Eliminating "Promoted Content" is NOT eliminating free speech. Money is not speech, just regulate the industry to not allow the algo to "promote paid content". It'll force the algo to change to benefit the user and not the "watchtime". This is an easy fix!
I am a pod save America subscriber. I also listen to Rest Is Politics US and in their last discourse Anthony mentioned about your discourse which is Obama centric and in the current culture debate it’s passe. Not relevant in today’s world. Was thinking why not invite him in your show and discuss diverse topics. He did mention that Kamala Harris election attempt was disrupted to an extent by Biden’s staff who prevented her from saying rhetoric that could have caused a better result. Possibly why none is blaming her for the loss but more so Biden. He listens to your podcast
The Pod bros have actually been called out by Biden people for their criticism of him so I think your underlying argument is moot. Harris did a lot of things on her own that pissed off many Dems. Assigning responsibility to Biden alone is not only wrong but misguided.
11:49 the word you're looking for, Jon, is "cathartic". It's therapeutic to write things down publicly even if the upset also comes for the same platform. That's the reason people who are angered by our ideas will be forced to deal with ideas they don't like too, but the platform allows the potential to communicate. For that reason alone it is net positive. Don't argue trolls, but legit people with legit ideas that are legit triggering are totally worth seeing and oftentimes responding to as well.
Wow - I’ve been thinking same for so long then say other comments. Crooked are so out of touch . And bad and smug as Favreau is the guy with him is literally an empty suit of ‘liberal’ talking points from the past 10 years. All just smug confirmation bias echo chamber nonsense. It feels as current and relevant as re-runs of Friends.
Doubt he will. The places he pulls his comments from are paid sources. You have to pay to ask these questions. meaning you probably have the same train of thought of him. Cant get questions from the general public like the YT comment section. He always says youtube comments are toxic. to a degree i agree, but they all are toxic to him because they challenge his world view and class position
So you want them to be FoxNews? Always catering to the audience and saying only what you want to hear? How incredibly childish and MAGA-like. I’m European, and I’m really baffled by your hostility towards them. They were right when they said President Biden should never have run again.
Look we all have good and bad takes. Nuance is what’s needed to form an opinion. Even if it’s a hard part of the discussion you don’t like we can’t look away. It’s also important because it can highlight inherent biases where a person gets their information. The internet might not be the majority but it is the people who are trying which is better than nothing. Happy new year!
Stop calling it skeets. It's just posts. The owner said it's just called a post. "Tweets" worked for twitter but stop trying to apply dumb names to other social media platforms.
Thank you for your effort, from someone who's been fighting the war against adding "-gate" to every scandal that isn't Watergate for more than a decade
Hope this episode features Jon takes on UHC issue and healthcare in general. If you are in favor of private insurance in any way before a universal option. you are the enemy of the progressive movment
I find this whole "we shouldnt feel righteous about being right" and confirmation bias thing really annoying because most of those people *were right.* PSA keeps saying this over and over again and its looking like theyre just wanting to bury their heads in the sand about *being wrong.* They keep saying we need to really dig deep and figure out what went wrong and not just rely on these explanations that detractors were saying before, but what if there isn't some hidden and yet to be revealed explanation and its quite literally what people have been saying all along?
That people are st*pid? Because to me, as a European, that seems to be the reason Trump won. I don’t think any digging is necessary. People are st*pid and the right has a massive propaganda system. The end.
I honestly think that you are telling yourselves that the internet is not real life in a kind of self-help, make-yourself-feel-better kind of way. Unfortunately, the voters of the United States are almost hopelessly on the internet, and if they aren’t, the TV shows that they watch have staffers and strategists that are. Saying that the internet is not real life would instead imply that voters learned about Donald Trump from NOT the internet or Mainstream Media...which is staffed by folks on the internet....
@@slainemacroth6758, how pathetic. These guys are political experts, the opinion of randos isn’t equally valuabke. As a European, I find your statement and your jealousy of them, despicable.
@@slainemacroth6758 Iunno, they seem pretty out of touch for 2008. I was Obama campaign staff in '08 and remember tons of us joined because we were sick of the Dem party running losing campaigns with low-charisma bureaucrats, which gave us 8 years of Bush. We walked away confident we'd shown the party how you actually win. And then the party threw the winning playbook in the trash and went right back to the old playbook. The irony here is PSA made their fame off Obama but don't seem to have even been in touch with the '08 campaign.
It does feel like the title of this podcast is just meant to be ironic at this point.

"Money is not speech." I'm afraid the SCOTUS ruled that it is.

You might start by paying somebody to read your comments and occasionally respond to thoughtful ones. Maybe even absorb some of the input.
Me 🖐🏼🖐🏼🖐🏼 they can pay me!
They never will, because they always think they're right.

How to find Jon on Bluesky?
I had GPS mapping functionality on flip phones. That's not something you have to give up to go back to a flip phone.
What, no thumbs up icon? Love the show. Thanks

Pod Save america is not allowed on BlueSky. I just decided.
I don't understand all the Bluesky hate, truly. Plus, most the people that complain about Blusky are still on Twitter. It makes no sense to me.
It's also that Trump has lowered the level of discourse to an insane level.
Microblogging platform with no algorithm: Tumblr
Also Mastodon.

After the election, I trolled Fox News posts for a couple days..
Why is Max lying he knows who one direction is haha.
his favourite was Liam Payne
Offline w/ Jesse Watters is so much better when Jesse Watters isn't on the show :/
The thing I miss about flip-phones is being able to flip-off the caller.
I miss pretending I'm a 60s USS Enterprise away team member

Nope. It’s lefties who call other lefties ‘enemies’, who are the problem.

There is - and it's not Blue Sky - it's Mastodon.
yay!
No one here "interrogates their priors." You are firmly in your echo chamber and make zero effort to understand those with different perspectives.
The perspective of California college educated millionaire democrat media people from 2008 is clearly what’s missing
