Tim Pool is a known quality and a known quantity. He has always been center-to-left, and has never abandoned that position. He's never really pretended to be anything other than what he is. He has never "betrayed" anyone.
I still listen to him on occasion as a touchstone of how the normies feel, since his positions seem fairly close to that. I'll avoid the click-bait stuff which he puts out once in awhile, but generally he makes for a good summary, and acts as a check against the cultish bubble-bullshit that infects the left so hard.
exactly. Last thing I ever want is to become a cultist... a healthy ideology, like a healthy religion, requires that you constantly question it, to avoid the blind obedience to a person or idea that afflicts all too many in this world.
Tim Pool belongs to a rare endangered species, old-school Liberals. They should not be confused with todays Left-Wing Extremists. Liberals were Left-of-Center--they were "progressive" on many issues but they still respected the Constitution (or most of it): free speech, the right to privacy, due process. Ultimately, they still believed in American Exceptionalism.
There was a time when "Cold War Liberals" walked the earth. They started getting outnumbered by the Far Left after the Cold War ended, when there was no longer a check on the Leftward drift in the Democrat Party. (Or for that matter, in the Republican Party.)
In today's Democrat Party "Centrist" means Socialist-Authoritarian, Left-of-Center means Communist-totalitarian. That's pretty much it.
I don't know if he did that right away, but I know that he has spent a lot of time in recent days debunking Biden being PE.
I agree he is as fence sitting as ever, but his position is basically that despite his head telling him Bide will win, he can't shake the feeling Trump will.
Never understood the obsession with Pim Tool with some people around here.
All he does is read stories and then give some retarded analogy to try to explain it in his own retarded way.
“Think of it like this, have you ever played fallout? No? Well, there’s a dick in my ass that I didn’t ask for but I’m not removing it. That’s kind of what this is like.” - Tim Pool, probably.
Nobody obsessed over him. He was seen as a representative/representation of the centrists/normies if he could be won over and support Trump, his followers and many like him would likely support Trump as well
WTF are you talking about? He cucked right after the election and was calling Biden 'President Elect' and Trump 'Mr. Trump' immediately.
He's always been a fence-sitter tho. He didn't "betray" anyone that's just who he is
He's a moronic narcissist.

And as a check against the right.

That's exactly why I listen to him, too.

Why? You are already here. You are already ahead of the news by a couple days.
