Speaking of electoralism, hows Trillbillies handling this? I stopped listening right about the time Tarrence got busted for drugs because lmao that he went from talking about executing rich people to immediately cracking the moment a cop pulled him over for like a busted taillight

I just started listening since I needed more audio content to distract me from my trash job and its mostly them going insane due to coronavirus quarantine

i'm not even sure why that comparison is considered bad. tds isues (mostly bush to early obama era was the only time i watched it) was that yeah it was general daily mockery of media pundits and like lmao john ashcroft wants to cover up boobs on a statue, and this talking head said a dumb thing, insert smirking funny face. the thing is it never actually went anything deeper of actual people and societal issues, conveniently ignored all the idiot libs, and the only time it tried to do any advocation was ~rally to restore sanity~ garbage because it wanted to do ~we're a both-sides indenpedent centrism comedy show~

chapo generally does the same thing without any stupid pretense of trying to be ~independent both-sideism~, and more inclusive of the mocking the DC political elite westwing libs and goppers; lol david frum and matty ygglesia wrote a dumb thing; lol chris coons said seggregation is good; cnn is cutting off bernie. but also go out and canvass, phonebank, go primary pelosi, etc.

yeah i agree, and this might sound corny as hell to say, but i think chapo has done far more to raise political consciousness among its listeners and actually get them to get involved in politics whether that be local or national than the daily show ever did/has done

there's an E1 episode where felix plays an amazing knausgard-like character and surprisingly I think it's way before he got obsessed with the books

i tried listening to that but i could never get into e1


hope felix returns to this someday because the books (at least the first 5, can't vouch for 6 yet) are actually incredibly compelling, even if they're about the most mundane poo poo, and knausgard is a complete freak but also maybe the most honest person alive and imo genuinely interesting

Honestly Terrence sounds normal again now that hope has been extinguished but Tom and Tanya do seem to be fraying under quarantine and the media suck job on Beshear and I hope they don’t end up religious or sober or some other form of southern malady.

I kind of agree with Terrence too that that was the last chance for electing a social democrat and for M4A, now people need to prepare for poo poo to get much worse because there’s no way the right wing doesn't ascend during the coming crisis and clinging to social democrat positions post 2020 is a martyring yourself for a hopeless compromise.

Politics is the art of the possible. It was important to get Bernie in the Whitehouse, it doesn't matter if Joe Biden gets in the Whitehouse so they act accordingly. Being rigid and non-adaptive doesn't seem like a good strategy for American politics.

Of course not! But he should've had the wherewithal to not immediately own up that he had weed in his car. As i understand it, he offered that info up without even knowing what he was pulled over for or whether the cop was going to search his car.

Sounds like they've sort of chilled out though? I'll give them another listen in a couple of weeks once everyone has fully done their Bernie postmortems, myself included

I can sympathize with that because I tried to lie out of that and all it got me was a cop mocking me and not letting me call my GF until they kept me in a cell all night.

this is a fair point. the daily show /was/ funny during the bush years and only got kinda bad when obama took office

this comparison would work better if bernie became president, though i guess you can talk about them overly hyping the bernie campaign as a light version of it

Revolutions is the first to come to mind but it's not so tightly paced/edited. Blowback is extremely good at that. Those bleak musical scores at the end :kiss:
