At least John Oliver has done some nice pieces about trans people I guess?
- John oliver did a segment about blackmailing a few republican senators. His show is deeply anti-corruption and the writers are as terminally online as I am.
- Yes, he has quite some good videos that critic the current system but he is by no means on the revolutionary left
  
  John Oliver is doing a hell of a lot more to help than internet self-styled "revolutionary leftists" are.
  
  He doesn’t seem like a total shitlib, unlike the other three. He seems like the perfect guy to make libs think a bit farther than they otherwise would, and I can’t exactly fault him for that.
- IIRC he said Universal health care is like the only option. I could be wrong but from what I remember

I will not rest until this country fully accepts Lockheed Socialism
- Yes yes we must nationalize Lockheed I agree
  
  1: Nationalize it
  2: Retrain its workers and give them jobs more beneficial to humanity and then
  3: Dismantle it

Nice username Mr xxxSexMan69xxx
- If you have 69 in your username, you are either 54 or 12. I do not believe OP is 54.
  
  No 12 year old is bringing up Sorkin’s The West Wing.

Our Praxis
- It was coming right for us!

Not the revolution we need but the revolution we get

“Is this a whole personality?”
- No, it's something you carry inside you. You know, values.

Jesus fucking Christ.
At least John Oliver is kinda alright.

Seems like this community really despises Vaush for no fucking reason huh
- I wouldn't say "no reason".
  I'm not gonna do a whole Vaush teardown here, but it's amazing how he always seems to align himself against a lot of the other leftist YouTubers I have watched and respected for years.
  His obsessive need to tout his "rightness" on all matters is extremely abrasive and off-putting. He likes to cite diversity of tactics as a reason for engaging in debate the way he does, but then also doesn't respect anyone that can't debate their position. I've read a lot of philosophy and political commentary over the years, I know what I believe, but if you put me up against him I'd crumble on the spot. I couldn't debate to save my life, it's a particular skill. Watching him angrily yell at other leftists is not furthering the points he thinks it is.
  Being able to win a debate doesn't make you right, and losing one doesn't make you wrong. He's just another pig in the mud.
  
  nah I hate vaush cause he fucks horses and says the n word
  
  You know the leftist he "alligns himself against" attack him first in 99% of the cases right
  
  Great breakdown on why even if Vaush wasn't a piece of shit (he is) his debate format is inherently problematic. Ben Shapiro can win debates, I used to copy his style when I was in debate class. Not completely, but definitely used the speaking at a weirdly fast pace to make it hard to follow
- Vaush is a fucking dolt.

Who is the last one?
- Vaush, a leftist streamer. He's very direct and sometimes abrasive, so he's often in the centre of leftist online drama.
  
  He uses slurs, does harassment campaigns against leftist people of color and is overall a giant chump that is far more of a reactionary than any leftist. He's the "leftist" YouTuber for people who never had their Ben Shapiro/Sargon phase and don't understand what's wrong with that style of content.
  
  direct and sometimes abrasive
  He unironically believes horses have more sexual marketplace value than men

The West Wing deserves better than this tbh
