Why are the political commentators so annoying?

[PurpleTree]

I was listening to it and i agree with the theme.

But Cenk is almost unbearable to listen to imo. The way he changes his voice to mock people etc. And the yelling. 

Same with Kyle. And also Kyle is often talking like he would be talking to Maga or something. Trying to convince people. Bro you’re preaching to the choir. No need for all that extra jazz. I know he was a car salesman but chill.

And then people like Sam Seder have just the worst voice imo. Bro get some bass into your tonality.

It‘s a similar voice like Ben Genocide and Benzo Peterson.

Krystal and Saagar are some of the only normal ones out there imo. 
 

Some of the newer ones are decent. Mockler and that other guy.

But many of those guys have the worst clickbait title. It’s every day stuff like „Trump cries, he gets owned and destroyed and shaboynked“

Gosh where are thw adults with decent voices?
 

Gosh.

Anywho it’s not that important.

I've tried to listen to many, but I can only stand David Pakman and Ezra Klein. Cenk is a charlatan, this is his business, to evoke the reptilian brain for more clicks.

Pakman can be decent. But he kind of showed himself on the Palestine issue imo. It’s quite bad if your always leftist  about immigrants and so on but then when it concerns something that’s dear to you like Israel you’re kind of not. Just leaves a bad impression imo. But i don’t even know what his stance is now.

Pakman is an atheist, I don't think he has much of a tie to Israel, you do? I agree with him on Palestine though, I'm not Jewish at all, Palestine has a right to defend itself but terrorism should not be expected to be ignored. Palestine can fight openly if they choose that path over trying with diplomacy to gain more allies, but terrorist attacks are obviously going to be answered with reciprocal violence.

Israel has the ability to slaughter Palestine right? Palestine doesn't stand a chance without some serious allies that appear to be lacking. So if Palestine wants to settle this with fighting they will lose, so they resort to terrorism which is just a form of war that someone that knows they can't win uses. How is it fair to allow Palestine to attack, but not israel?

Palestine and supporters could have plead it's case diplomatically before October 7th, these protests should have happened before then.

I support Palestine and would like to see Israel removed, but Israel obviously has a right to reciprocate violence. Palestine obviously has a right to defend against settlements too, be it with violence or diplomacy. The only way I see Palestine winning is with diplomacy, still a long shot, but it's worked other places, South Africa for example. And I don't mean diplomacy with Israel, I mean with the rest of the world, they need more allies to put pressure on Israel.

Pakman is.

 

Yea i‘m not really looking for a Israel debate. But its interesting imo that people like Sam Harris, Shapiro, Pakman. Are all witty all have very strong opinions. But when it comes to Israel a lot of it goes out the window. 
As Tim Dillon said: Sam Harris let’s meditate, and let’s kill some Palestinians.

Ben Shapiros stance is wrong, he's a zionist, that doesn't discredit Pakman, whom isn't a zionist.

I don’t watch his show. But does he talk alot about Israeli settler violence? How Israeli lobbies are horrible? And how the US should distance itself from the Israeli regime?

Yes, I added videos to my previous comment, watch second to last video, he goes after netanyahu 8 years ago, calls for his party's removal. The first 3 are shorts.

Listen to Tim Pool. He uses critical thinking, unlike most.

But he is a russian propagandist no?

Tim Pool the Russian Tool?

Tim Tool the Russian Stool?

[carterfelder]

The DOJ's evidence suggests Tim Pool was unaware of Russian funding behind Tenet Media. There's no definitive proof he knowingly acted as a "Russian propagandist."

If Cenk Uygur were funded by Hamas, I'd still listen to him if I found any value in doing so, but I only find him amusing, because he's very much a performer who caters to his audience instead of valuing critical thinking and objective truth.

[Carl-Richard]

Cenk, Hasan Piker, most of the people at The Majority Report; it's sandpaper to my ears. Ironically, the most soothing voice in politics (except Sam Harris) is Nick Fuentes

Meidas touch is ok but the titles annoying click bait again.

Here’s a decent Pacman video.

 

 

[Leo Gura]

There is a kind of obnoxious arrogance and self-righteousness among many leftists.

Cenk, Hasan, Destiny, Kyle, Vaush, etc. It sells to their most hardcore base. It's like throwing red meat to the leftist base. The more subdued and mature voices don't gain mass popularity.

Sane, moderate voices don't get millions of views.

Yet, aren't the majority of American citizens still moderate?
