Another Something is Possible feat. Ettingermentum
For this week's bonus, we're joined by US politics observer Josh (@ettingermentum), who runs the Ettingermentum newsletter. We're talking Bidenism, Starmerism, Bidenism Without Biden, the UK now having two parties who refuse to govern, Third Way guys advising the Labour Party on how to be more right-wing, and much more.

Didn't expect Charlie from Smiling Friends to be so coherent on politics
You can't be named "gock" in this day and age...
Please do a Mishcon de Reya episode. Signed A. Lawyer
Like Mad Cow disease, Starmerism was birthed from a herd that ate their own
Keir Starmer on stage at a Nuremberg rally, slowly raising his right hand and glancing at the crowd for approval
The outrage/pain in Riley’s voice at people being nice wine and NOT drinking it!!
Lovely to get someone on with a more reality-based take on US politics than the usual "Biden senile lol", more of that please
I listen to quite a few US left leaning podcasts and the “Biden senile” schtick is getting a bit old. TBH, at this point, it’s just really lazy.
I love my bike mayors who win elections despite the media pretending everyone hates them lol. I have one, I love her, she has a lot of flaws but she's our best mayor of recent memory
As an American I hope the bullying of Tories continues. If the left won’t succeed I’ll settle for a bloodbath on the right.
At least Starmer has going for him that he’s running in a virtually un-loseable election. Biden is doing the Starmer strategy of uncharismatically tacking to the right in an election that he is currently projected to lose! And he’s going to lose to the American Boris if Boris was dumb enough to get criminally convicted for something every millionaire/politician does. How fucking stupid is our country, good god…
Kier Starmer doing the into to method man has been rotating in my mind
Intro***
Gotta say, there would be something _incredibly_ on brand about Pete Buttigieg drinking from the puddle that proves you're not gay.
He’d drink to prove that gays can drink the puddle equally well.
I’m not an Ettingermentum fan, I liked you guys as always and this was a great episode, but I disagreed with most things he said about Bidenism and I hope he doesn’t become a regular guest
Yeah he his clearly out of his depth talking about british politics.
if Josh wants to do some real sicko shit he should read up on Australian politics from 2007 to around 2020. honestly zero stakes bush league shit but the figure of Malcolm Turnbull has some strong rishi energy.
Yukio Rishima
Sunakio Rishima might as well go as far as you can. Do either of them have middle names?
THE GOAT!!!!!
Oh shit
A lot of people don’t know this but the “K” in Warhammer:40K stands for “Kier Starmer”
Yooo this is one of those crossovers tailored to exactly me, let's goo!
