    Ok, so as a less informed person let’s try to ignore the “gotcha” element of this and address it more directly. With your greater depth of background on her, what are your actual thoughts regarding her support for this person?

      Krystal Ball has been a progressive commentator for years. Check her wikipedia page, she has done and said a lot of stuff. In all of the things I have seen her fight for and cover in her work I have never seen her do something like casually defend a Nazi. Anything is possible but Occam’s Razor here is that she didn’t just abruptly decide to start publicly supporting Nazis and she sees this as an obvious blatant attempt to sabotage a candidate with politics she thinks will genuinely help americans vs Susan Collins.

      Krystal Ball is also married to Kyle Kulinski, another extremely consistent and longstanding voice of progressivism. They got married AFTER they had both become prominent progressives who publicly would stood up for their beliefs. Yeah, Krystal could secretly be whatever, but it doesn’t fit the facts at all to say so.
