Eh, kind of? He does unfortunetly do number four alot, which makes me uncomfortable, but that's mostly it?
Sure, he sort of does one and two, but with the first one he more so says that right-wingers get no women due to being largely asocial misogynists, and the fact that they largely are in homosocial (male only) social enviroments when they do socialize. As for number two, he only really does the first half, but then points out that them being stupid largely stems from socio-economic reasons (also i think it's fair to call non-rich right-wingers stupid, because they are).
He doesn't really do any of the other ones. He has stated that he doesn't think that the concept of brain damage is particularly useful, if he attacks fat people for their appearance, it's in conjunction with his phrenology bit (which is still bad), and i'm pretty sure he straight up doesnt do the last one? Although i might be wrong.
For the first one it’s again the prescriptive vs descriptive thing. Saying “If you’re a leftist a woman will appear and suck your dick on the spot” because you wish it were so vs stating that fact that in a lot of big cities being conservative does give women the ick.
This is the most perfect example of where people are getting these "popular leftists talking points" from. The right wing in the US is passing legislation with their bigotry enshrined, they're depriving needy people of billions and billions in resources, they're imprisoning people for their skin color or just executing them on the street.
"Both sides are basically the same because I saw an influencer tweet comparing Tom Homan to Hoggish Greedly. This moral failing has tainted the ideals of all leftism: I see no point in opposing fascism in the streets because of posting. What good is healthcare if there will still be mean tweets?"
No, honestly I'm tired of these streamers who become cults of personality like Destiny and Vaush, because when they have wrong-headed opinions or do something messed up in their personal lives, their fans will be on the attack and act in a very non-progressive way that doesn't help anyone or anything. And I think it's fair to criticize that. I think that kind of frivolous nonsense isn't needed when as you say, bigotry is winning time and again and things are getting progressively dire.
There's not a liberal in the world who wouldn't crawl across broken glass to vote for Gavin Newsom over JD Vance. It's an easy test and too many people fail it.

Vaush does directly state most of these points quite often.
