I’m glad I’ve evolved past this stuff. Now I wonder how do liberals lap up this clickbaity political horse race slop?? (thelemmy.club)

I tried watching him again but the lack of class consciousness and understanding of imperialism is insufferable now that I’ve read theory. Only some videos seem worth watching but it’s really not worth finding the corn kernels in the libshittery…

I have to give him and Breaking Points some credit in pushing me towards ML ideas during the 2020 Dem primary season.

    Same, he did help me evolve politically early on. But once I moved past socdem, videos like his started looking very shallow and meaningless. Last I knew / can recall, he was one of the founders of the Justice Democrats, which was an attempt to elect some more "progressive" people into the democratic party and move it further left in a style similar to the Tea Party with the republican party? Justice Democrats did manage to elect a handful of reps to congress, but I don't think it went much of anywhere beyond that.

    If his livelihood wasn't tied up in electoralism coverage, maybe he would have looked at the failures there and moved further left.
