Are The Young Turks representative of the left?

She is calling Joe Biden a loathsome War Criminal. They are all about being anti Israel above everything else.
I saw another of their video yesterday where she was dissing on Corey Booker.
Hell, yesterday I checked on my messages here on DU, and in 3-4 separate messages from one thread some months ago, warning me over and over again to threaten me with a ban over the Israel-Palestinians issue, and deleting my posts.
Way to work on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory for the Democratic Party going forward.

1. No, they are Russian sponsored clickbait merchants.

But they express some views shared by progressives, to boost clicks.

If you’re just now discovering you’ve had posts hidden, you might want to reread the DU TOS.

6. I was aware right away, just mentioned it because I checked the messages last night and was reminded.

2. The Young Turks represent some of the left.

We are large coalition.

They are oftentimes odious and problematic, but they are part of the left mediascape, along with Hasan Piker and others.

We are more self-critical ecosystem than Rogan et al. in their space.

[Sympthsical]

12. Piker is Cenk's nephew

So, we can thank the Young Turks for nepo-babying that racist, misogynistic, terrorist supporting mess into our lives.

He was on TYT doing Bro Tips in their attempt to appeal to the manosphere. Where such totally progressive humor such as "Old enough to count, old enough to mount?" got aired, and he treated women like you'd expect a rich, spoiled frat bro to treat women.

Just saw some drama last week (Shoe on Head, if you're interested, but I advise you not to be). His arguments against her were basically, "She's a woman, so she's a whore."

Yep. That's who people want in the party.

19. Yup, I know.

3. Not never of Feminists.

4. Unfortunately they are for some

They shouldn't be.

[marble falls]

5. They used to be lefty, now maybe 60 - 70% of the time.

8. The Young Turks are probably the most anti war

Podcasters online. Very far left. OMG! Anna is so vocal against genocide - she posts a lot on X and mostly all anti war /anti Netanyahu -

At this point, I’m for the people who hate war and speak up. These guys do that. .Their views jibe with Ro Khanna.

[Boo1]

11. You might want to dig into Ana Kasparian

A little more. She a maga-adjacent antisemitic nutjob.

[womanofthehills]

16. I've been listening to Anna since 2007 in her Air America days on Sirius Radio

She’s very progressive and more connected to the anti war Democrats like Ro Khanna. She does scream about her hate for Netanyahu and speaks about her many death threads.

[Boo1]

21. Have some

Look into her thoughts on transgender rights, justice, immigration, etc.

Progressives dont go on Glenn Beck and heap praise on Gov. Abbott.

9. it is obvious that biden was attempting to slow the slaughter in gaza

that was the best he could do, necessary though insufficient. "genecide joe" is an unfair characterization.

i think it is possible to oppose the violent settlements and favor humane treatment of the palestinians with out being "anti semitic."

18. Interesting- Hunter Biden will be on the Candace Owens podcast today

Speaking about the pressure put on his dad.

Candace said since Charlie Kirk’s death - she is now apolitical.

Today’s podcast is a huge deal on social media - could hit 50 million viewers. It’s been advertised for days.

10. DU is the only place I've ever heard of them.

For my own mental well being I don''t watch any news or opinion videos, including this one.

15. TYT has been around a long time - since 2006 on Air America

I listened to it back then along with Randi Rhodes and Rachael Maddow on Sirius Radio.

Ro Khanna, one of my favorite congressman just appeared on TYT last week.

“ • Regular Appearances: Khanna has joined TYT multiple times to discuss Democratic strategy post-2024 election, reaching across the aisle, foreign policy (e.g., Iran, Saudi arms sales), and economic issues. Clips and full episodes often highlight him calling out party leadership or debating topics like cross-aisle work (e.g., with figures like Marjorie Taylor Greene). youtube.com

• Broader Ties: TYT has covered or partnered with Khanna on issues like progressive legislation, Amazon worker issues (with Bernie Sanders), and events. Wikipedia and other sources note him as one of the Justice Democrats-aligned members who appear on TYT. khanna.house.gov

13. No, not at all

[WhiskeyGrinder]

14. There is no one "The Left"

[Duncan Grant]

17. What does being "anti-Israel above all else" mean to you?

Are you saying “the left” is a liability to the Democratic Party? I’m willing to listen if you can cite specific actions and statements. Otherwise, this just looks like an unintelligible rant.

[biocube]

20. I like Cenk and Ana TBH

Some people get too bent out of shape over people criticizing Democrats. I obviously disagree with voting third party but some of the left's criticisms are spot on. And I think they're right that Democrats don't run ideas that poll really well because their donors don't want them too.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

22. No

These people do NOT represent the left
