I've changed my mind about progressive politicians appearing on independent news shows like mine. Let me explain why. A thread: I once thought our shows were just echo chambers that wouldn't help politicians reach the broad audience that MSM has/it didn't matter, but... 1/9

Does this mean you believe you should have approached more independent outlets when you were conducting your run, and that other candidates should do the same? Thanks.

I did some. But many weren’t interested; they considered me the “crystal lady.” Others apparently tried to get interviews and unbeknownst to me were turned down.

Not gonna lie, I was convinced by many progressive voices you were indeed the "crystal lady" and therefore not to be taken seriously before I started paying more attention and realized you were in fact a great ally to the left & made more sense than most "prominent" candidates ❤️

Those people who didn't should have. I have to admit I underestimated you at first and I apologize for that. Won't make that mistake again. Happy to have you as a progressive ally.

Unfortunately I think a lot of progressives didn’t take you seriously. A shame, but most see that error now.

That Chapo interview was incredible. I listened to it at least three times.
