What does my subscription add to my experience?
I've noticed that clips of your regular production appear on YouTube before they show up in the daily feed. I fully support you all, but I thought I would have instant access to the show at or before the time that clips start showing up. What's the deal? What do I actually get for my subscription? It's fair to acknowledge technical difficulties or any other obstructions, but please make my subscription somewhat valuable.
Supporting/interviewing third-party candidates.
The last counterpoints AMA, Emily asked if the reason Jill Stein might not be polling higher is because no one is throwing their support behind her with a platform like you breaking points. Ryan's response was something like, you have to maintain integrity as reporters, because it would reflect poorly on you if you threw your support behind a Jill Stein or Cornell West and they only ended up getting 4% of the vote. I think this is a misread of your audience. You would 100% get my full respect if you threw your support behind the candidate you most ideologically align with, while acknowledging that you are using your platform to build momentum around 3rd party candidates. This is the long game, but if other indie media starts following suit, maybe 1, 2, or 3 elections down the road, enough of a movement will be built for getting a third party in office that they can actually win. What do you think about this? Also, the thing about Jill Stein not having a strong campaign, I think the "not genocide" position is 👌
India is technically not a Hindu state
Israels defenders make the argument that like India, is the only hindu state, Israel is the only Jewish state. That is not the case. India has a majority of Hindus but is not technically a Hindu state. Also they have had a non Hindu prime minister. Are there comparisons to be made between Oct 07 and the 07/11 beutual attacks in India. Can the world learn from how India responded and got rid of the terrorist problem.
Israel Palestine debate last week
Saagar, did you enjoy hosting the debate last week? You did a great job moderating but couldn't help notice that you were agreeing a lot to Dave Smiths arguments. Also you should tell him how to pronounce your name. It's "Saaaagar" not "Sgaar".Krystal being objective, could you provide your insights on the debate as well.djd you learn anything new from it. I don't think I did but then again I have listened to Dave and sometimes Cenk as well.
