People I organize with watch him. I like to know what he's saying, so that I know what my friends are hearing ahead of time.
I also like to recommend him to liberals in certain contexts. Depends on the audience. If I am going to recommend something, I want to be familiar with that content.
This definitely isn't Reddit, it's definitely Hexbear. Not sure what you all are up to on dot zip, but I find it impolite for federated accounts to try and fine tune why content is posted to our instance, that's an internal-only discussion.

A lot of the leftists I know irl watch him and take influence from his takes (while also calling him a lib sometimes). He's one of the most prominent left wing American news guys.

He's unfortunately kinda relevant.

Unfortunately there's a lot.
