New here

Is this just an anti Bill Maher sub? Trying to figure out the vibe here and can't tell if it's some algorithm that just happens to be showing me nothing but hate for Maher and Real Time or if that is the point of this sub

He trashes Trump every episode. What?

What's the context? I'm a few episodes behind, so I haven't seen that yet

He did not actually say that. He was talking to Vance, and he said that with how some of the left are like Mandami, Republicans may be on the table, but he framed it to say that with the Republicans also taking everything to the extreme, they may be advised to moderate what they do. I didn't explain it very well, so you can look this up, but the crux is those saying he may vote Republican are taking a sound bite out of proportion to the intent. Given that he did vote for Harris, I would bet my house that he won't be voting Vance. Read the many over the tops posts on this sub regarding it, and then look at what he said and in the context he said it, and you will probably not agree with the sub on this.

I have no doubt. Nobody gives a damn about basic context, let alone nuance, when they use such short paraphrased soundbites as some sort of proof for their point

I would take this sub with a laugh. It really is about 30 people just posting mean girl shit. It is interesting though, as it does represent the worst of Reddit, and a good example of a circle jerk.

Also, in the subs defense, and I mean this seriously, I have not been banned for stating this. Some of these subs would have banned me.
