      Oy... Gawd, you guys need to study a little logic and rhetoric.

      I still don't understand why you brought up Hitler in this context. Can you clarify? I'm missing the "logic and rhetoric" behind this move.

      “A has X, which I imply is an inherent virtue” “Z also had X, and since Z is one of the worst people in history, X is obviously not some inherent virtue” Maybe that’s harder to grasp than I thought...

      I think it makes a big difference if the ability to reach people is used in the service of medicare for all or for race war. So I'm puzzled by any logic that ignores that difference.

      1. Hitler was a bad analogy, and Dana should've used a less inflammatory one to make his point more appropriately. 2. Jeet's being purposefully obtuse about a point he very clearly understands. There, you can call an end to the dick measuring contest.

      Believe me, I'm not trying to be purposefully obtuse. I'm genuinely puzzled at how someone can look at a 78 Jewish democratic socialist who lost much of his family in the Holocaust & think his ability to reach people is akin to Hitler.

      Jesus, you really don’t get that it wasn’t about Bernie, that it was about the supposed ability to reach people that I was talking about?

      If I had said Warren has the ability to reach people, I don't think you would've reacted the same way, no.

      Warren didn’t go on Joe Rogan.

      If she did, I'd praise her on the same terms. I think it's a politicians job to try and reach out to people and bring them onside.

          This is a post Rogan poll? I've actually been waiting to see when those come out to see if there's a considerable change in either direction.

          And if she did, I’d criticize her. So would most people not hostile to her candidacy. But she won’t. Because it’s a dumb and borderline offensive thing to do.

          You think reaching out to six million listeners, mostly young people who are politically disengaged, is dumb and borderline offensive? It seems like the only voters you're interested in winning over are suburban Republicans who live in gated communities.
