They post nearly all their content on youtube, and there's quite a number of different youtube channels within their franchise, but their main channel is here.
They primarily cover US political news from a strongly liberal, progressive & atheistic perspective, and are very popular with young people, myself included. They're making a serious effort to pass a constitutional amendment through the states to get money out of federal politics, as they view corruption as the cause of the vast majority of America's political problems. They tend to mock and deride mainstream news channels, aka "corporate media", which they view as being corrupt propaganda mouthpieces for the corporations and corrupt political establishment."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

That's the key. As HE sees it, which, from what I have seen recently, needs to be acquainted with reality.
There's no filter.
My people adore that.

Originally posted by Starlight View PostI suspect some important things in the phrasing of this are being lost in the retelling.
Clinton has made some major foreign policy errors. She's been, on the whole, particularly bad at foreign policy. Sanders, on the whole, has been pretty much on the money on foreign policy. It's no stretch at all to say that Sanders is better on his current foreign policies than Clinton is, and has historically been better on foreign policy than she has. It's totally reasonable for a Sanders supporter to attack Clinton on her foreign policy mistakes, and it's commonly done.
IMO, what Clinton's foreign policy experience teaches us is that nobody should let her anywhere near foreign policy again. And I would say exactly the same thing about Dick Cheney.
We don't know a whole lot about how Sanders would actually handle foreign policy because he has attempted to deflect the conversation back to economics at every opportunity. What we have seen is unpromising, though. Far from being a paragon of human rights, Sanders was supportive of press crackdowns in Nicaragua: http://www.thedailybeast.com/article...-a-lesson.html While Sanders was correct to be critical of CIA policy in Latin America, mere agreement with this observation is about all I will praise him for."I am not angered that the Moral Majority boys campaign against abortion. I am angry when the same men who say, "Save OUR children" bellow "Build more and bigger bombers." That's right! Blast the children in other nations into eternity, or limbless misery as they lay crippled from "OUR" bombers! This does not jell." - Leonard Ravenhill

Sen. Dianne Feinstein, one of Hillary's biggest defenders in Congress, is declaring "enough is enough" as it is becoming increasingly apparent that Hillary has repeatedly lied about nearly every facet of her continuing to burgeon email scandal. No, she's not saying that she's fed up with the constant deception but rather that its time to drop it and move on.
On Sunday's This Week on ABC Fienstein lamented that poor old Hillary is just "a woman who wants a little bit of a private life" and wants to be able to correspond with family and "not have somebody looking over her shoulder into her emails." Apparently Fienstein is too ignorant to understand that you can get separate email accounts for just that sort of thing. Or more likely hopes that the public is too stupid not to realize that.
Feinstein then went on to say "I don't think we should make a federal case over it."
To nobody's surprise guest host Jonathan Karl didn't point out the gaping hole in that flimsy excuse but dutifully changed the topic.
