Alexi McCammond discussing Dem primary race on Nicole Wallace-MSNBC earlier today

Did anyone watch? She works for Axios.

I don't want to judge her overly harshly because I've only seen her a few times. But, frankly, my inner voice was screaming at what seemed to me her incredibly simplistic viewpoint and what seemed to be overwhelming naivete'. To me, she came off as taking everything at face value and seemingly without questioning anything. I feel like those she was interviewing could have told her almost anything and she'd report it. Am I just having a bad day? Here's the video of at least part of the interview:

I think so. Wait, no, it's definitely you.

She seems like the typical fresh young face so many media outlets like putting infant of a camera.

Were you expecting intellectual rigor or something?

While she's no better than most, she's no worse either.

Welcome to the vacuous media coverage of the 2020 election.

they brought up most often was Michelle Obama?

So they want Michelle to run, but with Trump's policies?

What planet did she find these people on?

then mention my beloved FOREVER FLOTUS Michelle Obama and the phrase "presidential candidate." Phuck NO!

America didn't deserve President Obama and definitely doesn't deserve Michelle Obama. She's too good for us. She can't fix our lack of civility, our stupid obsession with body brands, our rejection of objective reality, e.g. facts. our love of criminals, their depravity and debauchery. She can't fix our desire to treat our own well being safety, health, and well-being like a bad reality show.

America has 22 Democratic candidates to chose from. Pick one and commit to vote for whoever wins the nomination.
