2020 Presidential election

I think it's interesting that you say Nunes, Jordan and King are not very visible, while AOC and Bernie are shoved down our throats.

I get 90% of my news from the newsfeed on my phone, which pulls stories from dozens of different sources. I think places like CNN have given Jordan, Nunes, King a lot of attention, at least as much as Bernie and AOC.

Where I see A LOT of attention on Bernie and AOC is FOX News and then to a MUCH greater extent than even FOX News is National Review, Breitbart, and the like. So for your perspective to be that AOC and Bernie are shoved down our throats it at least points me to an assumption as to where you get most of your information, which isn't necessarily directly from Breitbart, National Review, but just as likely from facebook posts, where those far right news outlets dominate.

He is fully deluded. Every time he makes a broad conclusion about “the media, in general” you can get a clear glimpse of his delusion.

If we want to grant the possibility that somewhere in the USA there’s a segment of the adult population that is having information of some kind “shoved down their throats,” then we have to acknowledge that this isn’t happening without help from, and continuous input by, one or more algorithms. In other words, through the use of artificial intelligence tools.

Any blowhard culture critic who doesn’t take this into account in his analyses has given himself away.

And the idea that there’s some broad political slant in the operating algorithms toward propaganda favorable to Bernie and AOC is gawddamn hilarious.

IDK, I have watched less than 1 hour of Fox News in my entire life. I get almost all my stuff from youtube ( Kyle Kulinski, Jimmy Dore, Andrew Pakman, Sam Sedar, Ben Shapiro, Tim Poole, etc .....

I have never ever been on Breitbart or National Review. Almost never ever ever get on FB and certainly don't give AF what my dumbass high school classmate is posting. So .......

YouTube has one of the most problematic histories—in terms of algorithm function—in the entire history of the internet. You’ve been silo’ed.

If you all haven’t listed to the podcast (8 total episodes, I think) called RABBIT HOLE, then I enthusiastically suggest you check it out.

Yeah, there have been times I've followed a suggested link to a youtube video, end up watching some portion of a conspiracy theory BS video and then there it is when I'm on youtube, a slew of other crazy conspiracy BS. It makes me gun shy to ever watch things conspiracy idiots urge me to watch.

But I follow a couple people who do Subaru videos and so I get a bunch of other subaru stuff suggested to me. I follow a few tech channels, so again, a bunch of tech stuff. If you are getting political content from youtube you can bet that you are being fed all the additional videos that will be more than enough to confirm what you "learned" in your previous videos.

Seriously, bro, listen to RABBIT HOLE. I guarantee that you’ll want to hear what it says.

Learn how to read. I didn't say Biden was radical left. Or that he is scaring voters into voting Trump.

You really need to do a better job of articulating yourself. Again, you’re not a serious poster so I don’t think you even know what exactly you’re bitching about. You’re merely regurgitating nonsense you’ve heard from your family and social media.

I haven't "watched" news on TV on my free time in like 15 years. Sometimes it's on in the breakroom and that is the extent to which I "watch" news.

I've oddly had a few people very adamantly proclaim "well I don't know, I don't watch the news... but here's what I've been seeing on facebook..." and they say it to me as sort of an accusation that because I have more than the headlines worth of information I must sit home "watching" the news.

Well most of america are idiots and that goes back to my point. Right or wrong, the uninormed idiots are still important in the election and the radical left are alienating them. That being said the radical left are just as uninformed and delusional.

1. I wouldn't have even called him a moderate until hearing his Trump stuff, which I don't agree with FYI. I would have called him a staunch liberal. He said he would have voted Warren, Bernie, Yang, Gabbard ..... but Biden and Harris inspire no confidence. Which I can't argue.

You can’t seem to make up your mind here. Either Biden and Harris are too far left or too boring. What exactly is your gripe here?

2. AOC and Bernie are about 10,000 times more visible than Nunes, Jordanm King. So it's not hard to see why those people are ignored in comparison to them. AOC, Bernie, etc ... are shoved down their throats.

This opinion isn’t supported by data.

3. I disagree with this. The far right has always been offputting. The far left, has grown increasingly intolerable.

Before I subject myself to another round of ad hominem attacks, could you clarify for me what “the far left is?” What is it, who is it, and what do they stand for?
