uber_stoat posted:reminding me of that article Amber wrote about how she hates masks and it's weird that some people actually like wearing masks (no one likes it, they do it because they are trying to do the right thing). not going to lie, but I kind of like the idea of wearing masks in public

Very, very tough. We're entering savage new times, and we're going to have to be pure and direct and strong, if we're going to survive them. Now, you and this cesspool you call a television station and your people who wallow around in it, your viewers who watch you do it, they're rotting us away from the inside. We intend to stop that rot.

Becoming an "ancom" who believes in russiagate and was planning on voting for Warren. he completed the Warren voter trajectory by dropping Warren and scolding for Biden

There are 81 representatives in the House Progressive Caucus. The fact that not even any five of those 81, including the supposed most left members, can be bothered to apply pressure to the dems speaks volumes for their supposed progressive views. When the progressives do start talking or pressuring, their focus is against the left and their stated goal is to stifle any progress outside of appeals to work within the system. Dore is demonstrating that this is true and remains true and will be true in the future. Regardless of the success or failure of M4A, he has been successful in getting the progressives to show to the world that they fight the hardest against progress.

Gripweed posted:If you believe that the Republicans will sweep the midterms in 2022, then why do you want AOC to lay the groundwork for primary challenges now? If it's successful and we get a bunch of better Dem candidates in 2022, wouldn't that backfire spectacularly when they get trounced by Republicans in the general? one of the marvelous things about this particular brain worm is that it implicitly discards the notion of any "pushing biden left" happening before 2022

thotsky posted:Remember, up until then Trump had enjoyed quite a bit of support in his party, among police and military, and tactic approval from capital / the media elite by allowing him to stoke the fires on a daily basis. Also, far right coups are kor exactly unprecedented... It was very unlikely that a coup would succeed as Trumps influence took a major blow after the election loss, and because of how balkanized the US is, but I don't think it is delusional to have a dramatic reaction to the attempt. also trump is pathologically incapable of the kind of focus or commitment or avoidance of self sabotaging necessary to pull off a coup. if he had any of those virtues he would have just been able to win the election normally. if trump had given the people money in october he would have won in a historic landslide. this probably never occurred to trump as an option.

I was working backward in the Podcasting is Praxis catalog and got to their 2020 election analysis. I had to turn the podcast off when one of the hosts sincerely put forward the idea that Noam Chomsky scolded for biden not because he was going to vote for biden, but purely as PR so that other people would vote for biden, and that this was smart and good. All the episodes can't be winners I guess. Whenever I hear someone begin claiming that the existential fascist threat can only be averted by voting for joe biden, I think of the squirrel lady scolding video.

Ytlaya posted:There's a subset of leftists who sort of have leftist values/goals in a broad sense, but do so from a perspective that is still defined by liberal narratives. It was fascinating, but not very enjoyable, to hear from the mouth of a leftist political comedy podcaster a ferocious defense of Joe Biden. I despise individuals who scolded for joe biden. All of the leftist commentary on society and politics was just a mask and beneath that was the same old liberal seen everywhere else.

Listening to "Well There's Your Problem" and it is pretty good. Two annoyances though is the host with the chronically clogged nose and when the hosts go on extended riffs. DoNotEat01 is normally pretty good at getting the other hosts back on topic though.

Figureheadism must be universally rejected. Falling in line behind politicians without question only makes us another liberal non-profit rather than a nexus of leftist organizing. Healthy skepticism and distance between our organization and candidates seeking our endorsement allow us to remain independent, avoiding the pitfalls of other organizations that ‘hitch their cart to a horse

Xaris posted:DNE Is good but Alice is really not the right fit for it. I like her a fair bit in TRASHFUTURE (a good pod), but just the wrong energy for WTYP. I think DNE's best stuff is his solo-work myself, although I understand the appeal of having co-hosts but some of my favorite pods are like MSJ's Death is Just Around The Corner, richard wolff's economic update, or gh0stpinstaball's Ghost Stories for End of the World, and they're just 1-man shows and I think would be worse with active co-hosts trying to joke around. i think WYTP would probably be better served by say... the energy and dynamic of Car Talk hosts. basically just clone DNE and put it on as a co-host. WTYP would be worse if I couldn't listen to it on my computer and jump past tedious derails and riffs. Alice is not so bad on some episodes, but on others I've stopped far before the end because I was tired of her commentary. Economic Update is great stuff. So is Ghost Stories for the End of the World. Ghost Stories is coming back in June, btw. Agreed with both of these shows being stronger because there is just one host. The host being independently able to speed up or slow down their narriative or emphasize how they wish is a noticeable advantage over a multihost format. bedpan has issued a correction as of 04:25 on Apr 14, 2021 |
