I found you through Traes videos on YouTube. I am not on Twitter. I have Instagram attached to a business page that I never use. And Facebook is really people I know and hilarious groups. Fuck Twitter if you can. I like how your brain works!

They can't charge you to vote. The 24th Amendment outlawed poll taxes.

I agree. We all just gotta do the best we can at the time.

And, give our fellow human beings the benefit of the doubt that they are doing the best they can at the time. (Sans psychopaths, which are extremely rare)

I also agree that most things in our lives are political.

Need a new road? Ain’t gonna happen without politics.

Women wanna vote? It didn’t happen without politics.

Wanna make an amendment to outlaw alcohol?! Politics.

Wanna make an amendment to legalize it again? Politics.

Wanna make an amendment to enable the people of each state to pick their senators? (There was a time the State legislatures picked them for us) Politics.

Politics is not inherently bad. It is bad when we allow our elected officials to become corrupt.

It’s up to us to hold them accountable.

I found you through the Weekly Skews and then looked into your stuff further. I'm a Canadian and you are right about people jumping to conclusions about peoples views/ intelligence over their accent.... eh

I think I still have an account, but Twitter hasn’t been a platform I’ve used in several years. I follow my podcasts in other places.

I found you through Trae’s liberal rednecks. I follow Neil Gaiman on twitter, and occasionally look at a couple lefties, but am not into twitter. I do Facebook to keep up with people from my home town. I hate that elon has power to misuse.

Love your essentially stream-of-consciousness commentaries when you go a bit off-track. Reminds me of really long emails my son would send during his first year of college. I’d get one and start chuckling to myself and my office partner would just smile and ask, “Jesse”? Yup.

You do more than make us smile, Corey, you make us think about so many things we absolutely should be thinking about.

First he's like: "Get ready, we're all moving to Mars!", and now it's: "Give me eight dollars."

Not on Twitter. I used to be on Twitter and left because for me, as a Black nonbinary Jew, Twitter was a hellscape long before the current asshat took over. And no, your current theory is not nutso. Looking forward to future content.

Found you through WellRed. Love all your podcasts & now Substack. I got off Twitter awhile ago and don’t miss it at all.

I live in Houston near Joel Osteen’s “church.” Can’t wait to hear your new comments on him.

I'm not on Twitter at all. I initially found you on YouTube through Trae Crowder. Thanks for your humor and integrity, Corey! I appreciate anyone who uses their talents and other resources to take principled stands and draw awareness to important issues. Wishing you continued success.
