It’s Tay :

Ezra Klein feels like he is trying to make necropolitics palatable, finding “normality” through “necessary” sacrifices of targeted groups

BP :

Ezra Klein is the epitome of white privilege.

cassmartinaudio 🏳️‍⚧️ :

Republicans are moving the goalposts squarely into fascism and the democratic party is just following them step for step shrugging like "well, they've left us no choice, so sorry everybody" and the *occasional* "hey, that's against the rules!"

mthead911 :

Best quote in the entire interview from Ta-nehisi: "Was silence not an option?"

Quajek :

Ezra Klein’s entire position was “Democrats can only win by adopting the least popular positions of the right wing.”

Zoë J. :

its literally "some of you may die but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make"

What I Wore NYC :

Thank you for summarizing.

Sia Mozaffari :

The most infuriating part for me was "MLK was killed preaching love" and Klein is like "Let me tell you about my mindfulness meditation practice tho" like helllloooo? are we on the same planet bro?!

That1BlackGuy/On YT As Well :

all i have is this image and its all i need

annahowardshaw320 :

Also: women’s bodily autonomy is always on the table for EK. Just a bargaining chip so men can maybe have slightly better housing zoning laws in blue states

BWShea :

geekgod808 :

Ezra wasn’t listening AT ALL 😑

Adeninsola :

“Some of you may die but that’s a sacrifice I am willing to make” - briefer Ezra Klein

Ashley :

When he started quoting Buddhist poetry after Coates said something really smart and profound I physically recoiled

Earth Is Raggedy :

Ezra perfectly represented everything that is wrong with the Democrat Party and liberal ideology. A bunch of capitulation, posturing, and white supremacy veiled as pragmatism.

Jim Gallo :

I don’t think Ezra Klein has it in him to consider that maybe he’s wrong.

Sierra :

‘I think we need to sacrifice the rights of women, queer, & black americans to guarantee the success of the democratic party’… like uhm okayyy.

Armen :

THEY'RE SUPPOSE TO BE FRIENDS TOO

crankybean369 :

it felt so weird to view Coates' view as fatalistic when, to me, I thought it was so hopeful. like.....how comforting to know that the struggle will continue beyond me. to know that just because I don't get to see it, doesn't mean that it won't happen

Sammy kk :

Ezra Klein is how the DNC leadership thinks. Instead of POLICIES that help people, they are prepared to jettison some folks.

Babette.ate.oatmeal :

Klein said, “don’t be so stuck in the past” then BROUGHT UP THE CIVIL WAR?!

Karim Sule :

Is Ezra Klein related to Ethan Klein

ashhhhen :

I found it very sinister when Klein said, sarcastically, “You keep putting it back on me here on the Ta-Nehisi Coates Show.” What I heard was a veiled threat - “Remember who’s really in charge here.” Sent a shiver down my spine

Princess of the North Bay :

Ezra Klein makes me appreciate how openly racist conservatives are, because at least they are honest about how they really feel. Crazy that Ezra is out here co-signing sacrificing minorities, poor people, and other needy people in society. Politics is not an intellectual exercise- it is a real world experiment where people suffer if the policies are bad.

QueenEtenesh :

Ezra is talking politics as this intellectual exercise and Ta-Nehisi is talking about politics & how it actually affects ppl in real life. Politics came off as a hobby for Ezra.
