          No one will care about vaush in a year. Hes boosted because hes an "aNArChiSt" that wants the dems to win, kinda like a version of Tim Pool but instead of a "liberal" pushing Trump hes a "leftist" pushing Dems. After hes served his purpose, none of the resitance or neolibs will want him and none of the leftists will want him.

            Disagreed. He, much like the other breadtubers, have established cults of personality and shall remain around for quite a while unless they do something that completely betrays their base's line of trust. Which seeing how his supporters don't care about the pedophilia, sexual harassment, and the other shit, I really don't know what he has to do to crash and burn.

            Maybe having him actually read theory, renounce all his prior views, an join a ML party will do it lmao.

            In a sense you could say the algorithm is boosting him, but it is because he purposely fits himself into internet drama and mainstream political controversy for clicks. He will probably keep it up, people like Vaush are the definition of weird grifters. He considers his stream a form of political activism, when it is more like if Jerry Springer debated neo-nazis and said he was changing America while the audience showered him with money. Except he also has a strange fixation with "tankies". And he just tells you to vote for Biden.

            He defended child pornography because there’s no ethical consumption under capitalism.

            In addition to that he creeps on and grooms girls in his discord, some of whom were underage at the time. He used to be “IrishLaddy” on Destiny’s discord server and was kicked out after a bunch of his creepy sexual harassment was leaked. Google “IrishLaddy prolapse” if you have a strong stomach

      Because Libs are insanely insecure and need to feel like everyone is completely subjugated into the Democrat Vooting Cult at all times. Even signaling that you think they are cringe is heresy.

    You absolutely should always vote, in virtually every state there's a ballot proposition for you to vote on. Go ahead and leave the candidates part blank if you want to but still vote.

      I remind people of all of the down-ballot things to vote on. County commissioners and school board matter a lot more to my daily life than choosing between red facist and blue facist.

        Absolutely, adding onto this, downballot district attorney and judicial elections matter a fuck ton as it relates to criminal justice reform. These local office holders have far more power to reform the system than any single other person on the ballot.

      The down ballot stuff is literally what drove me to the polls. They want to make it so that the county I live in is legally prohibited from raising any more money from property tax than they do, except to account for inflation. Let's be clear, that's not tax rate, that's total revenue. It's fucking insane and matters WAY fucking more than whoever is the figurehead of American imperialism.

        Absolutely, and the worst part of this stuff is that they try to squeeze out votes for these things into low turnout off year elections. If anything voting in off years is more important than during the presidential years general election.

        mine were right to repair and ranked choice. a couple other local 'non binding' ones like supporting environmental plans, and having the city council notes online. a little silly, but god i hope ranked choice passes...

        Absolutely, tons of evil shit goes through ballot props where they spend a shit ton on the campaign around supporting them.
