They got lumped in with the dirtbag left because they're friends with Chapo. Amber and Nick used to be roommates, they guest on each other's pods sometimes, etc. Nick made some joke about being the president of the DSA once and some people thought he was serious. They'll occasionally do bits about politics but they also tell people how stupid they'd have to be to get their politics from their show. When they drop the ironic racism bit (and yes, it's ironic and a bit whether you think that's ok or not) their real stances trend to the left. It is not a political show though.
