Bill Maher’s show had a near perfect panel last night with Waters, JeanPierre, and Jeffries (and the interview with Al Franken back in rare form).

God remember how many times people on GM posted the meme of turd sandwich/douche or the Simpson one? Wonder how all those people are feeling right now.

I maintain these people just need to be left behind. Forget about dragging them towards progress or a better world. Let them die out. They’re not built to survive in a thinking person’s world. Social Darwinism.

No, people who voted for Trump wouldn’t have watched John Stewart, but people who voted for Soviet shill Jill Stein and Gary ‘Aleppo’ Johnson certainly would have.

They’ve already been left behind in every meaningful sense of the phrase...and they did it to themselves. They just haven’t realized it yet.

Being “Left Behind” is what they want!

Of note: Those idiots are still clinging to “Bernie would have won.” I got freaking attacked on Twitter the other night when I called someone out for it. It’s mind-boggling that they’re still clinging to this in the face of everything we’ve seen the past three weeks. Not one of them has the balls to say, “You know…

Oprah is the only one who could have slapped White Lady America out of their stupor and saved the election.

Seriously, he popped up around the time of Nov 9 to chime in with, “Trump voters aren’t all bad, they are just moderately affluent people who are worried about property taxes,” as though trading your fellow citizens’ health and safety for $20 makes you a good person. The only thing Stewart had over Noah is that he is…

It’s all speculation, but there were some people who didn’t vote at all or voted for third-party candidates. And it was their absolute right to do either. But anything we could have done to increase passion (or rationality) for HC would have been helpful, methinks. And Trevor Noah just doesn’t (yet) have the charisma…

Love me some Jon Stewart, but he went in early on the “they’re not racist, you’ve got to understand them” line on the tea party that now I have to hear about Trump voters. Maybe he would have gotten as nuanced about white supremacy as he is about other things.

I believe that Jon Stewart’s audience was not as monolithic as that of, say, Rachel Maddow or Amy Goodman (or, on the other side, Bill O’Reilly). Especially among the young, he had a widely diverse audience. And, as ʕ•ᴥ•ʔ : Make The Woods Great Again noted; he could have mobilised the voters who were so convinced that…

First thing I thought was “Progress!” then I got sad that voters believing SNL is more credible than the president is considered progress/the upside these days.

He would have made Trump a living joke every night. He wouldn’t have been the nominee.

The fact that both parties have failed to speak to average people’s real concerns- which is true- shouldn’t be confused with the notion that both 2016 candidates were equally bad- which is false.

To give a serious answer, and I’m sorry if it comes off a bit harsh, it’s not my intention, but people worryingly underestimate the depth of various “hatreds” in the US, be it regarding race, gender, religion, identity, education, etc. A huge portion of Trump supporters didn’t just stumble into him because there was…

They were pretty hopeless. Would have just called him a Clinton shill.

I think he would have gone a long way to shame the apathetic “they both suck” crowd who either voted 3rd party or not at all.

You’re only 3 weeks in and your most popular policy proposal (the one you spectacularly mangled implementing because your “best” people don’t read good/know stuff) is supported by roughly half the population? That is... not a thing anyone who understands numbers or politics would brag about.

I say this tongue-in-cheek but also..... not?
