When the humor podcasts consists of a bunch of awful, horrible people, the saying "you are what you eat" applies.Did you know that you can enjoy leftist humor podcasts and not be a bigot?
Shocking, I know.

Yes, 29 years ago. 🤪
All of the above. Dirtbag left originated via Chapo, then spread all over the movement. I wouldn't thought you know this history. It is your responsibility to call them out, they're in your movement.
You've literally been dealing with this issue of minorities being offput by the attitudes of majoritarian "socialists" for over a hundred years. I can go dig up the passage from "The Populist Movement" if you want later. This is not a new thing. This is something you need to actively address rather than go "no true scotsman" on because if you don't understand the problem and don't self-police, it will continue to be the same problem it's always been.
I'd consider that a compliment coming from you ;)When the humor podcasts consists of a bunch of awful, horrible people, the saying "you are what you eat" applies.
They're a portion of the left created by Chapo Trap House, the name comes from Amber A'Lee Frost.
"Dirtbag left" is used by leftists, liberals, moderates, conservatives, and everything in between to mean different things. It is meaningless without context. Some people use it jokingly, some use it to smear leftists.
I understand its origin from Chapo, please do not attempt to lecture me on leftism, it is extremely condescending.
Don't act like I shield or refuse to criticize people being racist either, no matter what their ideology is.
I have no idea what/who either of those are. But I listen to political podcasts daily.
Frost is a founding member of the Chapo podcast and an infamous tank ie.

Kirblar, this is completely ahistorical. Leftism has had massive movements from minority groups both in America and around the world. If socialism has an issue with alienating minority groups, it isn't any more true than any other ideology. I am not saying socialists who are racists are not socialists. There are minority leftists who actually make these critiques! Here's a good video that touches on it:
But I have no interest in publicly self-flagellating myself over the issues of racism and misogyny in leftism, ultimately. If there are issues within leftist communities regarding this, then that is where I will tackle it.
Real fucking classy CNN.
People should be genuinely upset with how CNN has manipulated and profited off of this mostly nothing story. It's fucking gross.
why are we "leftists" getting morally lectured from people who have been banned on this forum for having a sadistic viewpoint on the murdering of innocent Muslim people and calling for an outright ban on Chinese people into the country.
CNN only pushes shit content like this because they know we'll all click it. Look how this tale has consumed PoliERA for 30-odd pages!
Then we're on the same side and you're getting mad at me for nothing?
... Primary season.WOW -- Clinton only did 4,000 votes worse than Obama in Staten Island, but Trump did 27,000 votes better than Romney in the island. jfc.
EDIT: lmao I just read the last few pages what did I miss.
I only brought it up because you folks were there in that convo. It wasn't meant to beat the community up.My frustration was you discussing things that happened in the socialism OT in another thread. I considered it inappropriate. If you feel differently then we will disagree.
It's been primary season for like 10 years, I've become an old lady since Beto dropped out, Auto is probs just entering middle school

Do not engage with people with garbage, dehumanizing viewpoints, people. They'll go away eventually.
Neither Bernie nor Warren have impressive electoral records at all, save for Bernie's initial mayoral election.
Kirblar has been banned for his viewpoints of killing Muslim people.
Itchy has been banned for calling on a ban of Chinese people (my wife) from entering the United States.
Wait what's wrong with community college 😢I think I'd put more stock into the heart surgeon who graduated from Harvard Medical School (winning as an independent socialist in a midterm for an office held by republicans for 30 years) over the one who studied at a community college (winning as a democrat in a general election in Massachusetts)
sounds like one person is more fiscally responsible than the other 🤔

it's just sooooo interesting to me to see how quickly folks who purport to be socialists fall back into classism, especially in this case when bernie's whole appeal is he's supposed to be normal compared to all the wealthy ivy league elites or whatever (it's also soooo interesting that harvard was chosen as the school for the example, because between warren and bernie i definitely associate harvard with bernie!)

No I fucking haven't. If you don't know what the fuck you're talking about, don't say anything!Kirblar has been banned for his viewpoints of killing Muslim people.
