Idk what is most surprising here:

he hasn't gotten it covered (apparently had since 2006)
this made it through the pod save edit to be shown on their video
pod save had him on

Wonder what the excuses will be this time on why it's okay he's still in the race as if he wins probably will be another fetterman.

Or maybe I'm so conspiracy brained I wonder if this is a way to make the ancient governor running look like the best candidate

It's legitimately entertaining to listen to pod save the same way it was to watch the Colbert report.

You could not come up with a more ridiculous strawman than every episode of the pod.

30 minutes of explaining why Trump can't do any of the things he does daily with zero repercussions, followed by 30 minutes of the most i.pressive mental gymnastics you've ever seen to, every single time, arrive at the conclusion that the smart and brave move is to do absolutely nothing, because that would be playing into trumps hand.

And then you get rhe occasional break for something like platforming a proud nazi with nazi tattoos, or to make sure to denounce maduro and say he's just as bad as Trump and he stole the last electi0n and is an authoritarian. Like literally the last episode they were talking about Trump drone striking fishing boats and that most reprehensible dipshit Tommy Vitor took time to step back and condemn Maduro.

It's honestly almost valuable as a constant reminder that there is less than zero chance that liberals will save us and an almost 100% chance that they'll throw us under the bus before meaningfully opposing a single fascist.

Fascists will flip the gas switch with a shit-eating grin while liberals will flip the gas switch with tears in their eyes.
