As silly as you all are during the shows, I appreciate the seriousness with which you approach these subjects. Thereβs a willingness to be reflective here and your sense of solidarity lies with other humans beings. You are more for things than you are against them. The lack of humility in the online left is really apparent recently and lack of openness
2021-02-09 08:31:40 +0000 UTCAs a Chicagoan who quite unreasonably wants more Chicago content on a Kentucky-based podcast, this was a wonderful episode.
2021-02-07 22:12:25 +0000 UTCCTU member here so happy you invited Kenzo onto the show.
2021-02-02 23:05:11 +0000 UTCI think Arron is offering some great insights and is fitting right into the fold. Great addition to the team!

2021-02-01 18:00:18 +0000 UTCAgreed. Chapo disappointed me in the last few months. They've become a bunch of clowns just smearing poop on the walls. At least Jimmy Dore had the courage to try and use his platform to do something. Dore gave AOC the opportunity to actually jump up and be a leader for us, but she declined. -and I would say 'reactionary' is the wrong term to describe Dore.

2021-02-01 16:07:14 +0000 UTCi think you get the Jimmy Dore split because despite him being a reactionary he is giving voice to the desperation, anger, disillusionment, and at present complete lack of direction of the USAian proto-left. Those people who still had hope in electoralism, but who can see the manufacturing of consent and machinations of Capital. Who's taking the reins? Not DSA, not the MPP, not the Greens, not the "squad." Alt-media like podcasts could swoop in to at least give some direction & voice but like after Bernie's defeat & self-imposed destruction of his volunteer org, you get Chapo et al saying "we're just comedy, we're no one."
