Should the Left Care About 1/6 Committee Report?

This week, Jennifer Briney of Congressional Dish returns to the podcast to discuss her read on the 1/6 congressional hearings and report which she's been reviewing for one of her deep-dive podcast episodes. Some on the left have seen these hearings as somewhat of a distraction from more substantive, material issues. But is that a mistake? She explains what we should know and whether a populist movement must consider the "normie' appeal of holding Trump accountable.

Also, after watching the Dems OVERTLY rig their last two presidential primaries, their complaints about the fragility of "democracy" do not seem...genuine.

I’ve been listening to Jen for 7 years now and believe me: she gets it. If this is your first introduction to her and you’re suspicious: listen to congressional dish. I promise you she’s more thoughtful and principled than whatever your impulses are telling you from this sample alone.

Nick Grayson

Jen knew Russiagate was bullshit, Jen was a proud Jill Stein voter and Jen built the foundational understanding for the democratic motivations for Ukraine years before it materialized in a mainstream way just to name a few things. This woman may not identify as a “leftist” but she’s still one of the absolute best and brightest among us and no one should dismiss her or congressional dish before really listening to it.

She's had some great eps. I've listened to many. But this episode was painful and grim shitlib stuff

I’m sorry but who are you and what have you done of any substance, impact or significance that you feel confident enough to call my favorite podcaster a “shitlib?”

Cclear

She's done plenty of great episodes but this episode was shitlib stuff. I'm not calling her a shitlib. I haven't followed her enough lately to say that. I just know this episode was painful

How is it shitlib stuff? Have you even heard the CD episode on the riot? She has tons of sympathy and objectivity for the actual rioters, condemns the Democratic Party for labeling them domestic violent extremists and for working toward an agenda of domestic sanctions for protestors regardless of political affiliation that can be retroactive (something we should ALL care and be concerned about but don’t because then we have to admit the trumpies are also humans deserving of basic inalienable rights) and delivered a perspective wholly unique among the pantheon of pundits and commentators that get paid millions of dollars to regurgitate propaganda while she toils in obscurity and financial instability doing the actual hard work of reading laws and suffering through interminable C-Span coverage and actually reporting on it coherently that *no one* else on the left is willing to do. I don’t get into these online fights often but someone declaring anything Jen does in the “shitlib” category offends me on a level I didn’t know I was capable of feeling.

Nick we’re responding to this particular episode as BF subscribers. I guess you agree with us that her 1/6 take is cringe so you’re telling us to keep quiet until we listen to everything else. Is that your point?

Nobody’s dismissing her or congressional dish. We’re dismissing her 1/6 obsession as evidenced in this particular episode. Which is kinda the point of this comment section.

Nick Grayson
>>98766625

You can say whatever you want but I am going to interrogate whether or not you actually believe it and defend an actually important person who does a thankless job that deserves respect you’re shamefully unaware of.

I’m sorry “obsession?” She barely talks about it. It was the focus of *this* episode and even she admitted she had holes in her understanding and hasn’t finished watching all the hearings. You can feel however you want to feel about January 6th but if someone calls Jen a “shitlib:” I’m in full “check yourself before you WRECK yourself” mode and won’t stand for it.

This was a fabulous conversation. It doesn't surprise me that dems botched the Jan 6 hearings and the impeachment. Jen is an amazing guest and I want to see her back

A great episode to begin 2023! All Americans should care about the outcome of the January 6 Committee Investigation. From the shocking revelations it is now apparent that there was a conspiracy to subvert the will of the voters. Everyone who took part from Trump at the top to the lowest cadre at the bottom must be held accountable so as to send a strong message that this will not stand. Vice has done expositions on how there is an ongoing scheme by the GOP and Far-Right public figures like Steve Bannon to install stop-the-steal election deniers in positions of power at the grassroots in multiple states and set up 'sleeper cells' which will be activated in 2024 to frustrate the electoral process at local levels. They aim to do this in places that are potential swing states/districts. If this is not blown out of the water this year the election next year will be chaotic and instead of storming the Capitol in DC people may sack their local legislatures. *** A proposal for Briahna and the production team: Please consider making a '2022 highlights reel' of 5-minute snippets taken from the most popular (or even all) episodes that aired in 2022. Particular moments to select from each episode can be the discretion of the producer or issues most talked about in the postmortem call-in shows or even what gained traction in the comments section. For reference, Coleman Hughes' podcast (on which Briahna was a guest last year) has made a 2022 highlights reel of select episodes.

No. Jan. 6th, a protest turned riot, was allowed to happen by the police, and was likely encouraged by the deep state. It's a distraction, not an insurrection .

Note to self: talk about Andy Biggs more...

It could function as both. "Coup" didn't work but let's encourage these rioters etc

I think this episode illuminates a difference between Bri and Jen. Bri talks about persuading Republican voters to support candidates like Bernie. I assume Bri would agree that low income voters should be appealed to because leftist policies would benefit them most. Jen seems to favor persuading higher income Republicans who she sees as good people who just want their taxes to be lower. This is illuminating because a true leftist might see taxation as a fundamental issue.
