I played ball. I gave the DNC 8 years to sort this shit. They are a sunk cost. You cannot rely on them. Look at last fucking election. You can’t tell me it was strategy to get your ass kicked at every turn. Yes, yes, the media can shape your narrative any way you’d like but just look at the facts.

1.) Your “ally” starts a war in the middle east and is so reckless it’s indistinguishable from genocide. Then, you tie yourself to that wagon alienating your entire base.

2.) Your elderly leader runs for a second term despite everyone around him identifying his failing health and after he said he would be a “transitional president”

3.) Despite his opponent being a raving lunatic the media crafts a narrative where the leader of your party is a geriatric joke that is so salient he is forced to step down. His entire campaign riding on one useless debate that hasn’t won a president elect anything in the last two cycles.

4.) Despite every other developed country voting out incumbents because of world wide inflation you hand pick someone apart of the current administration to run. Even given the opportunity to distance themselves from the mentally feeble current president, they double down and say, “they won’t change a thing.”

5.) You lie and say primarys can’t be held in 3-4 months

6.) You run a black women with the strategy of appealing to right leaning moderates. Moderates who look at the inherent bigotry in the GOP and say, “that doesn’t bother me.”

7.) You advertise that you’re endorsed by some of the most reviled conservatives of the last 25 years.

If you’re running a campaign please make a rule; ‘we will not doing anything that if a 7th grader read it a text book 10-20 years from now they would laugh about how stupid we were.’

I refuse to believe this party is so disconnected from reality that when faced with the threat of fascism, real fascism, this what they come up with.

Nearly all personal insurance should fundamentally be a government function. Insurance is principally there to assist you when shit goes south. This is also effectively one of the foundational reasons humans collect into societies. But we’ve let runaway American capitalism and abstracting money to the point where it is treated like a resource in an of itself rather than the allocation algorithm it is completely pervert our understanding of how government and private enterprise respectively should interact with society.

No idea who Jack is, but Josh is a stand-up comedian who has been releasing a new hour of topical material on a near weekly basis for the last few years.

I assure you people did say that, particularly on Reddit, after his 8:46 set. Just because you don’t like him doesn’t mean he wasn’t pretty popular at one time. The Chappelle Show could have kept going, it had strong viewership. When Dave returned to comedy after his hiatus he was mostly liked. And when he did his 8:46 set about George Floyd, his popularity hit an all-time high with everyone but the alt-right.

You’re not wrong about him being a jackass, and I would say bigoted more than racist, since his hate is broader than racism. But yes, people did laude him, for a brief time

I honestly thought Louis CK was going to take up the Carlin mantle. But instead he invited people up to his hotel room to watch him wank onto a mantle.

Dave is an absolutely world class comedian, but I believe (and I’m pretty sure most of Lemmy would agree) his personal politics are trash.

Bill Burr is also a world class comedian, but I like most of his personal politics.

The problem is that unlike writing, music and movies unless you are on stage doing a “character” your personal politics IS your act and its very hard to separate the art and the artist.

I think he did it during Fear Factor. He was the second grouping of hosts with Doug Stanhope after Corolla and Kimmel left

I dunno what this Joe Rogan is, but it sounds like something you’d put on a bald head to make it grow hair

I liked his commentary on those squirrel videos.
