Why does he need to be defended? Does he actually contribute to the issues he is concerned with in any way that doesn't also benefit his brand? How would any streamer, regardless of their professed politics, be worth anything to a revolutionary process? Why is he not a mere spectacle?

He is the largest left voice in the media. More people watch him than MSNBC.

MSNBC isn't left.

Msnbc is far left, wtf? Rachel Maddow is still on

[–] Maeve1@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The farthest left MSNBC was was when Keith Olberman was still on, and they weren't left then, either.
