This week, we're recording on Driftglass's birthday while he's still battling a cold and sounding disturbingly like RFK Jr. meets Broderick Crawford—so we're keeping it simple and direct.
Why should Democrats stop accommodating Republican sociopaths who inflict pain on their own base as leverage? And what happens when Democrats finally say "let them burn" instead of rushing to pay the ransom?
Why are there focus groups with Trump voters but never with the Democratic base? Why is it always the Democrats' job to accommodate the ego, bigotry, stupidity, and paranoia of fragile white men?
Why are on-air consultants auditioning for paydays by insisting Democrats move to the "reasonable center"?
And what polls amazingly well that none of these hired guns want to talk about? (Hint: getting money out of politics.)
Happy Birthday, Driftglass. Get well soon. (And Happy Halloween, everyone!)
