I can't help but notice that some progressive-leaning channels (like David Pakman, Brian Tyler Cohen and MeidasTouch) have titles like "Trump gets DEVASTATING NEWS that he DREADS", something like that. That made me think of something:

All both parties do is grift - the Republicans grift by having progressive YouTubers say extreme hardline conservative stuff just to get views and money while the Democrats give their videos clickbaity titles just to get views and money as well as give dark money to these YouTubers.

We need a vanguard Socialist Party that DOESN'T grift, but it's gonna require a populist platform that focuses on class consciousness..

I've never listened to Trueanon but was a fan of Cumtown. There is definitely a layer of ironic/sarcastic saying dumb conservative things as a bit but, they would also address that every now and then by saying things like "If you think we're actually conservative, you're a fucking idiot". None of which really do that anymore after the show finished.

I only listed Stavy because he's the most likely to appeal to young men. Adam Friedland's talk show is very good, his interview with Ritchie Torres was great. IDK what Nick is up to these days.
