I love the detail and information. I hate the presentation. It may carry more weight if it felt more serious. A thoughtful presentation of the facts is here but you have to wade through comedic delivery. We don’t need another Jon Stewart. We need more discussion from both sides. Ignoring extremists, there are some very wise people in the true liberal and conservative camps. Time to bring them together. Point out the leftists and alt right for being the unreasonable people that they are.

Great response, thank you.

When you are making fun of the “other side”, whether left or right, it won’t open their eyes and ears to a counterpoint. It gets instantly dismissed. It’s wasted effort IMHO. I want people to listen to all this research and insight.

That’s the crux of my issue with this approach.

Your definitions, not mine.

Extremes are untenable. There has to be a compromise at some point.

I think your leftist definition is more moderate than mine.

I think many moderates agree on the general premise of what you want, but how to get there will take more work.

I’m far from enlightened, and I’m clearly ignorant for pissing up hill with a reactionary such as yourself.

Good luck. Enjoy your life of suffering and toil.

Completely agree and understand. I’m just in a situation where I’d like to be able to wield the same great information in a different format. Maybe someone can recommend a different youtube channel. I think thats what I’m ultimately searching for…

Exactly.

Not everyone is on twitter for the political bullshit. Using banned words it’s easy to filter any political garbage. Twitter is quite useful. But I’m not there to convince or push my ideology on a bunch of polarized people. What a waste of energy.
