Not voting is dumb but that's just my dumb opinion. Vote Ed Balls if you are honestly disgusted by real choices.

I wish the American Sniper ep was a bit longer and went more into Chris Kyle. Also if it had Jesse Ventura impressions.

One thing I didn't agree with in the premium ep was the "Americans are too pampered, no one's gonna be in the streets" probably applies to some people, but I think black folks, Native American folks have shown that they will get out in the streets. Hell, Trump got scared out of chicago by demonstration from a coalition of Fight for 15, BLM and other activists.

also completely disregards militias, which are feeling extremely impowered due to the Bundys

are there many people afraid of actual coup attempts, or are people just maybe worried that the white nationalist who spent his entire campaign shouting 'YOU ARE HEROES FOR HATING THE MUSLIMS AND MEXICANS LIKE ME, IF ANYTHING EVER DOESN'T GO YOUR WAY IT'S BECAUSE 'THOSE PEOPLE' RIGGED IT, ALSO JEWS BUT I GOTTA BE MORE SUBTLE ABOUT THAT' probably just emboldened the types of people who, say, burn a church or mosque down.

Also SHE SHOULD BE IN JAIL and now they are chanting EXECUTE HER

Like you don't have to be a scared lib to think that SOMETHING will go down. These people are far too riled up and emboldened by a major party's Presidential candidate to just settle for the results. It is really my only sour point of this podcast is that they are too eager to poo poo on everyone and everything without thinking maybe there is something there to be looked at.

Have they ever talked about Cenk Uygar denying the Armenian Genocide on the show?

Why would they? That is like, forever ago, and he changed his mind and apologized. Dig enough on anyone and you'll find something dumb they said or thought. He runs a good, honest business and actually gets involved, unlike a lot of ironybois (@PissPigGranddad being the best and most extreme example). You may not like him, but he has done more to broadcast leftist views than anyone. The left needs a loudmouth.

I have no idea what Chapo or leftist Twitter does to get invovled locally in politics, but they honestly should, or at least push people towards doing so. There will never be a better time.

cenk uyghur is somewhat constrained in how much he can acknowledge the armenian genocide anyway; he still has family in turkey and probably likes to visit from time to time. if he full on went out and said "the ottomans did the genocide, they killed millions" then his family would almost certainly face official harassment and he might be in legal trouble in turkey whenever he goes back

"i was wrong to deny it, but who can realy say what happened" is some weaksauce poo poo but understandable in his specific context imo

anyway excited to listen to the new episode later tonight

I think they want to empathize and help with the plight of a rural working man, which is great, but living it is another thing entirely. You could feel it when they were talking about Bernie in his 20s living in abject poverty and comparing it to stealing/borrowing Wifi or a Netflix password, which is just simply not the same.

Also while I agree with most of what Connor Kilpatrick was saying, if you follow him on Twitter, it is fairly obvious he doesn't know how to relate either.

If Jacobin and the DSA really want to push the party left, they really need to dumb down their approach, because no working man alive gives a gently caress to know what neoliberialism or marxism or whateverthefuck is. Twitter is a platform like any other to get a message out, and acting like this will be a huge turn off. The circlejerk needs to end eventually or else they are just going to end up as king of poo poo mountain when a huge opportunity was at their feet.

Hillary's loss is more of a massive strategic failure than a total rejection of liberalism. She wasn't a good candidate but she could have easily won by not pissing money away and doing a normal ground-game.

Not really sure I agree. Trump had near-zero ground game outside of rallies and merchandise hocking, and won basically on free press and personality. Maybe WI and MI could've been saved, but she did hit PA often and still lost.

I don't think you mean to do this but you kinda saying votes in cities don't matter as much as more exburb/rural votes. Hillary lost because people didn't like her, and no amount of press or rallies would change 30 years of mudslinging. The one thing the GOP has is a reliable base that will vote R, seemingly no matter what, and that is exactly what happened. Trump got almost exactly what Romney got. I figured she would win based on 2012 turnout alone, since Trump was so toxic, and I was completely wrong. She really was a much much worse candidate than I had thought.

Remember when Hillary marched with all those women in DC? Oh yeah me neither.

Honestly Daou is worse than some of the worst Deplorables/Trumpites when it comes to complete delusions of their candidate.

I still think it was a bad idea for Hillary to be attached to the women's marches since it would give Trump an out that it was a bunch of sore losers, so I will give her a break on that one, plus it's best if she just goes away
