    They're just realizing it pays more to be a Republican grifter

    the problem with going toward the center when the overton window has shifted so far is that you're one step away from being a far right extremist

    Somewhere I’d said it before, but TYT is what you get when you try to do left politics without a Marxist analysis.

    I have a lot of thoughts on this topic, but I think one important thing to remember about the examples you cited are that these are market forces reacting to perceived (or anticipated) shifts in the market as well as trying to shield themselves from likely retribution from an openly vindictive administration.

    I also think the media has a vested interest in reporting on the supposed vibe shift to justify their own shifts rightward, and it starts to become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    Speaking of TYT pivoting reactionary. Kyle Kulinski has also been kind of weird lately. Sam Seder and Democracy Now are the only pre-2016 progressive online media whose brains haven't been cooked.

    Hasan just played a clip today where Charlie Kirk said "Cenk and Ana Kasperian of TYT were the only ones on the left who had the right messaging. Pro- left wing economic populism, pro-UBI, Pro-medicare for all, but also Pro-border security and anti-crime. If the Dems listened to them they could have beat us on that message of socialist nationalism". That is moreso Kirk telling on himself of who he wants as the loyal opposition than giving the cheat codes to beat them I think.
