Do these people think this is some novel idea? I can't help but feel that the author's obsession with "monopolies" rather than big business or whatever is not exactly pro-single payer or pro-government services. But maybe that's just my own personal paranoia.

They are a protest of the party in its current state and a reminder that the party enjoyed great success when it stood up for the working and the poor. I mean, a non-trivial amount of libs are now basically Reaganite Cold Warrior types that cloak it with diversity talk. That's not going to work.

If it's the new deal, then yes they stood up for white working class and poor people. The coalition fell apart once LBJ pushed through the CRA.

Eleanor Roosevelt certainly helped, although it's worth noting that GOP candidates would love to get as high of a percentage of black votes as Nixon received. The trend started in the 1930s, but the Dems didn't truly capture the African-American vote until Goldwater.

Almost completely reversing polarity on a party in the space of a single election is not a "trend", and saying it was because FDR's wife pied piper them into it is fuckin' insulting. Anyway this is the Chapo thread, it's supposed to be lighthearted and fun, and you're not going to convince me and I'm not gonna convince you. I just hope you won't convince anyone else. Dropping it.

Ya having a first lady in the White House who was speaking out very publicly about civil rights is clearly my saying that she led them to the party like a mythical character leads rats into the sea. Chapo content, for those that didn't get enough in the 2 minute clip from the episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FDVkLDElFok And for those wondering, they didn't have to do too much to pull some really awful material out of this.

Didn't Dan Nainan have an email exchange with Marc Maron a few years ago offering to pay Marc to let him on his podcast? I'm sure it was Dan Nainan, or some other dude who does heaps of shows in Dubai for oil failsons. His emails sounded real kooky.

Just started listening to this cast, was pleasantly surprised to see @swarthyvillain is a co-host. I followed him on twitter then he disappeared, I never did the work to find out he went to another handle then got involved with this. Laughed a lot at the latest episode. Good poo poo.

I'm sure it was Dan Nainan, or some other dude who does heaps of shows in Dubai for oil failsons. His emails sounded real kooky. Yeah, as I recall, Dan asked to be on the podcast, back when Marc was struggling and WTF was still smallish and gaining steam. Marc said no, because Dan is a corporate comedy hack, not respected in comedy, funny, well-known nor interesting. So Dan of course takes it personally and offers Marc $10k to have him on as a guest, and Marc tells him to gently caress off because he has artistic integrity. Dan then shot off like an email a day for a week with pictures of his filet mignon meals on private jets in the middle east while doing his awful but lucrative 'my crazy immigrant parents' corporate comedy. Which he stole from Russell Peters, who in turn stole from Gina Yashere. He's done some obnoxious stuff without any self awareness, and he just doesn't understand why no other comedians like him. Like for a few years any misspelling of Russell Peters' website would link to Dan's (set up visually similar to Russell's), and he'd answer the phone pretending to be Russell's agent, and then say that Russell unfortunately isn't available for your gig but there's this other great comedian, Dan Nainan who's available and also 100% clean. Or with this whole Millennial Comedian thing, he's claiming to be 34 or 35 now, but he also won't abandon his 9/11 Changed My Life narrative. So if the Forbes journalist had done the back-of-envelope math at any point in the 40 minute interview, they would have figured out that 'Millennial Dan Nainan' was a 17 year old 'senior software engineer' when he saw the second plane strike the south tower from his corner office at Intel. It's a deep, fascinating well of unbridled narcissism.

i would love to see an alt right guest go on the chapo trap house. Mike Enoch or bulbusaur from the daily Shoah would be really great. They are both smart and funny so I think they might have a really good conversation on where we need to be headed. Kind of a dialectic between left and right

Yeah, and they're absolutely right. I'm fine with them owning Libertarian dipshits on their show, but Chapo's attitude toward debate is refreshing and I'm not interested in them going against that to host poo poo covered internet dullards on the podcast.

They actually tried to reason (heh) with A Serious Person at Reason magazine, and every question was met with "the department of education needs to go and I'm not that type of libertarian so I can't comment on it". The prominent alt-right figureheads do the same thing, but throw in a Heil for good luck from time to time; the two people that come to mind are Milo and Sam Hyde, both of them do the dumb song and dance to avoid anything resembling a question (I think Sam Hyde pretended to be his own publicist when being asked about MDE's TV show being canned). Like Dan Nainan would be a more honest debate participant.
