What should we do regarding Russia?
Pundits are supposed to tell us their opinion, but if you listen carefully, you quickly notice they are always negative; telling you what not to do, what to fear, what to hate. My greatest disappointment with, and criticism of, main-stream pundits had always been their inability or unwillingness to provide their positive take; most importantly what the right thing to do is. But then I found you. I believe you are providing a great service to our country by putting your positive opinions into "the marketplace of ideas," which leaves you more open to scrutiny and attack, but that is part of what makes the two of you true patriots. That being said, I would like to know what each of you thinks is the right thing for the U.S. and the West to do regarding Russia. We already know you both think we should push for a peace deal, and the sanctions should be removed because they're backfiring, but is that it? Putin invades a non-NATO country and because he's got nukes we should just let him? What stops him from doing it again? What precedent does that set for other countries, especially China regarding Taiwan?
Your perspective on the Ukraine war
Hey guys. Love the show. I'm a european, and I've enjoyed your show for a long time, but I find myself surprised by most of your Ukraine coverage. For the first time ever, I'm actually grateful that the military industrial complex has the ability to spit out weapons and that the US is willing to send them to ukraine. Every time you guys discuss Ukraine, it seems like you both think that the Ukrainians should simply surrender, or negotiate some sub-par agreement with a man who has time and time again shown himself to be an untrustworthy psychopath. We've already seen what immense horrors russian occupation means for ukrainians. To me, it seems fairly clear that Ukraine is not Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria or Libya. Am I reading your stances wrongly? Can you clarify your position(s) on what you guys would do, if you were "leading the talks"? Thanks so much for all your hard work
Christian Fascists and how they are destroying our freedoms?
Will you cover the Rise of Christian Fascism and their usurpation of our government? I haven't heard much coverage from you guys on the role of this dangerous, powerful and retarded superstition destroying our way of life. Chris Hedges recently posted a great article about it on Substack. On how the respectable business community and the Christian Fascists are happily demolishing our freedoms. (A lot of rainbows from this corporations but not a peep on American freedoms and rights being buried in the mud) The Christian Fascists rise has also been documented and fought by organizations like Freedom From Religion Foundation FFRF
Overseas Support
As a subscriber in Canada, I can attest that you provide deep and thoughtful coverage of the issues and important players in America. As the USA is such a force - not always good - in the world, I am wondering what is your current subscription / viewership outside of the USA? Do you have a grasp on your international exposure and do you consider us non-Americans in designing your coverage? Once again, many thanks for demystifying the chaos of your governance, best of luck.
Young Democrats Unite Against Dems in Office
How can democrats unite in force to collectively tell the Biden Administration that if they don’t do as they promised, we will not vote for them? Or even vote against them. Top of mind, forgive some student debit, tax credits for child care, legalize marijuana. How can we unite to get them to fulfill their promises?
