Peter Rothpletz is hot shit. The commentary writer has appeared in The New York Times, The New Republic, The Hill, MSNBC, and The Guardian. He is the morning newsletter chief for Mehdi Hasan’s Zeteo, and the Senior Writer and Producer for The Don Lemon Show.
When Rothpletz first appeared on Sex & Politics in November of 2024, it was a different world. It has now become clear that in order to win back power, the left needs to play to win, and Rothpletz advocates for more aggressive tactics.
He and Dan chat about bringing a butter knife to a bazooka war, how journalists are under threat, and how the left needs to re-learn how to act strategically.
The only point of disagreement? Rothpletz thinks you should not sleep with an AI tech bro. Dan thinks that if he’s hot enough… maybe you should.
