There are a lot of left-wing political podcasts out there, but here's the problem: they all come across as "weak".
There are some very smart and highly knowledgeable left-wing media figures and podcast hosts, but they all would sound like fukking dorks to the average person, ESPECIALLY young males, who are currently enamored with the Rogan/masculinity sphere of YouTube, Tik Tok, and Twitter.
The image of being a right-wing conservative man in the eyes of many young men is a guy who works hard to support his family, drinks whiskey, shoots guns, owns a business, drives a pickup truck, lifts weights, and is successful and confident.
The image of being a left-wing man in the eyes of many young men (and women) is a guy who is sensitive, speaks softly, is passive, has never had to work using his hands, is emotional, is feminine, and is a guy who probably drives an electric car (not a Tesla) and spends a lot of his time reading books instead being outside.
The fact of the matter is that being or identifying as left-leaning or liberal looks unmasculine in the eyes of a lot of men, regardless of age, but especially now within the 18-30 age range.
But, imagine if the left had a pundit or influencer who could counter the Ben Shapiros, Charlie Kirks, and Tucker Carlsons of the world WITHOUT sounding like so many of the men on the left in the political world do: whiny, nerdy and feminine?
I like Hasan Piker, but he's too cowardly to debate conservatives since he got more popular, and he isn't that good of a debater anyway. Plus, his pretty boy image makes him look "soft".
I like Destiny and think he's the best debater on the left and love how he's never afraid to be "mean" and will just straight up call a conservative or a neo-nazi "stupid" or "retarded' to their face, but he always has drama going on in his personal life.
The best all-round figure on the left to appeal to regular, everyday people would probably be Sam Seder from "The Majority Report", but his personality is way too damn nerdy and dry. Same goes for David Pakman.
A non-corporate backed shyt talking dude armed with nothing more than just a microphone and a cup of coffee who rants every weekday morning about free healthcare, the economy, unions and the working class without coming across like a privileged, upper-crust, milquetoast bytch (aka the guys from "Pod Save America") is something that the left desperately needs.
