So they replaced one form of garbage with another?
I hate to have to inform you of this, but if you don’t like leftists, and moderate leftists, you’re in the wrong social media platform.
We are sooner going to unite against class traitorism than we will tankies. Just an FYI we defederated from the tankies.
If you are trying to imply Democrats are leftists you are fucking delusional. Liberals don’t understand class unity and do everything they can to prevent it from happening.
Where in the fuck did I say anything like that? Stop projecting your own shit on to me. The Democrats are a corporatist right wing party that I only am willing to vote for because the opposition is literally fascist. Just because I am stuck in a broken system doesn’t mean that I support it in any way other than harm reduction. Try and look at my name again before you assume shit about me.
The people you are voting for are literal fascists. Your name is irrelevant, if you are supporting enablers of fascism like Democrats that makes you a democrat
TIL The Baha’i Faith doesn’t exist. You are being tankie-ish with this gatekeeping. We have exactly two options. No more, no less. Until we can get rid of our first genuinely honest mistake, FPTP will consistently make the vote a decision between literal evil, and harm reduction. I vote for harm reduction, despite calling them and telling them how to be better once a week. I don’t have a better option, because sitting out allows fascism to take over.
Please tell me, a former USN Captain, an entrepreneur, and a finally retired food Safety manager, IT manager, and QA manager, as well as a literal Jack of All Trades, a master of a few, and a literal Nuclear Power Program Electronics Technician Instructor, what the ever loving fuck I can do? I am not allowed to be part of a political party, I’m only allowed to vote, protest, and take up arms against threats to my community.
The first two I’m already doing.
YOU have 2 options, you can’t get rid of a system you’re actively participating in. This mentality is like that of the abused spouse, ‘he beats me but I love him so much’ so the beating either gets worse, and/or the spouse is eventually killed from it.
The rest of us will refuse to participate in a system of exploitation and death. You as an individual person can’t do shit to create change, millions of us collectively can.
This comment here is why Lemmy will never get even a percent of reddit user numbers. Who gives a shit about that nonsense.
The ability of Lemmy to alienate even center left liberals never ceases to amaze me. The only way to stop Trump is a broad alliance from center right to left, not some communist revolution fantasy.
Good
Unsurprising .ml
What kind of cherry picked chart is this? Certainly this chart is not one that features YouTube or spotify. MeidasTouch is great and all but they aren’t even in the same league as Rogan in terms of listeners.
I prefer the Crooked Media shows, especially Pod Save America. But I usually check out the most recent MeidasTouch when I’m all cought up with my podcasts.
I’ve been listening to pod on an off for years. Quality is always there and they’re upfront about their positions so I feel like I’m listening to actual discussion, not someone trying to convince me. I need to check out MeidasTouch I guess
I used to listen to pod save America but got turned off in 2015. I’ve always felt they were too much of the pearl clutching DNC type. I like medias more than something like chapo trap house. I generally don’t like things that talk about current events though. The ones I like are just preaching to the choir and don’t really accomplish things for me.
Just listened a bit. These guys deep dive quite a bit, but I hope that this bump is from people who are previous Trump voters that now realize how fucked they are by Trump and get angry.
Do they actually do interviews with experts? Or is it just two dudes pretending to be experts and presenting (mis)information
Jon Stewart’s podcast is also good if you want interviews with experts. He also gets far more nerdy and into the weeds in his podcast than he ever was allowed to on TV or streaming
Yes they do. They also interview a lot of the Democratic congress critters. The lawyer that represents Luigi has been a regular contributor to the Meidas Touch for the last year or so.
Unlikely. Trump is a cult. He can do no wrong.
He’s created that in large part because of the media environment around him. Many republicans were upset and outraged on Jan 6th until they heard the fox news, rogan, etc line
Change the media consumption and a lot will follow from there. Changes to which media are more dominate are going to matter more than people think
deleted by creator
Not with that attitude. But go off! keep perpetuating it
What else could he do that he hasn’t already done?
Shit, I think we’ve all been asking ourselves that on a regular basis for years now and here we are still regularly surprised.
And would it harm him? Probably not.
“Heil Satan!”
Might lose 3% of his cultists. The rest will be “I’ve always been cool with Satan, just like Russia!”
Leave Satan out of this.
Apologize and show humilty and remorse for his actions and those he’s insipred and enabled?

It’s been 9 years and an unfathomable amount of indictable behaviors in broad daylight recorderded in 4K… I’m done holding out hope for these people, they are sick.
Hmm, one success speaks more to that one podcast’s popularity than a political shift.
Do we have a source other than newsweek?
From Podscribe. Scroll down to “Top Podcasts by Downloads & Views per Month”. It’s a shame Newsweek didn’t show their work.
They listed the source in the first sentence.
Sad to say, but it’s likely some of this bump they’re getting is TYT listeners/viewers leaving after Cenk and Anna’s latest spar with literally everyone near their orbit (and even losing some contributors). Many -oh so many- disaffected MSNBC viewers turned to non-traditional media after 2016, I cannot imagine how many might be leaving for more actually progressive sources after the recent election… but TYT has fumbled the bag here by both attacking other progressives AND doing shit like Charlie Kirk “debates” and interviews with Tucker Carlson.
I really hope they turn the ship around, because going after MAGA die hards isn’t the answer. At any rate, Majority Report seems to be doing just fine so there’s that.
TYT went full grifter mode but way too obvious.
Welcome to Polymarket Studios!

by both attacking other progressives AND doing shit like Charlie Kirk “debates” and interviews with Tucker Carlson.
I’m sorry, they did what!? You must be kidding. I never felt the vibe was right with them: old, weird freaks asking for donations the whole show. But this is on another level…
I wish I was kidding… here’s Cenk being given a (mostly) kid gloves “debate” with Francesca. She’s since left TYT over Cenk’s embrace of MAGA and Anna’s embrace of TERF talking points.

TYT telling the trans woman on staff that “Ana knows better than she does about how to help the trans community” was the final straw for me. You don’t get to silence a minority group by saying you’re doing it for their benefit.
The subsequent doubling down of “actually we’re the victims here!” was just confirmation.
I don’t know these people but even just reading that already made me so tired. I’m so ready for everybody to forget we exist again.
2020-2030 is really making 2000-2010 seem like paradise out here, which is something I never thought I’d say, as a trans woman who barely survived 2000-2010. 🙃
Effing preach!!!
Tyt???
The young Turks. Center right
Yep. It’s been a whole thing on the YouTube political drama channels and in like Dem Leaning progressive spaces.
Suck it, Daniel Ek
Good.
Surprised hoe has anytime to podcast while he is dick riding musk and his billionaire pals
Surprised hoe!
Is that his wife smiling menacingly to the right of the thumbnail?
She tripping balls or something prob.
If only they would bother to vote.
Let’s see if there’ll be another chance.
That’s where you come in my friend. It’s going to take boots in the ground and hard work to get people to vote. I’m going to do my part, I hope you will to. 💙
womp womp, isnt that what the right wingers say… Only they originally said it about a story about seperating an “illegal imigrant” 10 year old girl with downs syndrome from her parents and keeping her in a cage, if I recall correctly. And then they refused to apologize for it.
Not only that, but they very much acted like they were the ones who were owed an apology
Why don’t they list MeidasTouch in the headline?
Better title: “Pro-America podcast MeidasTouch dethrones shitty pro-donvict podcast in the charts”
Eeeeh. I can’t be the only one who won’t touch something described as “pro-America” with a ten foot pole.
I think it’s a mistake to let the right winger take claim to everything related to patriotism and national symbols.
I will say, before the election, i was watching them pretty hard. I dropped it for my own mental health after the election though. I wasn’t a huge fan of Ben Meiselas because he became more and more sensational but I really liked Michael Popoks legal commentary. I felt like Ben started shading into the tone and repetition patterns of the far right podcasters but either way, they both always had their facts straight and everything they said and predicted was backed by evidence and legal experience. Popok is a smart fuckin dude though.
Also, I’d say they’re “pro democracy” as that’s the line they always pushed unless it changed after the election.
If you want to ease into it just check out Popoks stuff as it’s way more objective. I learned so much about the legal/judicial system from him and it was all validated by other sources.
Agree popok is the juice on that channel. Agnifilo used to be there a lot too
Aww, did she leave? She didn’t have popoks stage presence but she was still sharp as fuck
I’m still subscribed but otherwise I share your thoughts exactly. Is also how I heard of the gal defending Luigi, I really enjoyed her stuff with Popok. I still feel like I can’t get back into any of it anymore though. Like what does it matter if everything they say is factually accurate if at the end of the day the law doesn’t matter and facts don’t seem to matter.
newsweek.com, a known right wing source, thats why.
According to Podscribe.
Which collects data from more than the single-source Spotify.Podcasts are thinking for people who can’t read.
I’m making a rather cruel joke, but I do find some friends who struggle (lazy / busy, I’m not sure why) to read a news article I might share with them and, who will share with me some 20 sec Instagram clip with the words flashing up with Peterson or Rogan “slamming”, “owning”, “destroying” the libs. A quick Google usually dispels the quote or shows that the subject is not so simple.
I should also add I do listen to podcasts and radio and there’s nothing wrong with both.
I don’t have time to read…I’d love to but I can’t. Gotta mortgage slave and take care of/support a crotch goblin
I’m these people. Probably read like 7 books in my life but dozens of audio books 🤣. I get distracted while reading a book. Can crush audio books when I’m cleaning or driving though.
Audiobooks count. You’re still getting exposed to the same, long, fleshed-out ideas in story form.
Broke: Joe Rogan pwning the libs
Woke: TrueAnon pwning the libs
Ugh Ben Shapiro is that high?
For me it’s the recent percentage in increased subscribers. Is Ben Shapiro better/worse than Rogan? Isn’t he branded as a more “intellectual” to those who listen to both? F.
Shapiro is far better educated and informed than Rogan. He’s more of traditional conservative, who only begrudgingly supports Trump. Of course he’s still a propagandist and a liar.
Candace Owens is higher…
candace dick fit in my ass
Wait a minute … THIS IS THE BAD PLACE!
Made me audibly laugh in my head
@WhatAmLemmy figured it out? @WhatAmLemmy?
Yeah, this is a low point! This one hurts!
How the fuck did Klandace get such a boost?
By having a black female, the right can point to a single source when accused of being either racist or misogynist. No longer do they need to remember two separate podcasts to affirm they are neither racist nor misogynistic. That leaves them much more time to beat off to JRE and his clones and lesser offspring.
Probably by buying subscribers like Shapiro did. Pump the numbers up, get a boost for the algo, get more clicks.
That shaved ape moron Dan Bongino is that high? Times is bleak
