Yeah, they captured a moment and movement with their podcast, but the moment has changed. One can view them as the spirit of the radical, disenchanted millennial left - and this is where we're at now: deflated, defeated, and getting old. I appreciate them acting as a news source and they often platform people doing real work, so I think they're a force for good. What else is there for them to say, I guess?
Yeah, they’re stuck in 2016 and haven’t adapted to the political zeitgeist
In what way? People say Chapo hasnt adapted to the current zeitgeist but if anything, I feel like they dive too much in trying to adapt to a more current style that theyre not really comfortable with.
Honestly at times I wish they would do more media reviews and such. Theres not really much humor to be found in the current political environment. And they really just arent equipped without Matt to dive into anything deeper. Which is generally what most leftists pods are up to these days. And when Felix tries to offer up some real deep take by stating that "all of modern american politics is a reaction and counter reaction to 2020" for the 5 millionth time, it comes off kinda cringe worthy. Like yeah thats how history works lmao. Its a chain of events that respond to each other. Or when Will tries to interview guests and doesnt really have any questions beyond the surface level.
Its not so much that theyre stuck in 2016. Its moreso akin to Motley Crue trying to do grunge in the 90s when they should have just stuck to playing their old hits for the crowd that they had.
