]

18. Never a fan of Stephanie Ruhle. She seems too "affected" in a disingenuous way to me.

[LiberalFighter]

28. I don't watch Stephanie.

Can't tolerate listening to her. Or looking at her.

[brush]

29. There's not much gravitas to her for sure.
