Are The Young Turks representative of the left?

She is calling Joe Biden a loathsome War Criminal. They are all about being anti Israel above everything else.
I saw another of their video yesterday where she was dissing on Corey Booker.
Hell, yesterday I checked on my messages here on DU, and in 3-4 separate messages from one thread some months ago, warning me over and over again to threaten me with a ban over the Israel-Palestinians issue, and deleting my posts.
Way to work on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory for the Democratic Party going forward.

1. No, they are Russian sponsored clickbait merchants.

But they express some views shared by progressives, to boost clicks.

If you’re just now discovering you’ve had posts hidden, you might want to reread the DU TOS.

6. I was aware right away, just mentioned it because I checked the messages last night and was reminded.

2. The Young Turks represent some of the left.

We are large coalition.

They are oftentimes odious and problematic, but they are part of the left mediascape, along with Hasan Piker and others.

We are more self-critical ecosystem than Rogan et al. in their space.

12. Piker is Cenk's nephew

So, we can thank the Young Turks for nepo-babying that racist, misogynistic, terrorist supporting mess into our lives.

He was on TYT doing Bro Tips in their attempt to appeal to the manosphere. Where such totally progressive humor such as "Old enough to count, old enough to mount?" got aired, and he treated women like you'd expect a rich, spoiled frat bro to treat women.

Just saw some drama last week (Shoe on Head, if you're interested, but I advise you not to be). His arguments against her were basically, "She's a woman, so she's a whore."

Yep. That's who people want in the party.

3. Not never of Feminists.

4. Unfortunately they are for some

They shouldn't be.

5. They used to be lefty, now maybe 60 - 70% of the time.

8. The Young Turks are probably the most anti war

Podcasters online. Very far left. OMG! Anna is so vocal against genocide - she posts a lot on X and mostly all anti war /anti Netanyahu -

At this point, I’m for the people who hate war and speak up. These guys do that. .Their views jibe with Ro Khanna.

11. You might want to dig into Ana Kasparian

A little more. She a maga-adjacent antisemitic nutjob.

9. it is obvious that biden was attempting to slow the slaughter in gaza

that was the best he could do, necessary though insufficient. "genecide joe" is an unfair characterization.

i think it is possible to oppose the violent settlements and favor humane treatment of the palestinians with out being "anti semitic."

10. DU is the only place I've ever heard of them.

For my own mental well being I don''t watch any news or opinion videos, including this one.

13. No, not at all
