Thank you for calling out the Democratic party. I understand taking the high road, but that high road is driving us right into the ground.

[cyndiebirkner]

I'm so sick of hearing about the guardrails that we all know won't work and no one does anything about!! Thank you Jon!!

The way John perfectly pointed out that Obama absolutely could have forced Merrick Garland into becoming a supreme Court Justice, but didn't because of norms and standards . This is what I get at when I say that the Democrats didn't bother to try to ensuring roe v Wade because it was a better fundraising point to say we've got to try to save it every 4 years. Dems have been in disarray ever since the hanging chad fiasco of the 2000 election, and I can only say that because that was the first election I was old enough to participate in.

Thank you for explaining the loopholes vs norms. I've been screaming that since 2017

[prothean]

Thank you for calling out Morning Joe and Mika. They flipped to kiss trumps ring real quick.

5:45 "Wow, this is gonna be the most diverse group of Congress people to ever get ALL OF THEIR LEGISLATION BLOCKED!"😂

The McConnell Supreme Court nomination block (and then immediate 180 when trump was in office) still infuriates me. That right there is your “corrupt deep state” and “enemy from within.”

[Aiffe]

Give the writer who coined "The Audacity of Cope" a raise! I'm going to be using that basically every day now.

[Averagecommenter]

It's so refreshing to hear someone finally say all this in a mainstream outlet and not just make excuses for the Dems incompentence

[sbersun]

Finally someone said it. They are all complicit. It is maddening.

[iYoSora]

Jon... run for president, and Teach Democrats the most important lesson they have never cared to learn.

[anthonyleach]

Glad Jon signed on for more. We need him now more than ever

[TheHuskyK]

That's one thing that bothered me about Democrats, as a fellow Democrat. They just roll over and take it, no fight, no grit. Republicans, meanwhile, grasped at any straw they found, no matter how small or even if there wasn't any straw at all. Of course, not all Dems are like that, but most of what I'm seeing so far.

John, I have never felt your reflections were so needed and so on point. I served on the city council when now Congressmember Robert Garcia was the Mayor. I felt the intense frustration with excuses and norms, to give people cover from not doing what their voters elected them to do. I have multiple cases and decided not to run again, because I was exhausted with the party politics. I will be writing more on this, but I just had to find a way to say thank you. Youre nailing it. And note - pointing to the parliamentarian is just about cover so they can continue to take corporate money. Your pod cast was on point - money out of politics and shorter elections.

[nathanstruble]

This all hinges on the idea that the Dem's are opposed to the GOP. Based on their track record basically since the 90's, that isn't the case.

[itsmelive]

Biden wandering off into the rainforest is a little too on point.

[unstoppablefrank]

Wow! One of the BEST episodes I've seen Jon put on! Both hilarious and on point with his observations about norms & loopholes!

[hemedtov]

Thanks for speaking clearly. I wish someone were listening.

[alabasterfantasia]

I'm a moderate and John Stewart is 100% spot on here.

[Mxlsptlk]

I remember Merrick Garlands nomination and how Dem's just gave up. That was pathetic.
