- Can we just face reality here for a moment, please?
Biden cannot beat Trump.
Biden needs to step aside and do what needs to be done to allow Kamala Harris to take the top of the ticket. - Zábava
A shorter stream, but an enjoyable one and I definitely had fun.. Glad to have caught this one and look forward to the next!
Thanks for talking openly about this. Most CZcamsrs are too ignorant or afraid to “get political,” but we’re not gonna stand a chance if we can’t even talk about it
@@BradsPitts. I’m pretty ignorant ;)
Thanks for this
Kalmman.
He said he wouldn’t run for re-election and yet here we are :(
Ngl if sailor would be my politics teacher in school, i would definitely have a better grade 😭
Literally Taylor Swift could secure the win with just a single Insta post, but she won’t
Just want to let you know that when i click on your profile and scroll through your videos, this video doesnt show up!
Perhaps censorship
It shows up under the live tab. I did get this vid as a recommendation on my homepage so no censorship for me.
As a lefty who feels like we need to be moving faster (or at all) on a lot of issues than the Dems are willing to, it's a tough pill to swallow to have to vote for either main party in this race, but there's a damn clear distinction between the two. And while I'm no big fan of VP Harris either, she's a damn stronger candidate than Ol' Joe. And I don't even say that as a slight on him-- I do believe he's genuine and done his best, but he just doesn't have the energy, the chutzpah, and the focus the focus to handle both the Presidency in a challenging national and international political situation and a reelection campaign at the same time.
While Harris might be in a difficult position were she to step up as the primary candidate, it would genuinely be better for the party as a whole for Joe to announce plans to step back into retirement and make a show of handing over more respinsibilities and roles to her as the election approaches. But I doubt it'll happen. We can hope, but I'm not hopeful as of yet.
I know streams and the like aren't great for the channel stats in the CZcams "game", but I'm glad you're willing to do that, and to share your views openly. It's a real shame that the most safe and profitable option in entertainment is to simply not give substantial views one way or another. We need more George Carlins, more John Stewarts, and more folks like you. Thanks for what you do, both on the relaxation front and the topic front with what you're willing to discuss.
it is fascinating to see how differently left wingers view reality, because I don't think anything approaching a majority, or even large minority, or people would agree that media/entertainment isn't political ENOUGH
@dustinbird9170 totally get where you're coming from, and definitely not saying more media *should* be political, just that it's a shame that expressing a political opinion aside from utterly milquetoast takes like "war is bad" and "I think we should work on dealing with corruption and incompetence in government" is a death sentence to monetization on platforms like CZcams. Big media shows can get away with it already, but streamers and small content creators? Nope, be universally advertiser-friendly in your content or be tossed into the bin of forgotten creators. Even with larger right-leaning and left-leaning channels, they have to lean on in-video sponsorships and patreon/subscribestar/etc to survive, because their content is almost universally deemed as unmonetizable by the algorithm gods.
Not that I don't understand why an advertiser might balk at having their detergent ad play in front of a video discussing genocide or the abuse or mistreatment of other human beings, but the net effect is that unless you're part of a major news network or late night show, you're penalized for expressing your views on any topic which might be deemed as controversial. That's what I'm referring to, not that TV or movies need to be more political or some shit. Most of them already do a garbage job of saying anything useful or constructive at all, much less do a good job conveying complex ideas and difficult questions in a meaningful way.
@@theroadstopshere I gave up following too many left leaning sources a while back largely because I stopped getting satisfaction from being angry at everything I read, so I would be interested in any examples from that side of the isle you might have of people suffering for their opinions. I agree that chilling political speech with the use of money no matter the side is a problem
@dustinbird9170 I honestly think the misunderstanding here on what you thought I meant and what I was intending is actually a really good example of how much people with differing political worldviews misinterpret and misconstrue what others outside their circle are saying-- your assumption was that I as a self-identified "lefty" must be making a commentary on the state of media as a whole and how I don't think it's political enough, while when I handed my phone to a buddy to ask whether that's what he read into it he said he thought it was pretty clear I was speaking about PS and other small independent creators like him.
That's not to say you were somehow less perceptive than my friend, or that I was perfectly clear in my message, but that the way that someone in my friend group with a similar worldview read a pretty general comment was entirely different from how you as a more conservative stranger (nice to meet you, btw) read the same text. Some of that's definitely that my buddy knows me well, but I think the same thing is true of me reading your comment on the video discussing how you feel the Republican party is run vs. the Democrats. I grew up extremely conservative and carried those views into my 20's, but serving in the military and moving a few times and seeing and meeting people of all walks of life changed the way I looked at people and politics. I don't see a number of respectable and memorable names in the R's today, more a couple dozen of reasonable folks who I disagree with on economic and social issues and an unfortunate number of genuinely unhinged dipshits who embarrass themselves for Twitter clips and disgrace Lincoln's name by their association with his party. And unfortunately the dipshits are far more memorable and influential in what the Republican House was and wasn't able to pass than any of the reasonable folks. By contrast, I see a more organized and less childish group in the Dems on average, but one so afraid of losing a vote or making any changes that they utterly fail to do anything to address problems or correct their own mistakes. Plus, they're absolutely awful at picking candidates. Clinton and then Biden? And then Biden again? Good lord, guys, do you have that little faith in any of your other members that those were the best you could front?
@@theroadstopshere Fair enough on the misunderstanding of what you meant to say. And I fully agree with you on your observation of how the DNC runs, it certainly is not disorganized or childish, if I let my bias show, I would say it is run like a very tight mafia, with a handful of loud outsiders who give the boss's headaches. The most impressive thing about Obama was his ability to circumvent that system as well as he did
France and Britain both just had left wing upsets in their elections, hopefully we can keep the streak going
The torries were already leftwing in all but name, it won't be a significant change, things will just continue to decline slightly faster, and with higher taxes
@@dustinbird9170 The torries are not left wing at all! what are you on about! the current labour government aren't even that left wing!!!
The Tory’s getting thrown out of government wasn’t an upset. They’ve been doomed since Covid, ever since then they’ve had scandal after scandal.
The biggest difference between Uk politics and American politics is tactical voting.
We’ve got more “liberal” and “progressive” MPs in the house of commons than ever before.
Labour 411
Liberal Democrat’s 72
Greens 4
France had a leftwing upset.
Britain had a US-style exchange between two right wing parties of a different colour.
@@ASMRSmith1 yeah, because theres nothing more right wing than open borders, high taxss and bloated social programs. There is no real right wing in Europe, there are only nationalist lefties, and globalist lefties.
I’m from the UK and it isn’t really my place to say who or who not to vote for in US elections but come on guys, politics is supposed to be boring and drab.
Just because a politician might have bombastic, catchy and memeable quotes doesn’t mean they’re fit for office.
I have a lot of respect for Biden and his public service but surely he should be proud he stoped Trump once he can stop him again by steeping aside.
