eh, while I lock horns with the far-left, as you can see I don't buddy up with the far-right either. Derail that thread all you want, right-wingers like Tim/Quence are too much.

I subscribed to MeansTV. If I stay subscribed will depend on if they are openly anti-white/label people fascists etc etc. Finding good left-leaning channels that don't lean too heavily into identity politics isn't easy.

The Young Turks, they figured out they have MAGA listeners. Instead of attacking them, TYT explains to MAGA how various things Trump does hurts the country. Same for the Jimmy Dore Show (minus conspiracy theories LOL.)

Hopefully MeansTV doesn't disappoint. I wonder if the are on Rumble, I hate giving YouTube my bandwidth.

means has an app with a sliding "pay what you can afford, and if it's zero that's fine" scale
there's a lot of variety on said app. big fan of teenage stepdad (who does the graphic design n makes a solid amt of memes in general) n his "seize the memes" show as well as "matewan: history from below" which is a coal mining town that still has bullets from the union shootouts in their post office building but that history isn't taught in schools cuz it doesn't fit the generosity from above narrative (you have the 8 hr workday cuz fdr, not cuz the working class uprisings, etc)
take some free teenage stepdad meme

politics i only listen to while driving or doing to something productive. what i dislike about politics is how tribal people are. it is like people are afraid to call out bullshit within their ranks. and because of that, nothing ever gets better.

personally i think humans are an inferior species, looking at everything, we can't be the best nature can do. i honestly believe we're going to destroy this world as we know it. we are only animals after all.

@minty when Letitia James was running for NY AG, she explicitly said she was going after President Trump. for that reason she was obviously going on a witch hunt. As TYT pointed out, now President Trump is doing the same, explicitly saying he is having the US AG investigate Democrat's and Epstein. Now President Trump is doing exactly what he said he was against. And anything the US AG finds is automatically a witch hunt.

well, yeah... trump has been a liar for decades. it's why i'm baffled anyone still takes the first thing that comes out of his mouth seriously

eh i don't take any politician seriously. but i'm glad some republicans like MTG are breaking ranks. it doesn't matter who gets elected - we're fucked.

well, yes... which is why i don't particularly focus on politicians, n aim more for mutual aid n specific policies... but lying abt the situation we're in or pretending that spending billions to abduct n deport a mexican woman who's in the process of showing up for her immigration hearing isn't helping either

deportations is one of the few things i think he got right. sorry but i will never be okay with open borders. within the US we have native american reservations and nobody demands they open their borders. we aren't labeling Mexicans in Mexico who protested Americans buying up everything as racist. in fact if Mexico passed laws to protect Mexicans from gentrification I would support that. Democrats made the choice to let people into this country illegally - they knew this would happen - and they didn't care. not only that, due to proximity, open borders are racist. it favors everyone who is close and discriminates against people who aren't close. and that is why we have a disproportionate demographic when it comes to illegal immigration. everything we hear is a lie.

bro dial back the democrats bs. if you go back farther george w bush loved mexico, pushed for good economic and social reforms with mexico, put in place programs to fast track citizenship for undocumented immigrants here and pushed through minority homeownership programs to help hispanics close out on homeownership.

it wasn't really until the koch brothers started heavily funding huge swaths of grift groups up n down the u.s. that made ppl care about 90% of these made up social problems.
