Vibe Check (with Tim Miller)
Ad-free edition
Unfiltered, uncompromising, unexpected—The Focus Group is a look into what the average voter thinks about politics, policy, and current events. Sarah Longwell, publisher of The Bulwark, has conducted hundreds of hours of focus groups all across the country. She and a series of special guests will take you behind the glass to hear what real focus group participants have to say.
As primary season winds down, Democrats are gaining ground in what was supposed to be a wave year for Republicans. Tim Miller joins Sarah to discuss the anti-abortion extremists endorsed by Trump, how Democrats are making Dobbs a game-changer, and the weirdo theory of politics.

Vibe Check (with Tim Miller)
Can we PLEASE stop calling them election deniers? They are Election Liars and should be referred to that way. Anything else implicitly confers legitimacy to their claims.
I think I had too much coffee this morning, lol. This sounds more harsh than intended. Great pod today with Tim!
While this Dem certainly likes the current vibes, there are some cross winds possibly approaching. Energy prices in Europe are starting to rise due to Russia and this may start happening here in Oct.
Plus Powell singled another big interest rate hike before the election. Could change or muffle some the good August vibes...
