Chapo Trap House's and CushVlog's Matt Christman comes on today to speak about the situation of the US left and how we got here. Labor has had some major victories in the past few weeks, but the trends are in general still negative. How did we get here and what can we do about it?

      I have mostly only listened to his collaborations with Antifada Sean. He has some unusual takes and positions, but seems pretty informed and good.

        He says shit that's hard to hear and potentially demoralizing (see his DSA video) but like, what he's saying isn't wrong. Genuinely challenging stuff, I mean that in the best way.

      He a good guy who apparently teaches in Utah. Very well educated on things, generally great takes.

      I hate the "serious" cadence he uses for some of his videos. Like the actual content is usually worth sitting through and while he's dry, he's not nearly as bad as others I've heard.

      But it's clear... that he is trying to delay sections of his video... to emulate a style that could have more impact.... even if it messes up the flow... and comes off as artificial...
