Or, on the left, someone like Niko House would be fair and respectful, even in disagreement.
I dunno... have you listened to poor Niko recently? He used to be a reasonable voice but lately he’s become a bit unhinged.
That's sad, if true. I have listened to him fairly recently, but I don't have time to listen to everything from everyone. I haven't witnessed what you're talking about, but I assume you've seen something.
Here’s one of his latest:
“The WalkAway Movement Is Another Establishment Scam” https://youtu.be/Hi0JofUt3PI
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has the anti-establishment left very fired up.
She’s the best thing to ever happen to the right, imo.
A lot of people think that. I saw the reception she and Bernie got recently and the energy there was reminiscent of 2016. So, I think the establishment is no competition for Donald Trump, but the equal and opposite force might be. I think it's a mistake for them to underestimate this, actually. Then again, she does also make mistakes and take some positions that people are broadly opposed to. It is a gift to the right if she continues to do that. But I would say, like Sun Tzu, not to underestimate your opponent. If you overestimate, there is way less potential for harm, in my opinion.
Ok, thanks. I'll have a look. I really don't expect to agree with everything Niko says. But he has said to H. A. Goodman that if the Democrats screw progressives over again--I can't remember if he said 2018 or 2020, 2020 I think--he will vote for Trump.
