The next big thing?
Given the Dems are a party in desperate need of a new direction, and this guy screams different ... might a "healthy" John Fetterman become the next Bernie Sanders? There is a lot of potential deep dive commentary here, so I will leave that up to you two. Thank you, Marshal Read, Portland, OR
Biases-but love the show
Hi Saagar and Krystal, First- I love what you are guys are doing. I have been a paid subscriber for 6+ months and love the product. It is SO sorely needed..... You have become a part of my daily news routine. That said- I think partially BECAUSE of you guys I have become very skeptical of narratives I am being fed. Do you discuss your own/each other's blind spots? You seem very thoughtful so I imagine the answer is “yes”. However- I feel you could be even more effective in your message if you gave some counterpoints (negatives) to the issues you are passionately positive about. At times I have found myself saying "oh great- Saagar is going full cynic on foreign policy again”+"yep- Krystal is pumping another organized labor story." I want to be clear- I agree with both of those ideals you are carrying big picture..... but feel that I am at times skeptical of your highest convictions because you rarely present the potential counterpoint. Do you talk about this? Overall- thanks and keep up the great work! :)

National Whistleblower Day
Hello Crystal and Saagar I hope all is well with you two, I wanted to know if you observed or found any interest in NWD 2022. There are several whistleblower orgs in DC that had in-person and virtual events e.g. National Whistleblower Center, Whistleblowers of America, and the Whistleblower Film Festival. All of which discussed topics I think you would be interested in.
Krystal's critique of Tulsi Gabbard
Question for Krystal. I have heard you are not a fan of Tulsi Gabbard. I am curious to hear your critique of her as a former congresswoman as well as a former and hopefully future presidential candidate. She has constantly been the target of shadow banning, name calling like "Russian asset" and "Assad sympathizer" and now is on the so blacklist from Ukraine. I feel like she is a threat to the status quo in Washington but would like your take.
