God i wish this happened so bad

kelsey

Lmfao my comment did not age well.

Reece Coren

but imagine the clips we could’ve gotten from it

Timmy

The episodes are better now that amber isn’t in them, pls keep that way

Baron

Amber would be fun in the D&D series

Dylan

Rare Amber

Ian Priest

Hey! Amber's back - bet comments gonna be *extremely normal*

Timmy

Hope it stays rare

john mccainus

"teamsters for trains" is a very funny idea

Michael

If he's another "progressive" running as a democrat then he can get fucked. Don't vote for Democrats, period. No matter how progressive they claim to be. Don't be a fool. A Jacobin endorsed DSA democrat isn't worth electing lol How many times do people have to learn that lesson?

Isaac Jones

State elections are not federal elections. Actual meaningful work can and is being done at the state level, this local shit is exactly what we should be replacing our federal obsession with

Scott

The more Amber the better, and Paul is one of the strongest and clearest young voices on the left

Baron

Of course Amber has to go nuts on Defund again, gotta love locking hopeless people up

Michael

If you're running for a state election that's great. If you're doing as a democrat, you can go fuck yourself. If you have to run democrat to stand a chance at winning then you've already lost lmao no working class people will ever be helped by a "progressive" democrat who wants to tax fracking lol

Isaac Jones

We really got 3 Amber episodes before we got Poppy Part 3, huh? I swear to god if we get inebriated past Mormons part 2 before Poppy 3 I will keep complaining

Evan Scott

i'm a dc33 member, we elected a new president last year and kicked out the 30 year incumbent patronage president. ernie didn't seem very interested in electoral politics, or much of anything outside of getting better contracts and being more responsive to the membership, paul must have really put in the legwork to get that endorsement.

Electoralism episode: I sleep/Amber episode: I sleep

Island boyyyyyy

Mr. Lobotomy

The Two-Party system?! “Can’t Truss It!”

Dick Van Sexel

Just had to dash in and throw shade. Couldnt even hold out for an hour after it posted. Wonder what makes amber so different and intollerable. The world may never know...

Timmy

Her jokes aren’t funny and her talking points are tired, it’s not that mysterious

Dick Van Sexel

What ever you say tim tim. Thats why shes out there getting paid to write and make jokes, while were in the comments... Cause shes not funny or insightful.

Grant

Shout out Amber, hope you are well. Enjoy your writing.

2026-09-17 02:00 Amber sounds smug as ever. Also the Leigh Phillips article wasn't about listening to workers, it was about listening to *him* and using workers as a means to get to his priors, which ends up being in service of continued FF burning. Additionally, the FF unions e.g. in Illinois came to the table *bc* they were "on their back foot" and had been forced into crisis mode by enviro groups and market factors. They were forced to the table and that's why they were able to iron out better terms for themselves. FF reduction has only happened so far when FF union workers (which only a small % are unionized still) are on their backfoot unfortunately. I hope this changes and they will instead lead the charge in the future. You can still recognize the necessity of respecting their skills and fighting for a just transition, but there has been a very specific order to how these clean energy wins have played out so far. Anyways, love Paul and hope he wins and will be donating to his campaign.

The beating object should be batteries, just like Santa

Chris Warren

Amber continues her reign as Best Chapo.

BROTHER TO BROTHER

Bet this guy has dm’d amber a bunch and gotten no response

Matt Crossin

You shouldn’t replace a federal election focus with local elections - elections are elections. It’s not how change gets made. That’s only ever been done through direct struggle against capital. Not going to change just because it’s hard!

alex miller

ok but she's actually right. If you don't know why she's right, you aren't listening to people in areas with crime

Baron

1) I got my catalytic converter jacked last month by a ring of mechanics that the city police have been useless in tracking down, so no 2) it’s horrendously superficial class analysis to conclude that policing has ever mediated or resolved the lumpen fragment of working class communities. Yeah Philly’s a mostly working class town, but so are Buffalo, Detroit, and plenty of others with stronger welfare programs so why do they have significantly better conditions of crime? It’s definitely not because their cops are any more meaningfully meaner or well-funded. If you’re drowning in worsening conditions, and all you’re offered is a rusty hook for a lifeline, of course you’re gonna fucking take it. We have to be the adults in the room here, and realize that the offered solutions by the state are always gonna be bullshit, and that absolutely includes reactionary suburban-living cops who never think twice about using force on hopeless people. It’s worth it for us to find an alternative to policing.

Sam Zeng

I can guarantee that those gas workers are not going to be for a green energy plan. Even if the union participation rate is 100% they would still strike it down and if anything vote for the GOP. Oil is bring home paychecks and green energy is not. To build the type of relations that people can depend on and work off it is going to take decades, its starting from zero. I hope Paul wins and make meaningful inpact on his community.

Aaron Baer

Timmy do you like sex with women or do you indulge in 21st century debauchery / deviance ...

Baron

Fully agree, everything post-Bernie has pushed her to a position of tailism, and it’s been an incredibly tedious version of that tendency to say the least.

T

I preordered and got a message saying it's been pushed to 2023. Somehow it already has 3.7/5 on Goodreads.

Queermunist

I'm skeptical. Unless green energy jobs pay BETTER than and employ MORE than dirty energy jobs, those workers are a lost cause. They have no immediate material reason to support even a slow transition because transition represents risk, and risk under capitalism can be a death sentence for workers. That means that subsidising wages and guaranteeing employment - not things that can be done within the Democratic Party. Please prove me wrong.

alex miller

Look, do you want the inner city to join a movement or not? If you don't care, keep pretending defund-the-police is a good slogan. I'm not saying policing is good in any way. I'm saying, if you want to reach these people you have to understand what they want. And right now, they want anything that they think will help, including police. I'm in Milwaukee and I see it: https://www.facebook.com/tra.dent/posts/4519998528068006 They're calling for more policing, more strict fines and sentences, but also more resources in and after jail. It's not as simple as you might believe. People will ignore your message if you don't understand their pain and suffering. No offense, but your catalytic is nothing compared to someone's son.

James Murray

I'm always puzzled by the people who are patrons for this podcast but hate Amber and her opinions. It seems like it's the majority of people who comment too lol (which ig makes sense, the people who comment are the angry ones). Really I think if you averaged all the hosts' views into one person, I think they'd just be Amber's. She's just the most straightforward of everyone. Anyways, hope to hear more Amber soon. Looking forward to the book!

Maxkrause817

I do it listen to amber episodes Bc she sucks her voice sucks and u can’t make me

Sam Zeng

You are correct. Those jobs need to exist first. I would not expect unions to be leading the charge in terms of green energy. If anything the opposite. Unionization in NA has been largely skilled labour in a few sectors and this resulted in conservative unions. As the economic question has been removed and replaced with cultural ones they have been more aligned with GOP. The average union foreman is your MAGA uncle.

Aaron Christmas

I always enjoy Amber's episodes but don't feel the need to comment often. Trolls always feel the need to comment

Nate Decker

Great interview, I live in North Philly so I’m not really in dudes area but it’s still cool to hear that awesome things are happening with labor and the left in Philly. I love these interviews that Amber does, I learn a lot and it shows a way to make political change happen. Sometimes things seem a bit hopeless and determined but these interviews always show that things are happening.

Adam W Johnson

I didn't mind amber until the blue lives matter episode with Taibbi's dumb ass

COM

Paul is possibly the best candidate running for state office right now, solidarity from Buffalo!

J.P. McD.

k don’t say “listen to x” tho

J.P. McD.

I requested the library to buy it and they said has to be within 2 months, so I embarrassingly resubmitted in December without realizing it had been delayed and got rejected again

M.R. Alchemist

What's with the grad student hate? I fucking TA two courses and 90% of my income goes to student loans and rent, is this not working class enough?

Scott

Lol Amber rules

Hell yeah Philadelphia school district represent. I probably inspected his classroom at some point

Shake zula

So you're saying those goggles are also functional too? 😍

Amber is great. I stan Amber

big microbe

Always nice to learn about the good state-level candidates in PA, keep it up Amber

J

What’s the name of the song with the mango wood they referenced?

Kinetics Video

Policing seems like a really hopeless issue most of the time, so I don't know what would work, but honestly getting pretty sick of this "listen to lived experience" line. Poor people have had their brains melted by cop shows, the MCU, and boomer Facebook like everyone else.

CT

Oh cool, well now your cred certification cred is solidified. Jfc.

CT

Why should anyone believe you when all you’re doing is speaking in hyperbolic histrionics? PROVE YOUR FUCKING POINTS OR STFU. I live in the district that would vote for this person AND I’m a 18+ years long union worker. WHO winds up in this seat can mean the difference between my union getting the funding it needs for a training center and or getting fuck all. So kindly make salient points or GET FUCKED.

Michael

Chris you're delusional lmao and you're union is fucked if you're relying on a democrat. I'm sorry you're fucked, but don't be angry at reality. The point IS proven, it's been proven time and time and time and time again. How many times does your dumbass need to learn this lesson? If they're running as a democrat, they're not a friend to you or your union, no matter what social democrat bullshit they promise on the campaign trail 🤷‍♂️

CT

That’s your takeaway Baron? What are you, 12? I live in west Philly proper and can assure you, “defunding the police” is not an issue that wrings out with anyone in the community that isn’t A) some nerd ass performative “leftist”, or b) some lame ass academic that works for Penn in some manner. So, foh with your bs

Jenny K

Its a shame the only woman on Chapo is openly hostile to large parts of leftist coalition.

Jenny K

Its fair to say other members are at times hostile to certain parts of the left but Amber has consistently bad takes with reference to people to the left of her. Its not just trolling. Im not saying she is inherently bad but she needs to reconsider her hostility towards parts of the leftist coaltion I find the ways she addresses certain groups dismissive at best and legitimately offensive at worst.

00000000000000000000

Its a shame she's doing the obligatory hey-let's-interview-some-stupid-Democratic-politician segments and not on the main podcast. Don't know what "leftist coalition" is.

CT

lol. Bong-bong strikes again!

kelsey

I would love to see an interview with John Fetterman.

J.P. McD.

The horrendous “Money on the Left” (formerly Superstructure) podcast was so mad about this when they ambushed Matt on their pod in late 2020

Hector Jaime

Amber! Amber! Amber! Also thanks Paul; I now finally know how to pronounce “cadre”.

Hector Jaime

I guess. All I know is that poor Hispanic immigrant farm workers in towns in the California Central Valley who lost their police departments due to funding want those police departments back.

bruce

it would seem that the response to obviously propagandized people pushing back against your rhetoric shouldn't just be "well i guess that policy is where we give up", yes. you know what else americans hate? socialism

bruce

Wow I don’t fucking care

bruce

That’s not even close to an accurate statement

bruce

Yeah my eyes nearly rolled out of my fucking head
