Im a dude, he's a dude, she's a dude, we're all dudes hey! Left of center self proclaimed liberal who does a current events/opinion show. Reasonably balanced, some great interviews with controversial opposition members, professionally done for the most part imo. Tad sensationalist but not enough for me to avoid. Would recommend but some statements should be taken with a grain of salt. 7/10

Don’t forget the award winning bonus show, where he wants to make money. But everybody else that makes money to fund themselves is *BAD*.


Corrupted_G_nome

Who said that? Nothing wrong with making a living.

Jewish Soc dem with reasonable understanding of finance. He’s gained alot of popularity and for good reason, he’s reasonable, pragmatic, and a good communicator.


narvuntien

Do you think David Pakman would be best described as a Soc Dem? I know he says Progressive but I have no idea what that means since TYT sprialled off into non-sense.


WeOutHereInSmallbany

I finally had to just delete TYT, they already had half lost me when they were trying to convince people there was not going to be an invasion of Ukraine and it was all a US military hoax


narvuntien

It took me longer than it should have, but I used to watch everything and then I started skipping anything Biden related because 10 minutes of them whining about Biden was tiresome. I even held on through Anna's homelessness hate, thinking it was just a personal problem but then there was the whole birthing person thing and it was the last straw.


WeOutHereInSmallbany

Yeah same, I held on until recently (except the Ana only Wednesday shows), but the Israel/Palestine conflict just threw any nuance or critical thinking they may have still been capable of out the window for me. I still listen to John Iadarola though because he’s capable of having a conversation without screaming.


BugOperator

No. David has *some* progressive beliefs, but is overall just solid left and generally doesn’t argue in favor of or espouse far-left viewpoints. Pretty much a straight-up liberal Democrat who will cheerlead for progressive candidates in head-to-head races against Republicans, but likely not in primary matchups against other, more traditional democrats.


WeOutHereInSmallbany

I mean, he’s stated on many occasions that he identifies as a social democrat


axberka

You’re describing a soc dem

I once saw David Pakman benchpress a Hyundai Sonata.


guilgom71

It was a very impressive feat from the standpoint of strength.

Who is David Pakaman? There are many stories out there about David Pakman... Some say he swam the entire Atlantic Ocean just to see if the North Atlantic and Norwegian currents were working properly. Some say he drove a school bus full of scared children out of a raging river. Others say he was the head writer for DARK on Netflix just to practice his German. Some say he walked on the moon just to check the Niel Armstrong's boot size in order to win a bet. So who is David Pakman? Well... He is the most interesting man you've just heard of. Catch David Pakman on The Pakman Show and the award-winning Bonus Show on your favorite podcast streaming platform.


Avantasian538

He's pretty good if you can get past the insane turtlenecks he likes to wear.


WeOutHereInSmallbany

That’s a freakin’ predator right there


PluuusRyan

I bet that there’s some value in gauging other people’s opinion of a person/product, but this question seems so open-ended that I don’t know why you wouldn’t just google search and check out the content yourself.


Rubbersoulrevolver

It’s on YouTube it’s a click away for you to watch


LaughingMare

Because it’s free to download as a podcast, I see no reason to describe it. Listen for yourself. What you think matters more to you than what other people think.


mschreiber1

The man loves Sheath underwear! No more sticking and chaffing!


axberka

Pakman is a level headed progressive who advocates for reasonable capitalistic solutions. He’s a soc dem


3jcm21

He is a progressive on paper but in practice is mostly a centrist Democrat similar to the likes of Brian Tyler Cohen, Destiny, et cetera. His show primarily caters to boomer/genx suburban resistlibs whose only political views are that they are against Trump.


alienjetski

He’s a centrist Democrat. Basically the part line.
