Comments by "Robert Steele" (@robertsteele474) on "Chomsky Pushes 40 Year Old Failed Voting Strategy" video.

"...all your heroes abandon you..." is the nature of all hero worship. That is what anyone gets for the adolescent belief in "heroes". It is their own damned fault for believing in the appearance rather than the objective repercussions of the actions of their "heroes".

"Chomsky isn't ageing well at all." Yeah, he looks like 91 year old man or something. ;-)

NONE executive orders or bills in either house of congress guarantee that you won't.

"Sorry, I think Hitler was unique." Nope. That is just propaganda and diversion.

@ReturnOfTheJ.D. Spoken like a true eugenicist.

@ReturnOfTheJ.D. Why were you picking on Hitler. You seem to agree with much of the science behind his eugenics policies? You confuse me. :-P

@joehoang4826 Judging by Congress's and the "Resistance's" laissez-faire attitude during the pandemic, I don't find it surprising at all. he at least appears to be "doing something".

@JundelMahdi He is Bhārat you ignorant cultural imperialist ;-)

@joehoang4826 Had me until your last sentence.

@dercannabist-infoaufklarun8938 Jimmy is a reactionary, not a progressive OR republican. He is not correct on all things and he definitely gaslights the more emotional he gets. I like him when he sticks to the facts or is overtly sarcastic considering his profession. I could do without the emotional leaps of logic and gaslighting.

@alvinanis3006 "Trump is expanding medicare in amidst of the pandemic" He is "considering it" only for the pandemic in an election year. The Don knows how to play to the crowd, but actions, not talk, speak louder than words. I will believe in a real M4A as a permanent policy when it happens. NONE of the current Administration OR Congressional ledaership will ever act on it. The will fight against it until the American Bastile day.

@BertoxolusThePuzzled Trump SAYS he is considering it. For the panicked. Only. People learn to listen. It is like Nancy proclaiming progress by paying unemployed peoples insurance deductibles for Cobra insurance that they cannot afford in the first place. Smoke, mirrors and lip-service.
1
@BertoxolusThePuzzled "Is he pushing for extremely tyrannical unconstitutional legislation like the Patriot act, which essentially nullified half the bill of rights in one stroke of a pen, like Bush did?" Did he sign the re-authorization and expansion? I believe he did. You are on the right side of the issue with the wrong person. Biden is by no means any better.
1
@BertoxolusThePuzzled "Trump never said climate change is a hoax." Again I believe you have reasonable concerns, but you need to make sure that there is not evidence to undermine your argument.

THEGREAT GEEKSBY ??? your point is that we should support failed policies because the opposition was already doing it???

@DaHanG "Sorry but what is in the White House is not standard neoliberalism." You are correct. It is the naked ideal of neo-liberalism

@paareth "In his VP term they dropped more..." Don't blame Joe for Obama's (or Hillary's) policies. Blame Joe for Joe's policies (which have a much longer notorious history). There is more than enough there for without overreaching.

@wilson lawson "Then he's a ''right winger'' who wants medicare for all, an end to regime change wars, an end to tax cuts for the rich and an end to banker bail outs..." What makes you think a majority of "right-wingers" are not for that? I am not talking about vocal the basement dwelling, video gaming, 420 vaping extreme wing-nuts that proliferate the internet comments sections (there are just as many on the extreme left BTW.) There a a majority of registered republicans and democrats who agree with those policies. They just don't trust the "opposition" party to deliver from experience. Maybe instead of deplorablizing the other, everyone should try thinking about how to work together to get out of the shtshow and get the shtzs out of the show. The shtz are not going to freely give up their power without a fight. That is not going to happen unless everyone stops fighting with each other and starts cooperating to fight the shtz in power.

@scaramouche8244 OFF TOPIC: I am always intrigued by peoples' choices of internet handles, whether they are supposed to be descriptive, sarcastic or self-deprecating. "Scaramouche... is a stock clown character of the 16th-century commedia dell'arte. Usually attired in black Spanish dress and burlesquing a Don, he was often beaten by Harlequin for his boasting and cowardice." It is a fun endeavor, especially during lock-down boredom; you learn about people, often contrary to expectations. :-)

@vaylinne6093 "There's literally no right-wing position here." I guess you haven't talked to the right right-wingers. Try listening to people instead of talking at them. That is called a conversation as opposed to a "comment".

@stevengarcia9234 The ability to think there is a distinction is incredibly dangerous.

@esinach (he has a speech impediment, he's not loosing it) They are not mutually exclusive. You need to go back and watch when he was at his "prime". They are out there unless you choose to ignore them. The differences are extreme. The Obama and Democrat majority in BOTH houses of Congress could passed M4A 2009-2010 if they chose to, instead we got watered-down Romneycare and the pandemic is proof of that failure as well.

Griff - Tell that to the LEGAL green card holders right now and find out the reality.

@subhadityasen5486 "Biden has close to zero progressive ideas,.." He is not close to progressive ideas even if you use negative numbers. ;-)
1
@subhadityasen5486 Be careful how you grammatically assemble your arguments. "You do if you get coronavirus, thanks to Trump" does not necessarily support point. ;-)

@TheSimonScowl "since Eisenhower" implies "after Eisenhower" BTW: Nixon, Ford(lest we forget), Reagan, GHWB, GWB, Trump. Pretty much a steady trajectory with exponential velocity. Much the same as Clinton, Obama, dodging the bullet with Clinton and (hopefully) Biden>Harris.

@robmo7033 explain how he is not like the fascist/ corporatism Mussolini (only after watching documentary footage of full il Duce speeches first) in both mannerism and content (except for the lack of hair, I grant you [temporarily]). ;-)

Jessica Sinclair "when no woman can get an abortion in the usa will you still have that stupid smirk?" Not when the paternity suits and child support kick in.

@TheSimonScowl EVERY remaining Trump supporter knows what he is supporting. Agreed. Corollary: Every Biden support is disillusion, except for the donors.
1
@BertoxolusThePuzzled Not necessarily inaccurate, just not unbiased since @II I defers from detailing "I know all the bad stuff about Biden and the Clintons and where neoliberalism comes from," Without that context , @II I cannot support the argument the "Trump is far more dangerous in many ways". It is however a good example of an unformatted and emotional rant. ;-)
1
@TheSimonScowl You are naive. And an idealist. More power to you. Status quo never changed the world ;-)

@III-vg4dp "You brought the term up, you asshat. You don't have the ability to rhetoric your way out of the hole you've dug if I continue to apply basic pressure." Great example of rhetorical sophistication you are demonstrating. "I'll leave because you're just another adult with a child's understanding of complex things " Says a child with only an academic understanding of complex things. "...and you aren't showing self-awareness so its a total waste of my time." Your lack of self-awareness is impressive and wold waste my time if I was not bored on lockdown. ;-) If people read these they at least may learn something that you did not. Probably not what you would want them to will learn ;-) "Knowing more than your circle of friends isn't an accomplishment...You're making a joke of yourself and the subject matter in attempts to cover up your hubris and ego." There is that self-awareness problem again. "I'm not saying that I am not demonstrating an ego..." The first step in overcoming a problem is recognizing you have a problem. "...or claiming authority in the subjects,..." You can claim whatever you like. It is proof that matters. "I have my bet on how you'll proceed, maybe you'll do differently, it doesn't matter to me and it will almost certainly make no difference to the overall outcomes, so do as you please which you already do even though it shows your weaknesses." The first indication that you have a problem is projecting that problem on others. The first step in overcoming a problem is recognizing you have a problem.
