Hating cth has become the left edgelord equivalent of telling everyone you hate the beatles

no one here "hates" chapo we just think taking an hour out of their "busy" week to schedule an interview with Gravel would have gotten him into the debates and the price of "oh no the teens might embarrass us" was one they should have been more than willing to pay

I wonder if theres a gigantic difference between bernie sanders, the man whos running for president after a lifetime of activism, and some guys (and a gal) with a podcast.

I might shitpost and joke about killing bunnies but at least I'm not a bootlicking Uyghur concentration camp denier admin

Not interviewing mike gravel is a much more egregious crime against humanity admittedly. CANCEL CHAPO (not that I listen to or have ever listened to THEM)

why does everyone think this is a grift?

i've seen posts in here lamenting the lack of leftist think tanks, this actually seems like a good thing?

and they're donating the donated campaign money as promised, this isn't a grift, this is them trying to get involved in politics

like it's not world changing, but this seems like a net good thing overall?

Seems like they are donating all their funds to charity, and also are starting up a leftist think tank. Some people are conflating the two.

Unless it turns out later that they donated the funds to their new think tank, in which case it is a grift.

Looking professional when committing genocide is essential. This is mostly achieved by using a beret.

Olive drab colour ensures the genocider will remain hidden from his prey until it's too late for them to do anything.



the rude teens realized they might be able to lose their virginities to some tulsi staffers and we ended up here, loving hell
