And that’s not a pie-in-the-sky dream, that’s what happened last November.

If any of this shit mattered, then Fucker Charleston wouldn’t be on teevee in 2023, would he? 

Do you think that fucker was convinced by Stewart’s reasoned argument? Fuck no. Shouting, snarking and condemning are just as effective when morons won’t listen to reason anyway.

Debate with the other side only validates them and makes the “unengaged, unaffiliated middle” see them as a viable option, which they are not.

I’ll quote Alliterator who already gave you the best answer:

I get accused of being a ‘centrist’ or a ‘right-wing apologist’ on here a lot, when really the only thing I’m advocating for is for the left to actually engage with what the right is saying - like, the actual points that they’re making - and learn to dismantle those.

Sorry - just the tone of the article seems surprised that Elvis’ granddaughter would be able to sing.

I see where you’re coming from but I disagree. Reason and logic do not work. Those are tools to explain to people who already agree with you why they’re right to think that way. If the left wants to win elections they need to manipulate and control the waves of hysteria that occasionally cross their base just like the…

Did you intend for that to make sense?

Every single “gun rights advocate” already knows that they are full of shit. They know they are spewing lies for profit. The same with every rightwing gun nut. They know its all bullshit. They just dont care. Classrooms full of dead kids mean nothing to these micropenis fuckwads. Sure, Jon Stewart destroyed him or…

Free speech does not mean you are entitled to a platform. Free speech does not mean you are entitled to a platform. Free speech does not mean you are entitled to a platform. Free speech does not mean you are entitled to a platform. Free speech does not mean you are entitled to a platform. Free speech does not mean you…

TIL it’s censorship to write about a person and quote their statements.

Man, for someone writing in an objective way, you sure are wrong about a lot of things.

No one on the right actually believes in free speech. They only believe in freedom from consequences for themselves and those with likeminded opinions. The idea that they have any kind of moral or logical high ground on this issue is laughable. As is the idea that anyone—be it a university, a traditional media outlet,…

If a speaker is invited to a public university, their speech is protected by the First Amendment. To deplatform them—no matter *who* they are—is censorship.

“I thought it was strategically appalling… get on that platform and eviscerate his ideas, get on that platform and expose him for the charlatan that he is. You push back hard. You’ve given him so much power by refusing to talk.”

This show is an absolute narrative and tonal mess. Each season is an attempt to restart from scratch. Characters change personalities and motivations from scene to scene in service to byzantine plots. And now with the 360° virtual sets for near everything, it’s completely ungrounded visually. But I keep watching cuz,…

My partner calls it Star Trek: Boyfriend, since about half way through the first season Burnham’s story is mainly about what she does because of her boyfriend. Especially the last couple seasons.

I actually don’t get blue-collar vibes from Pratt. He strikes me as the epitome of a rich pretty boy. I know he got his start playing a slob in ‘Parks and Recs’, but that never really worked for me.

The great irony, of course, is that Bebe Neuwirth is a wonderfully warm and super-talented human being and Kelsey Grammer is... Kelsey Grammer.
