Billionaire Threatens Democratic Party

[woolfe9998]

Your initial post insinuated that you had never heard of Kyle. Kyle is closely associated with the Young Turks. Kyle cofounded Justice Democrats whose core philosophy is removing corporate money from politics. He often posts on this topic on a daily basis. I know the commentators you listed above and I am not seeing anywhere near the laser focus on this topic ( I happen to love some of the people you mentioned).

Here is an example of Kyle's videos released in the last two days.

McConnell Can't Promise the Middle Class won't get taxes raised

Centrist Joe Manchin: I'm for the average joe and corporate leaders

Wealthy dem donor, if dems go left i'll cut off their money

etc...


I counted 17 stories from Kyle in the last week talking about corporate money in politics. You can go to the site and see for yourself. I know you don't like Bernie and Kyle is a HUGE Bernie fan, dude like worships Bernie.

Factually I think he is pretty impeccable. He has a huge bias against corporate money but he doesn't seem dishonest in the least.

Other favorite topics of Kyle are the effects of America's war on the Middle East, pot legalization, Clinton bashing and occasionally religion.

I don't know about Kyle but if you say he does good work, I'll take your word on it. But Perkins is correct that your initial statement was factually wrong. Here's what I found in 2 minutes and a google search, just what was on the first page of search results, and I only took the articles from major media sources, not smaller or less well known publications.

I could probably find 50 such articles if I wanted to devote an hour to it.

Meh, you guys could be right. I may have made assertions without evidence. However I seemed to be getting Russia to the puke point on most channels. For whatever reason, I am not all that interested in it. I parked myself on Kyle's channel because he consistently posts stuff I am interested in, especially with respect to corporate influence on politicians and American war-mongering. He is my go to channel for political talk.

It should be noted that political channels are less important to me than atheist channels. I think I would die without them, I love Matt Dilahunty, Seth Andrews, Logicked, Viced Rhino, Paulogia, Potholer, Steve McRae, King Crocoduck, TheLivingDinosaur, AaronRa, hith, etc... I seem to have an obsession with videos debunking YEC. It is almost a monomania.
