yeah the weird griping about the american left following sanders' concession seems odd to me. it is stronger than it has been at any time since eugene debbs' runs, possibly ever, and is well positioned to capitalise on the dog's dinner being made of everything by the bourgeois governments of the world

This is powerfully stupid.

Early 20th century you had a communist party at the height of its power, mid-20th century you had the civil rights movement, the anti-war movement and the Panthers. The fall of the socialist governments in Eastern Europe disemboweled the US left and we're right now, maybe, seeing a tiny resurgence.

Yeah, I can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong with being the Daily Show for Leftists, because the only thing I remember being wrong with the Daily Show was the actual centrist liberal technocratic politics underneath the format. Now, if Virgil gets a show on MSNBC...

I was thinking about what you said about how many American leftists come to class consciousness backwards, through idpol stuff, and it's like...maybe this isn't idpol, but it's really frustrating to me that "I won't vote for a rapist" is effective in shutting people down in a way that "I won't vote for a war criminal," "I won't vote for the architect of the carceral state," etc. is not.

amber's position about how most people are instinctively distrustful of the mainstream media was dumb as hell imo, glad matt pushed back

I think most people think they're distrustful of the media, but lack the media literacy to perceive the ways they're being influenced.

In my anecdotal experience, many liberals generally have a certain understanding of what "propaganda/bias" is that is centered around the sort of flashy/"un-serious" presentation you see in places like Fox News or tabloid newspapers. But they don't really understand that propaganda can also use a serious tone and include facts in it. For example, I consider my dad to be a sort of template of a certain subset of boomer liberals, and I'm pretty confident that a serious-sounding documentary could persuade him to believe just about anything.

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, "The Daily Show, except with good politics and actual funny jokes" would be fine

Yes, while it's convenient in this specific election, it's concerning in the sense that it's very easy to imagine the Democrats running "Elizabeth Warren, except competent" and pulling in all of these people (plus a significant portion of people like the Warren supporters who switched to Bernie later in this primary after she did too many bad things*).

* this was actually better than I expected, though; I did not expect a non-trivial amount of Warren supporters to actually abandon her once she walked back MfA or made that false accusation against Bernie

Its good, lots of talk about what Teamsters are doing to protect people during the pandemic as well as ways to support them. Also some discussions of their internal politics including the possibility of more hardcore trade unionists taking control of the organization through their internal elections.

It was very interesting and its clear that part of the point of the interview was to show where the left can put their energies in a post-bernie coronavirus-current world.
