I can’t help but notice that some progressive-leaning channels (like David Pakman, Brian Tyler Cohen and MeidasTouch) have titles like “Trump gets DEVASTATING NEWS that he DREADS”, something like that. That made me think of something:
All both parties do is grift - the Republicans grift by having progressive YouTubers say extreme hardline conservative stuff just to get views and money while the Democrats give their videos clickbaity titles just to get views and money as well as give dark money to these YouTubers.
We need a vanguard Socialist Party that DOESN’T grift, but it’s gonna require a populist platform that focuses on class consciousness…
Thats just kind of mandatory to be successful in that specific corner of the media. I agree it sucks and I hate that shit to, eventually I just stop watch/reading outlets that do this. But you can’t argue that it gets clicks/views.
