I used to really admire both of them. Without going too deep into specifics, I think the last few years have brought out the worst in both of them.

She basically runs the whole attack on identity politics, the thread that unites Jacobins and right-wingers and libertarians and social conservatives.

I'm sure it will warm your heart, and the attacks on the Democratic party will rehash all of the talking points.

I remember a campaign four years ago that attacked identity politics, claimed that black politicians and women and LGBT people were part of the establishment and therefore the enemy of the revolution.

The same campaign even attacked HIV activists, and a group of that campaign's workers went after HIV activist Peter Staley personally. Threats, attacks, doxing.

I can kind of see how that talk immediately bleeds into the right-wing politics of Krystal Ball.

Enjoy!

Thu Jan 16, 2020, 11:04 AM

I don't know what's in your heart, but I know that she is a force of evil. she literally was on a campaign with her co-host to deny that Trump had any flaws.

She was laughing with Giuliani and working to exonerate him. (Her handlers pulled the video.)

She is literally a part of this administration's Ukrainian scandal, and she and her co-host have worked tirelessly to try to defeat accusations of wrongdoing by the Trump administration in the Ukraine.

I know nothing about your heart, but you have stated that you love watching her and will enjoy it. I have no knowledge of why you would enjoy watching her exculpate Trump and Giuliani.

her entire output is an attack on the Democratic party. I have no knowledge of why you say you would enjoy that.

I have made no hypothesis about your interiority or subjectivity. I have responded to your statements, and I do not understand why you made them and I do not theorize about why you made them. You stated that you enjoyed watching her, yet her output is consistently hate. You have not explained why you enjoy watching her.

primary today, I would vote for:

You were snide and condescending and kept repeating what you say are awful things she does and says and then told me how I would enjoy them.

Please stop now. I know exactly what you posted and what you inferred.

As Finkelstein has been paying them to do for lo these many months. They don't allow commentary on any of her work, however. I suppose being a fake progressive works best when you're behind glass. Every other article at that site has a robust commentary. Krystal Ball can't handle it, however. Weird, huh?
