How much do social media personalities matter in the broader political culture? How do they influence the public? If they do matter, what does it mean for the future? Twitch streamer and 2021 Neoliberal Shill Bracket Champion Bastiat joins the podcast to discuss how politics is discussed on social media. We talk about how social media influences young people's politics, the relationship between social media and extremist politics, and whether or not Youtube, Twitch, Twitter and other sites are worth focusing on as a political strategy.
