First off, I both like Sarah and Scott. I dont agree with them on everything, especially Scott's Israel takes. They had an interesting conversation on raging moderates, but one thing that really frustrated me was when they both were agreeing that there is no way we can elect a "Bernie or AOC" type of candidate in 2028 or else we are doomed to lose to the GOP in 2028.

Their whole reasoning was "culture wars and identity politics" and the "border" where we get crushed at, but like, these really good lefty candidates arent into identity politics nor allowing mass immigration. Ironically the border mess happened under a moderate president.

My frustration stems from influencers and pundits shouldnt be saying "we should only elect this type of candidate" without allowing the best candidate to win the primary, whether there AOC or Joe Biden type of candidate.

I dont know how I will vote in 2028 primaries, but I for certain know, the democratic base is not going to go for an moderate dem who just wants to put things back to the way they were. We need bigger and bolder ideas and limiting our candidates to "moderates and normies" is a sure fire way to repeat the mistakes of the past.

Feel like ken martin and his team walked into this interview thinking he can repeat the same line 50 different ways without ever saying anything of substance.

It was just pre-canned lines. Bad interview. Insulting to think the DNC still thinks that democrats are the same of 2017 or even 2023
