When JT did an AMA here I asked him about using the pod to actively pipeline people into organizing.
IIRC his response was "That's more of what a party is for". Maybe I should have been more specific but it wasn't a super encouraging answer.
Disheartening but I can kinda understand it.
They do more education and contextualizing work. Putting themselves in a situation where they'd have to pick and choose specific projects and organizations to try to advocate for... well... look what happened with the Chapo gang and Bernie Sanders. They tried, it failed, and they still get raked over the coals for it.
I kinda want to see a "party" spin up their own podcaste/YT channels that serve the same purpose as Pod Damn America and The Deprogram/First/Second Though. Don't need to worry about being picking the "wrong" project or organization to advocate for.
They exist, people just don't watch them.
Maybe they need more air horn noises?
Wonder if there is a list somewhere?
I mean, PSL has Crashing The System, it's got pretty good production values but it's been a while since I last gave it a listen.
Ohhh... thanks.
If a media platform is independently telling people to join X y or z party that's fine, but if a declared member of that party owns the platform they are telling people to join their party then they are obligated to transfer ownership of that platform to the party for collective oversight.
