Most people rely on mainstream news or their twitter feed or podcasts to stay informed about what is going on.

And this is why I fear for Hasan Piker's safety. Traditional media is smearing him so badly that even C-Span hosts are saying shit like, "Hasan Piker has made many anti-Semitic statements" which is patently untrue.

I think the Democratic leadership bears far more of the blame. They know what is popular and what would help them win, they just don’t want to win with progressive policies that won’t personally enrich them.

I think a lot of this is also coming from the political consultant class. These people make far to much money on elections and it's not in their personal financial interests to embrace grass roots efforts to get politicians elected. They want big donors so they can make big ad buys(and get a commission).
