Mockler: So all of our politicians are incredibly risk averse. So they're not out there taking risks or trying to do new things. But, while they're being risk averse, they're also just purity testing everybody and finger wagging them.

(4,444 posts)He is fast on his feet, he has the facts in his head, and I think he could out-debate any MAGA.
Only 22 (I think), I hope he eventually has a career in politics, we need smart people like him to represent us. I watch his videos daily on Youtube, and I've seen him on more and more panels on CNN.

(93,131 posts)...and misrepresenting the majority of our legislators, all of whom, unlike Mockler, have actually fought and won their seats against actual republicans, and they didn't just do it for clicks on their account or podcast.
What he's saying here is specious and self-aggrandizing with the prospect of accomplishing nothing except republicans getting a tingle up their legs watching Democrats(?) eat their own.
And, no I don't think much about his political chops, as I've been doing this much longer than this sport has, and don't consider whinging about my own party in public to be some sort of superior political strategy.

(1,181 posts)I've seen some of his stuff. It's commentary. It's enjoyable, if not particularly strong strategically.
I'm not a particular fan of setting up shots for Republicans.
Find a Democrat you can support and come out on a positive note for the future.
Go fling your poop at the real enemy instead of us.
