Well done video with ten points that I doubt any DU would disagree with.

.... If I didn't watch Youtube I wouldn't have learned to tie flies. Or improve my photography skills. Or learn how to install a new battery in my iPhone or to cook a cajun jambalaya or to enjoy some laughter from SNL on Sunday morning.

At 73 Youtube is a door to new adventures. But I have never considered it as universal clickbait.

Did you watch the "clickbait" or are you voting like the Senators "I don't need to see or hear that" The Lindsey Graham doctrine?

A true post is about thought and discussion....

People get their info from different sources. We don't all offer only our own thoughts.

I believe you have been on DU long enough to actually remember true discussion...maybe you have changed...

judgmental.

Yes, I've been here awhile and think everything people post is valid.

I would call it disappointed...or, I have unrealistic expectations of community standards....referring to DU peer to peer interactions.... no wonder so many old time DU'ers have abandoned the board....discussion was standard then...Yes, times, they are a changing.

assignments before the class discussion the next day.

I can't remember his name but he does those "today I found out" videos.

This particular video was put up on Aug 31, 2019.

He sure nailed what has happened up through last Friday 01/31/2020.

not every topic he tackles is as serious as this (well, not too many topics could possibly be as serious as this!), but, serious or trivial, he does the homework and produces factual information.

I can see why someone might think this doesn't lend itself to discussion, simplybecause there is so much fact in such a short time that it comes across as overwhelming. Possibly ten posts with transcripts of the explication of each point would be more discussable, because each one would have less to think about.

But I don't see a problem with putting up just this one video. It should indeed be widely seen.

but the "why" and "how" and "who" parts are lacking. The vast majority of the shifts in power he points out have been instigated and promulgated by the GOPee. So, instead of a blanket implication that it's "America" at fault, he could--ahem--direct criticism where it's due.
