Voting for Biden
Are you guys concerned about your audience's reception of Krystal's endorsement of Biden? I know her endorsement is only on the basis of if he wins the Democratic "primary" over Marianne. Since you guys intentionally built an anti-mainstream audience, I think many of us are really surprised. Did Krystal make the anti-third party decision a long time ago? Way before Marianne officially announced, I assume discussions about third party vs Dem party took place and it was decided by Marianne's team (of which I assume Krystal was/is a part) that the Democratic party was the only viable avenue to win. That may be true, but it's a stretch to suggest that the only reasonable second choice to Marianne is voting for the reason Marianne can't actually run as a Democrat. I'll be honest, I'm mostly just trying to understand you, Krystal. I respect you. I don't want your position to be "Even though I want a real democratic process and the president and his party are doing everything they can to stop that, Biden did something really good for unions right after he told the rail workers to shut up and get back to work. So he will earn my vote after the fake primary is over." I'm surprised you chose to air that segment of the debate on breaking points at all. I don't want to trash Krystal's man, but he didn't seem ready to sit at the big kid's table.
Total aid to Ukraine Europe versus US
Saagar has repeatedly said that the US gives the vast majority of aid to Ukraine and that all else is negligible. However the Ukraine aid tracker shows that Europe has clearly overtaken the US in total aid, by a factor of about 2 to 1 https://www.ifw-kiel.de/publications/news/ukraine-support-tracker-europe-clearly-overtakes-us-with-total-commitments-now-twice-as-large/ This has been a major part narrative on the conflict he has been pushing. Is he going to fess up that the US has only committed about a third of the total aid to Ukraine, and that support for Ukraine is in fact part of a international coalition in a substantial way? Or is Saagar just going to keep pushing clearly verifiably false claims? I like Saagars domestic politics takes a lot, its hard to comprehend whats happening when Saagar so confidently makes clearly verifiably factually false claims.
Consistently messing up Spotify...
Hi... Why do you post to the regular Spotify over the premium Spotify first? This seems to happen almost once a week, maybe more. Shows are never launched at 11:00 a.m. like you say they are, usually like 11:15 to 11:30 but so many times like today, the show doesn't even come out on Spotify premium just on the regular Spotify. Just trying to justify my expense

Posting/citing sources and pertinent related reading
If you don't already have the following, please consider helping your viewership (and continue to set yourself above and apart from the majority of media) by creating a site where you list links to sources (and host copyright permitted documents that may be so obscured on the net)? In addition to the major subjects you cover, including links to items and topics that are mentioned in passing would allow you to share your knowledge and allow viewers to expand their own. That news outlets will "report" on things in a way that the media narrative itself distorts into becoming the "common knowledge" that the public has access to is disappointing and disturbing. even web searches provide results consisting of editorial and opinion digest. I never see links to PDFs of documents or legislative bills that are endlessly discussed by every major outlet
