Krystal goes extra sometimes, I'll give you. But I think there's a distinction to be made between the sorts of critiques Brooks and other commentators level at Warren for her platform or strategy and demanding to have her primaried. They've been harsher on damn near everybody. Bloomberg and Pete especially but Harris and Beto also. I'm pretty sure they've all said she's their second choice. There's a serious gap between calling out where you think her plans or strategies are bad and demanding we primary her. People conflate the two but I don't think they're remotely the same.
And Michael has had Emma on and discussed the differences in their feelings on Warren a couple of times.

Your honor, I was merely capping.
they dont give a fukk
This shyt is WILD. The young voters, the future of this party are never gonna forget this. I guess they’re okay with fading into irrelevance if the status quo is mostly kept with trump.

A lot of these people have gone harder on Warren than Pete or Amy or Biden or Bloomberg. She's like 4th in the race and they're still trying to kill her dead. The hatred they have for her is pathological. The left is not ready to govern.
Nobody has gotten it worse than Bloomberg and it's not close. Before Bloomberg, Michael had Warren as his second choice and Buttigeig as his least favorite candidate whom he consistently trashed. Before Bloomberg, they said repeatedly that Biden was the biggest risk to put up against Trump (now it's probably Bloomberg). They joke about Amy too but don't take her seriously which is why she gets less flack. Warren positions herself a progressive and they critique her from the left. Yall can't portray Bernie stans as always claiming victim and exaggerate this hard.
The Michael Brooks Show
Look at that...those are all the clips going in on Bloomberg and he got in the race late as hell.
If people think Bernie Bros are bad now, they are in for a real treat if the DNC actually tries to take the nomination from Bernie via superdelegate.
You're smart enough to know the difference between superdelegates advertising who they've picked while the election is going on and what the scenario is.I'm just trying to help people who think everyone is deaf dumb and blind for not getting behind Warren and pretending to not understand why she is losing from both sides.
I think she is too important in the Senate. I’m not confident that a dem can win that seat if she is VP.In her 70s
Same issue with Barbara Lee
Baldwin is in her 50s

"halfway progressive"
So if you think her only path to victory can't happen, she's of no threat and shouldn't be engendering such focused ire and vitriol. If you really believe what you're saying, then smartest, most progressive move from Bernie's side would just be to let her campaign die its natural, inevitable death while highlighting their shared progressive principles to woo her supporters. She's of no threat to Bernie. But instead, we've seen her being attacked more by the biggest Bernie boosters than even Bloomberg in the past few weeks. She just disemboweled that man on national TV and might end up being the biggest reason he gets taken down and these people respond with...doubling down on attacking her and now demanding she be primaried. These aren't progressives, they're just Bernie stans. He backtracks on immigration stance and it's crickets from them, but Liz votes for Gerald Ford in 1974 and it's an unforgivable sin. shyt's pathetic.

Dude makes a lot of what Nomiki's been saying about the vanity attached the Super Delegates seem legit.
Those comments Bernie bros are like Trump bros without the tiki torches instead the keyboard. I hope Bernie keeps it close in SC.

Now I don't claim to have watched every episode of TMBS, but every single time I tune in he's peddling some fact-free, conspiratorial nonsense about Warren being a trojan horse shytty candidate.
I can do the same thing with Warren that you did with Bloomberg: The Michael Brooks Show
That Brooks is pushing the same amount of criticisms of Elizabeth Warren as MICHAEL fukkING BLOOMBERG indicates to me he's either a bad faith actor or has fallen down the dirtbag leftist twitter hole and has lost all sense of proportionality. I'm not saying don't make principled criticisms of Warren, but the obsession with training your fire on your closest ally is pathological and typical for social media leftists who are more concerned with eating their own and pathologically policing the clubhouse they're trying to build instead of doing the hard work of building an actual coalition that will deliver material benefits for the lives of working people. I don't want this dude anywhere near the progressive movement that this country desperately needs to build.
They want Trump to have four more years
Thing is it’s way too early.
If Bernie wins 30% of the vote to get the majority of delegates which is possible... that would be hilarious and just
Yang declined Bloomberg

Compare the headlines my dude, half his Warren commentary is tongue in cheek trolling while he has outright disdain for Bloomberg.
1. Michael Bloomberg is an Authoritarian
vs Is Warren's Campaign a Multi-level Marketing campaign (pure
2.Michael Bloomberg's Spying on Muslims
vs Warren Throws Sanders Under the Bus
3. Bloomberg Loves Taxing the Poor
vs Krystal Ball: Warren's Disappointing Race
I'm not saying he isn't critical. Just that he's not uniquely critical or as rough on her as some others. Bloomberg and Buttigeig especially, fam he HATES Buttigeig.
