  1. At this point a certain segment of self-proclaimed "Progressives/Leftists" (mostly types who are HA Goodman and Sane Progressive fans) seem to be going off the rails. I think your channel is full of those types and that's why you're getting this negative feedback. The type of so-called Progressives who are attacking Justice Democrats and Our Revolution nonstop. The type of people who now don't like Bernie and call him a "sellout" and a "sheepdog" and are now abandoning or coming after Tulsi too. At this point, I think these people are less so Progressives or Leftists and more so just Anti-Democrats. They're nursing a white-hot grudge/vendetta/hate-boner for the DNC and the Democratic Party in general to the point where it's less about being Progressive and just about opposing the Democratic Party no matter what. They just take the opposite stance of whatever the stance the Democrats have on an issue out of spite and hatred. They hate or distrust anyone and everyone who refuses to leave the Democratic Party and wants to take it over instead of going 3rd Party. You have to #DemExit like they did or you're a sellout. Since the corporate Democrats are latching onto this Russia stuff, they oppose it simply because the corporate Democrats are attracted to it. That and because they believe if there's any truth to Trump colluding with Russia or Putin that somehow also means Wikileaks is evil and Hillary was cheated. While that's certainly what a lot of corporate Democrats are hoping for, two things can be true simultaneously: It can simultaneously be true that Wikileaks is not a Russian agent and Russia didn't cause Democrats to lose the Election; and that Trump is colluding with Russia to get sanctions lifted for them in exchange for Russian oligarchs hooking Trump Enterprises up with lucrative deals. Both can be true simultaneously and the Anti-Democrats seem to miss that. They think if ANY part of the "Trump-Russia" stuff is true it must be interpreted that the "Russia-Wikileaks caused the Democrats to lose" BS must also be accepted as true. That, or they simply don't want the corporate Democrats to be even partly correct about ANYTHING. Hence why they twist themselves into logical pretzels and call you a "TYT drone" and ironically end up defending Trump. Mike, do yourself a favor and ignore these people. They're not Progressives anymore, they're just Anti-Democrats. They'll defend Trump and claim he's totally innocent if that's what it takes to spite or oppose the Democrats. You, Kyle and others are trying to help Progressives rise. They're simply still smarting over the rigging of the Primaries and the knifing of Bernie (which I completely understand their anger), but they've become obsessed with it and let the anger turn into a hatred that's consumed them. It's become an obsessive, all-consuming hates that causes them to lash out at and hate Bernie and now Tulsi (because she recently expressed concern about Trump's Russia ties) and anyone and everyone who wants to take over the Democratic Party rather than live to spend all day every day cursing the Democratic Party and opposing anything a Democrat says or does out of spite. They're Captain Ahab hunting Moby Dick, and like Ahab they'd rather go down to the last struggling with the Democratic Party, from Hell's heart stabbing at it and use their last breath spitting at it over the Primaries instead of taking it over or using it. Expect Tim Black and Hard Bastard to also accuse you of "selling out". Some of these #DemExit folks see any opinion other than "Trump is completely innocent and John Podesta made it all up out of whole cloth, everyone in the world is simply lying on Trump for Hillary's sake" as a mark that you're a corporate Democrat. Even an opinion like "I'm not convinced of collusion but I agree he should be investigated and seems like he may not be telling the whole truth".

  2. @ratatatuff - Really, man. WOW. I mean, I'm still as pissed off as the next Leftist about the fucked up 2016 Democratic Primary, but holy shit. Some "Progressives" and "Leftists" have become absolutely goddamm OBSESSED with the injustice of it. Like they still relive it in their heads every day. Some are so obsessed and consumed with resentment and revenge against the Democratic Party that they're willing to defend Trump and be ready to declare him innocent just because Democrats believe he's guilty of collusion. That or they think all investigation of crimes in the US should stop until everyone at the DNC is put in jail. They don't seem to realize it can simultaneously be true that Trump is colluding with Russia and Putin, but ALSO true that Wikileaks is not a Russian agent and the leak was an inside job. It can be true that Trump has a sweetheart deal with Putin and Wikileaks and Russia did not cost Hillary the Election, that she wasn't somehow cheated and just lost because she sucks. Because corporate Democrats hope the Russians made Hillary lose doesn't mean Trump is therefore completely innocent and all this Russia stuff is made up out of thin air by the mean ole DNC. Unless everyone in Washington, including Republicans and Fox News, are colluding with the Clinton Campaign to bring down Trump with lies. That's highly unlikely.

  3. The kind of people I'm talking about, even if they admit something is up with Trump, will always revert to "But the Neoliberal Democrats also do bad things and have gotten away with it, therefore let's let Trump off the hook or not investigate him". Or "Well, if Trump goes down Mike Pence will be President. So, let's get off of Trump's case and stop digging so Pence doesn't become President."

  4. @BillyBowlster - Exactly. The hilarious thing is that I'm far less "purist" than thsy are and im a full-blown Libertarian Socialist while most of them are just Social Democrats or left-liberals. Lol I think its because I realize that the US has to evolve towards full-on Socialism becoming a socially acceptable political stance, hence why I love Bernie (aside from him seeming like a good person and a rare honest politician) because he's pulling the voting public and the US Overton Window leftward while making it okay, even popular, to be an "out" Socialist. He's demystifying and de-stigmatizing Socialism for everyone.

  5. @BillyBowlster - You're right, even though they claim to be "Leftists" they essentially might as well be alt-Right because, like the alt-Right, they believe all the world's problems begin and end with the Democratic Party and anti-Trump Republicans. If you notice, a large portion of Sane Progressive, HA Goodman, Tim Black and Hard Bastard's subscribers and comment sections are comprised of alt-Right Trump supporters because they share the same viewpoint (Democrats are responsible for all problems in the world) and they almost always end up defending Trump. They keep declaring that Trump is completely innocent and almost everything negative about Trump are all just pure lies made up by the MSM, Podesta and Clinton/Obama agents, or they constantly deflect with "Well, Democrats did [X]!!!" Look at their channels. Almost no videos criticizing the Republicans or Trump, all just endless complaing about the Democratic Party and putting 100% of the blame for America's problems on the Dems. They're not Progressives, they're just out for blood and revenge against the Democratic Party because of the fucked-up 2016 Democratic Primary and want a pound of flesh from all American voters who haven't #DemExited. They're just Anti-Democrats, not Leftists. Hence why they often end up just being de facto Trump apologists. They are to Progressivism what Marvel Comics' "The Punisher" is to justice: not truly an agent for Justice or Good, just a vigilante completely consumed by hatred and revenge who simply kills anything even vaguely related to his topic of obsession (Crime or Criminals). Not to make the world a better place, just out of an obsession with personal revenge for what criminals did to him and his family. Likewise, they're not trying to help left-wing causes, they just want sweet, black revenge and political boodshed from Democrats for the Primaries and will turn on anyone and everyone not serving that end. Even the guy they were supposedly originally avenging (Bernie) because he's not consumed with hate and revenge like they are.
