    I think its more accurate to say that, the majority of people who paid for Bri's patreon and follow her twitter are lib-lefts, therefore it was inevitable that she would end up with Vaush. It really is incredible how quickly her post-Bernie podcaster grift started though. You would think being good friends with people like Dave from the Dollop would help, but I guess Dave still considers himself primarily a comedy writer and is not clearly angling for another spot on a dem-soc's campaign.

      Dave is basically a DSA lib but one with remarkably few bad takes, probably because he never talks about international affairs save to say that America should stop fucking everyone, which is itself also a good take though one which does not go far enough. The Dollop is still great but his other cohost on the Audit (forget the name), although pro-union, is just too lib for me.

        Yeah Josh kinda sucks, he is the only thing keeping the podcast from becoming a rabid leftwing tankie-fest. Which is why they are able to have guests like Nina Turner on.

      Bri was only ever going to be followed by left-libs so it makes sense she would eventually be pushed to team with Vaush

      I think its more accurate to say that, the majority of people who paid for Bri’s patreon and follow her twitter are lib-lefts, therefore it was inevitable that she would end up with Vaush.

      Sorry what exactly is the difference between these statements that is important to note?

        Well, lots of non-lib left people 'followed' her initially, its just that no one that far left is willing to actually pay for her schtick, whereas lib-left people love to pay to hear people preach their favorite opinions at them.

        It's a minor difference.
