I normally find these sorts of youtube "news" channels to be idiotic, but I find this one - The Majority Report - to be mostly quite good, and tend to dig further into topics in the sort of way C-Span did - not sure what C-Span is like now, but if I'm seeking to find a source that has its finger on the pulse of American Political culture from the 1980s and 1990s, I always go to C-Span... especially considering C-Span has lots of content from those time periods available in very high quality. To me, The Majority Report is kind of the equivalent of that from a number of leftist perspectives:

Sam Seder - hates labels, but I'd peg him as a progressive. He's more of a full picture guy who is very anti-hierarchy. He tends to be pro-governance person who thinks people in small groups can become corrupt. His pro-government view comes in the fact that he believes that if you give people too much freedom that they will exploit.

Michael Brooks - a fierce democratic socialist. He can be very bullheaded on the short-angle change. That is, for example he was much more pro-Bernie, by far, than the other two - he saw Bernie Sanders as the be-all/end-all victory point, while the other two are more wide-angle casting Bernie as one part of a much larger picture.

Jamie Peck - is a libertarian socialist, though she has also called herself an anarcho-communist as well as a communist - and has recently been incorrectly labeled as the leader of Antifa (calling her that is like calling someone the leader of Nintendo fans). She's the most academic of the three, very well read in Marxist text.

One other show I frequent is the David Pakman Show, but I am much less of a fan of it because, even though I agree with Pakman to a very large degree, it's less about dialogue and more about monologue.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
