Bernie wasn't very good at it either. AOC is the one to watch. Pragmatism over slogans. Great episode, thanks! 100
bethpolasky.bsky.social @bethpolasky.bsky.social · 13/08/2026@jonathanfreedland.bsky.social @unholypod.bsky.social Yes, many of us imagined brian cox during that dreadful "not serious" DSA interview.

bethpolasky.bsky.social @bethpolasky.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Great episode. Bibi is "toxifying parts of the opposition." AIPAC "toxified" Andy Levin, a j-st. aligned mensch, while funding pro-Jan.6 candidates, in '22. Their pariah status is well-deserved. My mom would be sad to see what they've become.

bethpolasky.bsky.social @bethpolasky.bsky.social · 27/05/2026If J-Street becomes toxic (and it might), I'd buy the argument that it's anti-Semitism. But there are many reasons to detest aipac.

bethpolasky.bsky.social @bethpolasky.bsky.social · 27/05/2026@jonathanfreedland.bsky.social re: unholy and f.Foer--AIPAC is toxic because it funds anti-Democracy (1/6), anti-choice, pro-ICE, pro-maga, and pro-nra candidates and has pushed out Jewish reps (Andy Levin in MI, etc.) because they were too critical of Israel.
