Van Jones is one of the few leftist commentators who has at least tried to understand Trump’s appeal instead of writing off his voters as ‘deplorables’ or worse.
Posters are seeing this, too.
Looks like Van Jones actually is able to see the Trump phenomenon for what is. He comprehends what normal people see & understand in Trump.
Also what so many in the media and on the Left just can’t grasp or refuse to.

Van Jones to his credit calls out his side more than people realize, and will have honest answers every now and again.

At least they’re finally getting it. Man it’s been a long road.

It’s rare for one person in, or on the fringes of, legacy media to have a self-reflective moment, but for two to have self-reflective moments at the same time is unprecedented. It’s like setting up a night vision camera in a remote forest and capturing not one, but two Bigfoots on camera at the same time. Yes, it’s that unlikely.
Read on.
Yeah, but we’re actually watching these two men self reflecting in real time. The one guy just needed to hear the someone in his network say it out loud. You can tell he’d wanted to get it out, he could not physically contain himself to his chair when he finally says “you’re…

It’s almost like Van Jones is giving Chris Cillizza permission to say the obvious truth.
Van Jones has a thankless job. He’s spent years trying to convince ‘journalists’ and their fellow Democrats to not commit career and political suicide over Trump. We’ve seen how well that’s gone for them.
These posters have witnessed it.
Van Jones was the only one trying get the party to the center and act over a year ago but true this summer he really was lighting the fire and trying to even tell the people in CNN to knock off. TDS narrative took hold and a whole generation of journalist are now irrelevant

obviously my politics do not align with Jones but he has consistently called out the left and they ALWAYS shit all over him
he called out HRC in 2016, called called out woke in 2024 he called out hating white straight men on the left
and here he is admitting Trump has always…

Wait, aren’t these two part of the legacy media, you ask? Not really. Van Jones and Chris Cillizza have the luxury of not being tied to a particular ‘news’ outlet. That’s why this revelation was able occur like this. It’s unlikely to become widespread among ‘journalists’ and their fellow Democrats since it requires one to admit he or she was wrong.
