What specifically is wrong with him. I am probably outing myself as a bit of a plebe but I would like to know specifically what, according to the Vaush community makes Gavin Newsom so bad. Is it just or mainly that he is an establishment democrat? If it is, that I understand, but is it just that? My dad thinks Gavin Newsom would be great for president and I don’t know how to explain to him that I don’t think he is radical enough to make any real change. Then I asked myself what I actually personally think about Newsom specifically and realized I dismissed him primarily because Vaush does. I’m not very good at judging candidates, either because I have been really dissociated from the nitty gritty of politics and political partially because my mental health has been somewhat touch and go, so I could use a few more precise prescriptions on what to look for in a candidate.

I really wish Vaush didn't have to cover stuff like this but in this instance I think he should - it seems really bad & the summer period is always tense as is - thank you Orange Order

I know Vaush was disappointed with the primary results last week but looking at how things have been moving Steyer is within 216,000 votes to take over Hilton with over one million ballots left to count. I know his biggest disappointment was about the lack of younger people voting due to voter apathy created by the Dems.

Depending on if Steyer gets the 2nd spot I’m wondering if the youth vote was mostly mail-in ballots now since they’d be more likely to vote for him over Becerra. We’ll see.

Just like how Nithya came in second a few days after the primary election. I didn’t like that she joined the race on the last day to screw over Rae Huang but she was the “progressive” that had the better chance. So it’s very possible Steyer can win

I'm not drama farming I just want to know what ppl in the community think of lonerbox now versus the last time he spoke with vasuh?

He hasn't streamed in five days and I miss listening to them. Is he on vacation?

I feel like the underlying thing about a lot of contractor bloat is misunderstood. While I won't deny graft and bloat, the reason this (and a lot of other industries) are fucked up is due to:

Legal Liability

The reason that everyone has 35 different specialized subcontractors and is bloated and inefficient is because if your project breaks/kills someone, you have to find who to sue into the dirt. The buck doesn't stop with anyone and you throw it in a bloathole until the angry party goes away in confusion

This is the same thing as to a lot of bloat in medicine, but you could also argue that a lot of the reason shit is expensive is due to the cost of human life in America

Vaush is definitely on the right track, but I personally feel like he misses this aspect and hope he addresses it

I saw one of Vaush's videos, and thought this was a more indebth explanation of the phenomenon. It also gives a better explanation of the origin and ramifications than vaush gave.

Hello hello, it's me again with a semi-provocative post title! I'm in the hospital this week because I just got bottom surgery, so I'm bored and only slightly informed on the news.

I wanted to first ask about all the stuff with Platner that's been going on recently. I don't think Vaush has said anything particularly untoward, but the way that people have been talking about it has left a really bad taste in my mouth. Of course it's meant to damage his candidacy. Of course if I were a Maine voter, I'd still vote for him (I'm vote blue no matter who, baby!) But it also would make me wary to support progressives like him in future primaries, especially progressive men. IF the accusations are true, the way that some on the far left have been dismissing them as "no big deal" or "not actually abuse" just feels...not great. They still have plenty of reasons to continue supporting Platner's candidacy without being so dismissive towards stuff that a lot of women have to deal with from men in relationships.

The other thing I wanted to ask about was the comic/movie Persepolis, which I haven't seen but a lot of people are talking about online now that the artist has recently passed. My friend said we can watch the movie next week while I'm recovering! I don't know why, but a lot of far leftists (ie tankies) have accused it of being "imperialist propaganda" despite its themes mostly being about women's empowerment under a theocratic regime. The way that some leftists talk about liberal feminism, it feels an awful lot like they just don't care about women's rights and just see us as acceptable sacrifices to the leftist cause (the same way some of them talk about trans rights, for the record.) I really don't care that Western conservatives use it in bad faith as a pretext to attack Iran and other Islamic countries - oppression of women is bad! It's not that hard!

So yeah, that was all. If you're a normal leftist who supports women and wasn't saying the things I described, you're cool! But for everyone else, I just have to ask, why???

I would've never canvassed before I got involved in this community. Today, I just got done knocking on around 75 doors in about 2 hours. It wasn't always fun, my legs are certainly feeling it, but I got to spread the good word about a local politician in a neck-and-neck race, and I got to remind a few people that they need to vote.

Now to eat some rice and beans.

I just tried to search for it and only found a past post from the subreddit. When I tried to reach it that way, it was unavailable. Is it gone? If so, why? I know he hasn’t done a segment for like years I think: is that why?
