    amazing where TYT crowd is these days. Jordan got metoo'd for iirc inviting a co-worker into a hot tub(?), Chunk is a union buster, Jimmy Dore went antivax... and I think Ana said some heinous landlord-type shit about homeless people but I can't remember

      they've been fear mongering about bail reform lately. they were never good but they've gotten worse. Cenk and Anna will just be mainstream boomer news like Anderson Cooper and Rachel Maddow in a few years. In fact, they already are. My ex-Republican liberal aunt watches TYT

      TYT is so reactionary on the issue of bail reform Citations Needed did a news brief on it

      I haven't watched, let alone donate, to TYT in years...but I do think at one point they and Cenk were pretty good gateways for people stepped in anarcho capitalist bullshit who might be having the spark of doubt in them.

      Not saying they still are but still....they definitely helped get me here so I've always had a soft spot for them.

        This is how I feel whenever I see Sam Seder these days.

        His show sucks hard now and probably still sucked back then (albeit less) but I have a soft spot for him

          Yeah, absolutely. Also I haven't been able to enjoy Sam Seder in years if only because I only feel pain at how badly I miss comrade Brooks.
