Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

MODERATORS
Honestly radio is dying much like television.
Podcasting is the better space to get going.
Also tictoc.
We need to get the young folks of the incel pipeline .
Joe Rogan and other right-wing cranks.
A significant part of the rise of fascism in Europe among young people.
Anyway I do like podcasts, and it's full of good content (and so is tiktok presumably) but neither are lacking right-wing content.
It's better in my opinion to meet people where they're at. Radio isn't where they're at. That was my point.
The Majority Report on YouTube is fantastic.
The Daily Beans.
Beau of the Fifth Column.
I've Had it Podcast.
Vaush.
Pod Save America.
Bad Hasbara.
There are many more, but it's a matter of putting ears and eyes on where they need to be.
Getting young folks off the incel pipeline is going to be really tough in today's environment.
Incel is the new fat. Most of society immediately treats them like scum that did it to themselves. In a lot of cases both fat people and incels are at fault, but trashing them isn't going to fix the issues.
Your need to understand them and how they got there to try and change them or at least reduce new ones from being created. Not just hate them.
Most of the podcasts I listed represent counter arguments that may help. There's no simple way to change thought, but exposure to counter messaging, might bring about change.
Agreed
