Many progressives always despised the Bernie Bro label which I'm now seeing the thinkpieces come to easy conclusions about with id over economy alienating the very young white men people are now obsessing over. But it gets to my problem with Chapo Trap House more broadly, which is that I could never picture them being successful once Bernie was out of the picture. Their success was never policy based, it was always as a cult of personality around Bernie. Pod Save America isn’t a left wing podcast, it’s never been that way. It’s always been solidly center/liberal/CNN garbage so to see their podcast get unanimously trashed for allowing that Kamala campaign interview is very nice. 1

But that will spark an Overton Window debate here where we can all eventually agree they're actually center right. I was just doing some psychoanalyzing…
Vermillion Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago Also it's one thing to allow the interview and another to hold feet to the fire, but that entire premise is flawed because we know they weren't going on any platform that would push them. Meanwhile, I now completely buy the New York Post reporting on Obama not wanting Kamala.

FameFatale Posted 2 hours ago Posted 2 hours ago There's a guy I kind of know through friends of friends that does doomsday political style videos on YouTube. He gets pretty good views on them and now he has switched to the Russian propaganda talking points recently. It's crazy how people fall into that and don't do research. It's going to be a big issue these next couple years. 1

David Pakman, and breaking points on YouTube. both were correct that trump was going to win before any polls showed up. Both channels really do care about the working class and its issues. the young Turks have never been respected. Anna basically ruined everything or any chance of that.
