#115 A Conversation About Progressive Politics, Censorship, M4A, & The New Democratic Regime...

In this episode I will be talking to Patrick Cote. I found Patrick when an episode of the "Status Coup" started playing on my YouTube and I got sucked in to watching. I was really impressed with his knowledge of the topics he was speaking about and how well put together his thoughts were. As I always do I started poking around the internet and trying to find him on social media. I ended up landing in the Twitterverse .
*
I followed Pat on his Twitter account and sent him a message, and invited him to come on the show and a few ideas about what we could talk about. To my surprise he was open to the the invitation and the topics and I got him booked to appear.
*
After Pat filled out the guest form is when I found out that he had been on one of my favorite shows that I follow "The Jimmy Dore Show". Also I started poking around some of Pat's links and found an appearance on Ron Placone's show talking about a parody that he co-wrote called "The Yass Kween Chronicles".
*
Coincidentally I had been trying to book Ron Placone on the show because he is a contributor to "The Jimmy Dore Show" and appears on it quite a bit. Ron is on the schedule for late March. Below is a question and answer I pulled from the guest form to give a little more info on Pat.

*
If you're interested we could talk about my prior parody account "Peter Douche" being banned from Twitter. It was a parody of "Peter Dauo" a former centrist propagandist, who is now a progressive ally. Long story short. It was a fun but useful parody that mocked him. I was banned from Twitter for "impersonation" although Twitter has clear guidelines for parody accounts that I was over-careful not to violate.
*
I woke up the next day, not knowing I was banned to find that "#FreePeterDouche" was trending on Twitter. (This story helps explain how I got a bigger platform/voice) The ban led to more media attention and I went on the Jimmy Dore Show to discuss censorship issues. The show with Jimmy Dore was then tweeted out by Julian Assange of WikiLeaks, which grew more attention.
*
As I mentioned on the show, I was going to use the attention to write a book, to ensure that instead of silencing me, I would gain a bigger voice. I followed up by writing my first parody book, "An Inconvenient Douche." Then, I followed that up with my recent book, "The Yass Kween Chronicles." Both books focus on the problems within the Democratic Party and on the media and propaganda used to prop up the corporate interests of the party.
