I could say the same of both, but the endless harping that Democrats MUST stop shooting each other until (forever, is Rieckhoff's implication, although he's saying-) "after the Georgia election",which he's SURE both Democratic candidates are going to lose pretty much ignores all the sabotage the DNC in the elections, and the established players in D.

I remember when Kyle Kulinski had more subscribers than Sam Seder or David Pakman. They both now surpassed him even with his appearance in Joe Rogan many times.
Paul: "Let me finish" (while he just interrupted Sam mid-point) I would hope he lets other people talk on his podcast. He asks a question then just talks over Sam halfway through his first sentence. Sam you have the patience of a saint! People like that frustrate the hell out of me.
Wow what a softball debate. This dude calls himself an "independent ", while he sounds like and uses the same talking points as a run of the mill "moderate" dem.
Paul Rieckhoff makes for an infuriating guest because: 1) He talks over people. 2) He puts forth his own opinions as "facts" while dismissing any actually data Sam brings up. He doesn't like "exit data" or "googled data", but he's fine making points with just his own opinions. 3) He claimed Bernie was NO DEMOCRAT when it served him at one point in the argument, then in another he grouped Bernie in with the Dems as a negative. 4) He claims AOC is no Dem even though she is a registered Dem, then gets mad when Sam asks him to name who he would call a Dem. 5) No complaints about Spanberger trashing AOC and left for the House losses, but mad when AOC defends. AOC /left is supposed to stay silent while media builds on Spanberger's narrative that "the left" is the problem. 6) He makes it clear that you either agree with him, or you must want to burn the Dem house down and lose. You will never win arguing against a person like this unless you get aggressive and make him PROVE his talk with data and keep to facts only, but Sam was being a gracious host. Rieckhoff is essentially a moderate Republican that is upset that the current GOP has moved into authoritarianism, and wants the DNC to be the "new" moderate Republicans. He misses the obvious data points that Trump and the Tea Party DESTROYED moderate Republicans and chased out Boehner, Ryan, and all the other old moderates, and Pelosi got some things done, but is also responsible for Dems losing over 1000 state seats during Obama's term. Rieckhoff is the type of person that thinks he has all the answers and will NEVER see big change coming. I bet he wrote off Trump back in 2016 because he was so extreme, but look what happened. People don't want moderate- they want conviction. Pelosi is the past AOC is the future- but Rieckhoff has the exact OPPOSITE view.
I think Sam knew this guy for enough years to know that no one would listen to him just by the sheer "turn off" of this guy's personality so he just let him run lmao
"In order to beat the Republicans Democrats must become indistinguishable from the Republicans." (Paul Rieckhoff, according to this train wreck of an interview)
Normally that's the host of a program, but if the guest is rude an entitled, then they just completely disregard the fact that a host is basically a moderator.
So Paul is saying that in Kentucky, the Democrats shouldn't have pissed away all that money to get Amy McGrath the nomination, and they should have gone with Charles Booker? Works for me.
This guy is a gigantic clown, and I can't believe I put myself through this again. I hope this guy is embarrassed, cause this was embarrassing. He should delete his social media.
A a non american I always find it odd when AOC is described as an extremist. In most countries she would be a centrist politician. If a politician thinks people getting healthcare and decent wages is an extremist, then it is the political system that is extreme.
Bernie Sanders and John McCain worked together to improve veterans benefits and didn't get all they wanted but highly respected each other after working together.
This guy saying he has 15 years of experience listening to other people is ridiculous if he conducts all of his political conversations like this. What a nightmare
This paul guy doesnt have his own thoughts. Hes just arguing for the thoughts he thinks are popular but doesnt actually know if they are popular or not.
Discipline my foot. You are not disciplined enough , to let someone else speak, or finish their thoughts. So, I can’t get past that. Preaching what you don’t or can’t practice.
Strange cause this aged horribly for Paul here because he was wrong about both races in Georgia, and progressive wins are the only thing keeping the house in democratic hands
Dude needs to take a breath. It doesn’t make for an interesting conversation when someone takes a tactic of using all the air in the room. It works in a lecture but not in a “debate”.

He literally helped Sam create this show. Don’t be such a butthurt fanboy.
@@sprontos Lol. You're mad.
@@sprontos So? Dude is annoying. Does the whole “let me finish” deal but cuts off the other person when they are making their point.
This guy is a clown
Imagine defending Nancy Pelosi lmfao
Jeez, Riechoff is a prime example of a self-inflated egomaniac, Sam has the admirable patience of a saint! You don't win an argument by out-shouting your opponent. Did Riechoff let Sam finish even one sentence?
This dude sounds like he a lowkey right winger.
Only reason u saying that is cause he is bald
Yeah
Why is it so-called moderates are always right wing kooks at their core? They frame from the right, their world view is right wing, their policies are always right wing.
A Diet Republican straight from the Clinton Nineties. Definitely.
That’s what centrist are. Exactly what he is
Guy sounds like he tried and failed to get in on the Lincoln Project grift.
Lmfao
i think this guys an independent
How can you tell?
He said he was an independent. But whats wrong with being indie?
@@dropdeadpretti1 who care if he said he's an independent? It's not about how you've chosen to affiliate yourself, it's about how i arbitrarily decide you are, and i say this guy is a republican
Lmao
At 1st I didn't believe you, but after 26hrs hours of scouring the web I finally found confirmation. Way to be a knower of things, my dude !
Paul's whole argument: "People who look like me and think like me are winners"....
This is just Gish Gallop.
Pure jibber jabber
Adderall Activism
Blabber mouth
Don’t forget the centrist brain disease
If AOC is such a " rockstar " and so " influential ", why would you not want her as a leader? Pretty nonsensical.
I been with majority report since 2015. They had barely 150k subs. Its awsome to see how the left had grown its influence.
Same, love them 😊
I remember when Kyle Kulinski had more subscribers than Sam Seder or David Pakman. They both now surpassed him even with his appearance in Joe Rogan many times.
@@liberalsocialist9723 he finally reached a Milly!!!
Paul: "Let me finish" (while he just interrupted Sam mid-point)
I would hope he lets other people talk on his podcast. He asks a question then just talks over Sam halfway through his first sentence.
Sam you have the patience of a saint! People like that frustrate the hell out of me.
I actually screamed at my monitor for him to shut up once :(
Wow what a softball debate. This dude calls himself an "independent ", while he sounds like and uses the same talking points as a run of the mill "moderate" dem.
Paul Rieckhoff makes for an infuriating guest because:
1) He talks over people.
2) He puts forth his own opinions as "facts" while dismissing any actually data Sam brings up. He doesn't like "exit data" or "googled data", but he's fine making points with just his own opinions.
3) He claimed Bernie was NO DEMOCRAT when it served him at one point in the argument, then in another he grouped Bernie in with the Dems as a negative.
4) He claims AOC is no Dem even though she is a registered Dem, then gets mad when Sam asks him to name who he would call a Dem.
5) No complaints about Spanberger trashing AOC and left for the House losses, but mad when AOC defends. AOC /left is supposed to stay silent while media builds on Spanberger's narrative that "the left" is the problem.
6) He makes it clear that you either agree with him, or you must want to burn the Dem house down and lose.
You will never win arguing against a person like this unless you get aggressive and make him PROVE his talk with data and keep to facts only, but Sam was being a gracious host.
Rieckhoff is essentially a moderate Republican that is upset that the current GOP has moved into authoritarianism, and wants the DNC to be the "new" moderate Republicans. He misses the obvious data points that Trump and the Tea Party DESTROYED moderate Republicans and chased out Boehner, Ryan, and all the other old moderates, and Pelosi got some things done, but is also responsible for Dems losing over 1000 state seats during Obama's term.
Rieckhoff is the type of person that thinks he has all the answers and will NEVER see big change coming. I bet he wrote off Trump back in 2016 because he was so extreme, but look what happened.
People don't want moderate- they want conviction. Pelosi is the past AOC is the future- but Rieckhoff has the exact OPPOSITE view.
Congrats on the 1M....
Paul is so inconsistent and yet everything proves his point... 🤣
1 MILL🔥🔥🔥🔥
Finalmente! Hasta la Victoria Siempre.
Wait wtf they went back down to 999k?
Is Paul being a satirical representation of why Democratic candidates lose? Out of touch, arrogant, think they know best 🤔
This guy reminds me of that one guy that calls onto the show and memes about being a old school democrat, except he’s a real person.
David Feldman?
How can you tell someone's an independent? Don't worry, they'll tell you
Stop letting him talk over & ramble.
Give him a warning then cut the mic.
Jesus idk if I can watch the rest of this. Stop letting him walk over you.
I think Sam knew this guy for enough years to know that no one would listen to him just by the sheer "turn off" of this guy's personality so he just let him run lmao
My blood pressure is going up listening to this dude. Not good in a country with 3rd world healthcare distribution
It's like watching the 1st presidential debate all over again, but worse.
Please never have this guy on again.
Love AOC
Does this guy talk over guests on his own show? He is so squirrelly.
No idea & I won't be finding out.
"In order to beat the Republicans Democrats must become indistinguishable from the Republicans." (Paul Rieckhoff, according to this train wreck of an interview)
Who's paying this guy to pose himself as caring about dems while consistently giving them the worst advice imaginable 🤔
This debate was in a dire need of a moderator...
Normally that's the host of a program, but if the guest is rude an entitled, then they just completely disregard the fact that a host is basically a moderator.
Guest is annoying. 'Let me finish', 'hold up', just talking over.
They all do that lol. That's how u know not to listen to them!
So Paul is saying that in Kentucky, the Democrats shouldn't have pissed away all that money to get Amy McGrath the nomination, and they should have gone with Charles Booker? Works for me.
oh christ this guy is insufferable
i'M AN INdEPenDENt
this is just my opinion as an independent who is not a democrat OR a republican, but a purple independent non partisan independent
This guy is a gigantic clown, and I can't believe I put myself through this again. I hope this guy is embarrassed, cause this was embarrassing. He should delete his social media.
Paul Jackoff, amirite
We are definitely all dumber having listened.
Just hand this egg his red hat and send him on his way
A a non american I always find it odd when AOC is described as an extremist. In most countries she would be a centrist politician. If a politician thinks people getting healthcare and decent wages is an extremist, then it is the political system that is extreme.
Preach!!!
'I'm an independent and we must run moderate candidates', yeah, no.
He loves moving that Overton window more to the right.
@@utubepunk exactly! As if the Dems haven't moved right enough.
This guy is the moderate that would allow slavery to continue because it doesn't Polamalu. He has no value
This Paul guy is unbearably obnoxious
“Let me make my point!”
*has no point”
Bernie Sanders and John McCain worked together to improve veterans benefits and didn't get all they wanted but highly respected each other after working together.
Dude cuts off Sam and the says “let me finish Sam”
This guy is the next wave of conservative grifters
1 million subs! Congrats Sam & Emma
Amy McGrath ran as a Democrat who was going to be friendlier to Trump than Mitch McConnell
In happier news, congrats Sam at 1 million!
What a rude guest. Please fix the audio system or fix the guest. So much of this back and forth is basically unlistenable.
If you tell loud enough, the built in audio normalization will make so you can’t hear the other people. This guy figured it out
I've never heard so much gaslighting.
This guy reminds me of a Facebook group i'm in called "white guys with bad facial hair and worse opinions"
Who's this clown?
This was a challenging exercise in not screaming and smashing my laptop. I miss Michael. Fuck.
Talk about NOT having a finger on the pulse!!!! He thinks his "15 years of working with democrats and republicans" earns him an expert badge🤣🤣🤣🤣.
This guy saying he has 15 years of experience listening to other people is ridiculous if he conducts all of his political conversations like this. What a nightmare
Florida - 15$ minimum wage and weed. ?? wtf Paul
I swear
This dude doesn't even know what he's talking about, about almost anything here.
“Stay with the corpdems or risk losing everything”
This paul guy doesnt have his own thoughts. Hes just arguing for the thoughts he thinks are popular but doesnt actually know if they are popular or not.
for gods sake pull him up as not allowing a debate or finish a point, he had priority speaker or your mic is bad sam
I noticed that too, every time Sam would try to speak his mic would short out if Paul was speaking at the same time. Paul was obnoxious, sheesh.
Unfortunately his mic has always been like that on video feeds.
Jesus, let sam talk. Is this guy worried sam will make a valid argument?
Hang on..Wait..Let me finish interrupting you.
Conservatives don’t get to define socialism or democracy and we can’t let them.
Discipline my foot. You are not disciplined enough , to let someone else speak, or finish their thoughts. So, I can’t get past that. Preaching what you don’t or can’t practice.
Strange cause this aged horribly for Paul here because he was wrong about both races in Georgia, and progressive wins are the only thing keeping the house in democratic hands
Dude needs to take a breath. It doesn’t make for an interesting conversation when someone takes a tactic of using all the air in the room. It works in a lecture but not in a “debate”.
If this guy gets invited back on, make him take at least 5 shots before he starts.
He needs to smoke a blunt
@@nicktrue7915 he also needs to stop being a centrist stooge.
