Well, this was interesting.
I’ve only caught a few clips from the Bernie Sanders appearance on the Flagrant Podcast, but you have to hand it to Bernie, he is authentic and is willing to call the balls and strikes as he sees them.
At least mostly. No politician is ever totally honest–I think it violates the Terms of Service or something–but Bernie Sanders appeals to Democrats who want “straight talk” in the way that Donald Trump appeals to MAGA. I think his “straight talk” is nonsense, but he rarely holds back.
The Flagrant Podcast’s host is Andrew Schultz, along with his fellow comedians Akaash Singh and Mark Gagnon. They apparently are a thing, although not a thing that attracts me in most cases.
Schultz is a lefty, and like many lefty true believers in the Sanders and AOC mold, he has become as alienated from the Democratic Party as the centrists…
