Warren would be good...probably too clever for the masses...that Pocahontas thing is nonsense
Sanders - yea probably best policies in my view apart from gun control
Biden - no fucking way
The rest are small fry

I don't know what that is but no the left left.

i will never watch this debate.

Yea but they got that woman from fargo so fine by me

Whether you like Zizek or not, putting Peterson in the same room as him is a win for Peterson.

They would only go for the impeach because it's a big yellow rubber duck that all the disgruntled libs can see and understand...this person is bad...we are not bad....but it's not a meaningful pull factor for voters...dems need to offer something more than moderation platitudes and the fantasy of a return to civility...
It's also an uphill battle that has literally been legally deemed mute by a 2 year investigation (yea yea barr 's partiality and muellers space for congress to act etc)
How about the best of both worlds a) keep the financial investigations rolling, tax returns, dodgy dealings (but dont make it all about just this) b) invest in a coherent meaningful policy package asap
Ou of that dem primary crowd, seriously there are maybe 2 or 3 that have a chance

Impeaching an idiot is a waste of time. Offer a solid alternative dems or deserve another loss.

Yea yea but it's just not entertaining enough
-
Vice - solid

Dems just can't handle Bernie's popularity...smeared from all sides
He got balls for sure...Fox town hall, released tax returns...over 70
-
I would add that fact checking has little bearing on any outcome
It’s an ideological battle targeted at base emotional responses
The truth doesn’t matter in the culture war

Barr mentioning trump campaign was spied on
Dems will always claim redaction means they still need more transparency
Trump claiming he’s exonerated
Trump refusing to release tax returns
Avenatti being charged for extortion
Obama counsel indicted for false testimony
Obama and Trumps immigration policies
The Democrat Republican status quo is poisonous
Dems are not as bad granted but they are hypocrites and have little moral high ground in this toxic political mess
-
Why isn't he releasing new stuff?
...some aces on this one..some clear experiments
-
Watching Noah...Netflix need to focus on 'good' films, rather than trashy instashite...
This one is such a weird effort
-
Mehdi Hasan / Al Jazeera are great too.
Especially Medhis interview slash grill show
See his recent Erik Prince interview for example
Deep connection with Trump there
Dirty shit

I have a question. Where do you guys get most of your news from? My favorite news source is "Secular Talk". I kinda iffy on The Young Turks.
Those are opinion sites though, not actual news sources.
It's all a spectrum of opinion
Some just more 'objective' than others...or less 'subjective'...or more subtly ideological
Here's my deep analysis...
Wapo - nice app interface
NYT - editorials often retch inducing
Financial Times - straight to the point and luckily free...solid podcasts too
Economist - felating the market since 1843....thorough
Best of the left...
Chapo
Jacobin
Novara Media
Intercept
I suppose for 'News' you can't go wrong with Reuters or the AP

One of the good Tories

The intensity of hipster nerdy favourites in that is a right turn off

The Ukrainians or the Brits? Tough call in stupidity stakes.

Politics Theory Other is great as is the connected Red Hacks where the presenter interviews lefty journos.
That Kim Stanley one was great. Top dude.
Really want to get into older classic sci-fi and he's up there on my list. Really neat intro to him, glad I stumbled upon it. Coincidently he has the same voice timbre and pleasantly aloof and eccentric vibe as a local DJ I like in Austin, John Aielli. He'll do a great interview then stumble around and say "gosh darnit" and fuck up a song queue despite working there since the 70s. John's also prone to rant about something he's skimming on wikipedia "look at how many varieties of coffee there are" or for no apparent reason make an excuse to play the theme from Twin Peaks or Bauhaus.
Sound like a good dj.

Hologram Beto O'Rourke will not stand a chance against Cunt.
Bernie maybe.

Giant Democrat Self Own
Gifting Trump a huge win.

digging this one
been screaming all day. wow she really clapbacked about antisemitism to a guy called "adam friedland"
man, did not pay attention to that but did come across the recent absurd victimization of her post-Mosque shootings, in which opportunistic "supporters" of her cried antisemiticism toward a cartoonist who himself is actually Jewish American
it's crazy how people will focus on some political heir's hurt feelings over a unflattering satire and confrontation with an activist over an actual ethnic massacre of 50 people
crazy that you can stomach the subreddit.
It's incredible how much more I enjoy the actual podcast, I'm basically ok with centrism as a compromise (actually centrism, not the 'enlightened centrist" of false equivocaty some are holding on to in the media) but christ almighty I can only read so much cynical dark humor before I feel like the left tearing itself apart is actually a thing the right is succeeding at

Now That Trump's President... (not any more!)
