At least John Oliver has done some nice pieces about trans people I guess?
39John 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.
68Yes, he has quite some good videos that critic the current system but he is by no means on the revolutionary left
26IIRC 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
29Yes yes we must nationalize Lockheed I agree
91: Nationalize it
2: Retrain its workers and give them jobs more beneficial to humanity and then
3: Dismantle it

Nice username Mr xxxSexMan69xxx
20If you have 69 in your username, you are either 54 or 12. I do not believe OP is 54.
7No 12 year old is bringing up Sorkin’s The West Wing.

Not the revolution we need but the revolution we get
17“Is this a whole personality?”
11No, it's something you carry inside you. You know, values.

Jesus fucking Christ.
At least John Oliver is kinda alright.
8Seems like this community really despises Vaush for no fucking reason huh
8I 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.
16You know the leftist he "alligns himself against" attack him first in 99% of the cases right
5Great 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.
3The comments here is basically the weirdest conversation I've seen about him, basically everyone either defending or criticising him is just getting upvoted and not downvoted.

Who is the last one?
7Vaush, a leftist streamer. He's very direct and sometimes abrasive, so he's often in the centre of leftist online drama.
20He 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.

The West Wing deserves better than this tbh
