He is one guy who will help us get there and the simplicity of his arguments and topic selection are great. Anecdotally, I had a stint in 2017 where I investigated the right after Trump won to figure out how. Before this I was Bernie or bust. Actually wrote in Bernie during the 2016 election cause I was ubset with how the DNC handled the primary. Went through people like Sargon and Shapiro during this and some of their populist arguments started to affect me. I broke out of it eventually and went back to my usual progressive self but a few of those arguments still stuck because a lot of progressive discourse didn't address them directly (watched Krystal on Rising, Kyle, Abe Lincoln's Top Hat, Maddow, Hasan Minaj and a few others long before I found Vaush. I just started watching him like two months ago tbh). They just seemed to never address them. Vaush was the one who finally broke those arguments' spells for me and that was cause of 1. his debate format forcing him to have to encounter/address them, and 2. the simplicity/layman nature of his arguments.
I just think there were many people on this channel that were much more worth listening: Wolff, Chomsky, Cornel West, Matt Taibbi.. (all liberal leftists)..
Fair enough. If you believe that HE is the guy who'll lead you there (which I don't)- go ahead!
Though, I still don't understand all cultism and zeal?

So there's my anecdotal answer to your question.
I'm glad for your transformation.

I can share portions of my youtube watch history if you have doubts.
