Guys - I enjoyed your content, and I think your analysis is sound.
But I think you missed one very important point: why did 6 major mainstream publications, as well as the Bulwark, simultaneously publish the same story? That Piker needs to be canceled for being an anti-Semite (amongst other crimes?)
Because this isn’t about anti-semitism. It isn’t even about Piker’s words.
It is about publicly crushing a critic of Israel, openly and publicly. To make an example of him. To make sure that any other critic of Israel understands they could be 'Pikered'.
Tim Miller and Sarah Longwell are not inside the Democratic tent. They are conservative Republicans aka old guard libertarians. I wouldn't and don't listen to them opining on politics, one exception Tim Miller is a self identified gay, and I can not understand his association with conservatism, anymore than I can Peter Thiels, Steve Bessent and JD Vance, and or that matter Andrew Sullivan. To me they are Quislings.
That guy is another far left looney. I dealt with his type of moron 50 years ago and he shows they haven't gotten any better since. There's a reason why the only way these people can take power is a "dictatorship of the proletariat" where they imprison the people smarter than they are. This guy is as bad news as any damn MAGAt. He and the children who follow him remind me tmy old friend Jerry Rubin was misquoted. It was "don't trust anybody UNDER thirty."
This comment could not be more disconnected from reality. In any event, thank you for watching the conversation. I’m glad it sparked your interest, even if your commentary in response is thoroughly deluded.
