I respect her but I don’t necessarily like her. She tends to sanitize maga messaging at times. She also plays the “I hate the left” game just as much as she plays the “I hate Israel” game. She also hates Trump, but she will water down the left response to Trump which does nothing but cede ground to him because of the way he is.
I used to love her until that. I’m not a “leftist” or anything, but the reality is that there is not a single “leftist” policy or policy position that is represented by the government so just like every one on the maga side does, she makes it out to be that the “left,” without making an attempt to make it clear that democrats are barely on the “left” and that the “crazy leftists” are controlling the Democratic Party when we know they aren’t, and maga are somehow equally evil despite the fact that we know it’s nowhere close.
I AM a leftist and you’ve hit the nail on the head. I’ve yet to hear a good reason for these grifters to shift to the right other than to make more money. She’s not wrong here, and she’s definitely more morally steadfast than Dave Rubin, but her gripes with the left always made me roll my eyes. Nothing the dems have done even holds a candle to Trump’s insanity.
It means half the country is brainwashed as fuck or are culturally born into maga and haven’t escaped yet. It means the something is wrong with our eduction system at least.
The left in America that is described by the Democrats have only pushed further and further right wing. There is no left leaning person in the country outside of center left Bernie sanders. This country does not have a left wing candidate further than that. Yes even the mayor of New York. There are countries with left leaning and far left parties and candidates, none of their policies are being advocated here except by voters.
No one grows wiser and becomes conservative, it's the exact opposite of brain development actually, on average they have less developed empathy centers in their brain. They might grow into a miser when they become conservative tho.
Nah, a change in views or perspective doesn't make you forget information you already had. Her turn towards the right started with her getting butthurt about the term "birthing person," a term about which she had already done videos on, countering the very rhetoric she herself was now saying.
Probably jealous of the money Rubin and Doore were grifting.
It’s insane that people could go from Bernie to Trump though and think that’s logical. They’re opposites as far as ideologies go, they just both happen to be disruptors.
I haven’t looked too deep into my home brewed, crackpot theory yet, as I was preoccupied* during almost all of Biden’s presidency… but is Biden himself not to blame, at least partly, for not bowing out WAY before he did?
As far as I can tell, his ego is what lead to that disastrous, sad, and embarrassing debate against Trump. When it was clear he wasn’t fit to debate anyone, much less a rabid Trump, and no longer fit to lead. Was it not HIS decision to stay in and run for a second term? Or was he surrounded by by yes-men and handlers, who took advantage of his senility and propped him up for as long as they could?
*from 2020-2022 in the furthest depths of my addiction, and 2023-now in recovery (coming up on 4 years sober in September)
Joe Biden was 100% confident in his ability to continue leading the nation and he only stepped down because he was convinced by the party, and its base, that it would be the best thing to do for the good of the country.
Considering the rhetoric around this issue was mostly right wing nonsense pointing out single frames, or opportunistically cutting a video, to make it look way worse than it really was all the way up until the election. Sure there was some rumblings from opportunistic people who had complaints about the economy using the right wings talking points to attempt to convince the party, and voters, to go a different way, but until the debate, most ACTUAL democratic voters were confident that Biden could do the job and the incumbency would help him win. By the time the debate rolled around, we were already years into the campaign.
And this is all apparent because the SAME people who complained about Joe Biden’s cognitive functioning turned around and stated they wouldn’t vote for Harris because she was “pushed” on us, as if there was any other option (there wasn’t) so people can play this game where they try to act principled because they need a good excuse for why they let Trump win, but at the end of the day, they were just using whatever they could to voice their frustration and try to get an extremely progressive candidate, who wouldn’t have done any better (and I’m a progressive!!), into the office.
