In the podcast with Mona, Charlie mentioned he had gotten a lot of blowback over the Texeira podcast.

Here's the problem with Teixera:

It's not that he's wrong about the mistakes and tone-deafness of the Democrats he allegedly supports. It's that he's so relentlessly negative about Democrats and he never stops to emphasize that the Republicans are so, so much worse and a dire threat to our country. He comes across as being more influential in providing reasons not to vote for Democrats.

And let's not forget how badly wrong he was about the 2022 elections.

Anyway, Teixera's unforced assists to Republican talking points and his failure to emphasize how dangerous the Republicans have become are why I stopped subscribing to his newsletter.

Maybe he ought to frame the Democrats' shortcomings in the context of what's coming if Republicans once again control the entire government.
