krystal ball at the hill

They don't allow comments on any of her work, and her work exclusively attacks Democrats. Her core prime objective appears to be getting Tulsi Gabbard or Bernie Sanders as the nominee, to ensure a Republican victory. What an odd, odd situation.

Why does her current job protect her from interacting with comments. Why is she being paid to attack Democrats? Why is she marketed as a progressive when she is not?

primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden

You think Tulsi has a lot of appeal in a lot of states. Do you know anything at all about Ms. Ball?

You can also be a Dem and not a progressive.
I've seen a few episodes. Maybe the luck of the draw, but I saw more of a shine for Yang, who IMO is more of a Libertarian leaning Dem. Tulsi too for that matter. Big tent and all that - remember?

listened to someone referring to f*****s and said that that was okay.

She then became his supporter.

Why does Andrew Yang have the ability to sanctify anti-gay speech? He literally wanted to have a drink with the man.

My guess is that beyond the few political junkies who watch her at all, she has zero credibility. Remember, even on their best nights, Fox, MSNBC, etc only are seen by a couple of percent of the country.

I have no idea what she has said, haven't cared to listen to her in years, and have no intention of starting now, TBH

and she is one of the few contributors who are shielded in this manner.

I got to spend a lot of time in mixed sites. It's weird that they have a fake progressive, however.

Because if she is not, she reflects very badly on all progressives.

"The problem for her [Warren] isn't that she's too left, it's that she's too cozy with an establishment that is hated by most of the country."

It's nonsense. This doesn't get Democrats elected and is not progressive.
