Bernie Sanders press secretary turned podcaster/Rising contributor/my fantasy girlfriend (I’ve never agreed with her ridiculous commie politics but I figured I could fix her) turned Rising host/Robby Soave tormentor/apparent crazy person.

Here she is being interviewed by Moynihan for Vice News, years ago:

She is infuriatingly adorable.

I bet she was a sweet kid who was annoying yet had leadership qualities; her behavior at that debate showed anything but.

She was always adorable but infuriatingly unattainable. The bloom is off the rose now.

She is one of the few people on her side who actually believes in what she says on this issue and also has the tactical ability and rhetorical skill to not regularly beclown herself in doing so.

She wins by not losing her cool and getting her opponents to lose theirs first. Dangerous and effective but not necessarily proof that her side is correct.

That's one way to see it, I guess.

I have never heard or seen her before, and I'm not on Twitter/X. So this was my first exposure.

To me, she came across as dim. She never answered the question at hand, and instead filibustered with non sequiturs. She was also rude as hell. I did not find it effective in the least. She took one of the most polarizing issues of our time and did the unthinkable: united the audience in their dislike of her.

Fantasy GF? No judgement but seriously you're looking for a S&M relationship. She's is always bottoming from the top, which means she still wants you to be responsible for her behavior, so if you don't get a happy ending, its your fault not hers.

I promise, she used to be much more reasonable. At least, she appeared to be. But I wouldn’t rule out S&M.

I trust you, on both statements.

If the S&M ever happens, we are going to need all the details :) Good luck!
