Are you going to stop attacking Bernie?
Oh, but that’s different...
Hillary people like yourself somehow decided Warren was the play and went on the offensive at Bernie. Warren herself isn’t even doing this.
You jumped on her train around the same time that she said she would take big donor money, so for all we know whoever you work for is one of the companies donating to her.
But you want the rest of us to throw out our morals when a candidate that fits our description is not only still in, but polling near the lead?
Nah fucc that. If Warren wins, cool. But until then stop acting shocked that people’s first pick isn’t the one that was a Republican for decades and cozied up to big business.
Bernie does dumb disqualifying shyt
In fact, I like his Housing plan he came out with today
But he's running his campaign like a fukking circus.

What's the worst thing he or his campaign have done?
It's almost like this is a democratic primary and he's backing the candidate that most aligns to his interests and has no interest in buoying one that they don't.
What the fukk do you think this is? What the fukk do you think the primary is for? This isn't the general election you dipshyt. They're supposed to what, kiss her ring and just respect her? Sam and Michael clearly have ideological and philosophical differences with Liz Warren and that's fine. That's literally the point of a primary and why Sanders is running. They'll back her in a general if she wins so I don't understand anything about your criticism other than they're being mean to your candidate rather than the ones you choose to be "okay" to focus on.

I've listened to every episode of the TMBS. I listen to the majority report almost every day...
...but his attacks on Warren are starting to become a problem for me.
Theres legitimately bad Dem candidates.
Attacking Warren, with the real possibility he might have to EAT CROW in a few months is all bad.
He spent the ENTIRE show attacking warren on level 11. This was unreal and completely uncharacteristic for him. This was damn near Jimmy Dore levels of unreasonableness. Even I don't attack Bernie as hard as he's going right now...and things must be dire if Bernie has his team cranking up attacks on competitors now

Just so we're clear, this tantrum is over an episode of MR where Michael and Natalie both noted that Warren is their second choice (Michael did his running joke that Williamson is his second choice with Warren third but it means the same thing). They were fair but offering LEFTIST critiques, you're listening to actual lefties not posers. Now where Michael did get kinda harsh was pointing out the subset of pompous supporters who act extra sensitive about any and all critiques of Warren...but he's not wrong...there's some of those for sure
I like a lot of what Michael Brooks talks about and sheds light on but man does he come off as a cocky snarky a$$hole sometimes. I'ma Bernie supporter too, but in fairness Michael does go beyond giving critiques of policies when it comes to certain candidates.
his impressions is how i even got into the majority report in the first place.
hope they drop more of these.
his foreign policy insight separates him from a lot of contemporary left wing commentators, IMO.

interesting discussion. I like Ryan Grim, because he can keep his bias in check. Grim is a Sanders supporter, but doesn’t see the need to use disingenuous attacks against Warren. Look, I agree with some of the Warren criticism Michael Brooks have laid out. Especially on foreign policy. However, some of his commentary on Warren has been straight up hacky. On one of the Majority Report shows last month, he straight up admitted he would use one of the smear attacks on Warren ( I cant remember the specific attack) if he thought it would help Bernie. I like Michael Brooks overall, but I can’t respect that.
