  1. Sorry, but I have to disagree with you on this one. Letting Russia get whatever they want will embolden Putin. There is a wide spectrum of responses between appeasement and total war, so maybe we should look in that range for the appropriate response.

  2.  @bpdmf2798  Or they read Ayn Rand books and thought that they were John Galt.

  3. A lot of people defended Jimmy Dore in the beginning and eventually realized that Sam was right all along, such as Progressive Voice and Rational National.

  4. "I have a problem with all the amendments that they're adding." Judging by his earlier remarks, it sounds like he really has a problem with number 13.

  5. ​ @bernardbarry447  GE used to give employees stock, too. Didn't make Jack Welch or Ronald Reagan any less right wing, though.

  6.  @davidstewart1757  Krystal Ball is making money insisting that we should work with fake populists on the right. Therefore, she cannot be judged in isolation for Saagar "send the National Guard to BLM protests" Enjeti. So, let's look at the average day on Rising. KB: Democrats are bad, so don't vote for them. SE: Democrats are bad, so vote Republican. What do you think the end result of that message is going to be?

  7. Indeed. Just like it's also a coincidence that the only bailout that he ever thought was a good idea was buying out slaveholders.

  8. And THAT is why I am glad that I gave her a dollar to help her get on the debate stage.

  9.  @mfit7110  That was the Bush Administration. Obama took office in January 2009. TARP was October 2008. Even your initial comment said "2008." If you want to be taken seriously, at least learn basic facts.

  10. "Business interests are already pretty well represented by the other 99 Senatirs, so they don't need my help." Paul Wellstone This logic also applies to Cabinet members

  11. "I'd rather have schools controlled by the PTA." I'm a member of the PTO at my daughter's school. Our role is not to be administrators. Our role is to do fundraisers and help with extracurricular events. I think that most of the people on the PTO would say that they have no desire to watch over the actual classroom. Does this man understand how anything works?

  12.  @Dog-999i  And she called Medicare for All "un-American."
    39
  13.  @mbealhighjump  Yes. When she brings up the communist stuff in places where it makes no sense to do so, it is quite cringy.
    39
  14.  @eddietheberniebro5503  "Voting down ballot is important." Kyle Kulinski when founding Justice Democrats "It just looked too dirty." Kyle Kulinski to Joe Rogan about why he didn't vote in 2020 despite several key legislative races

  15.  Mari Jayne  Daily reminder: Trump did not stop travel from China, he only stopped Chinese nationals from entering the United States. World of difference.

  16. These are dummies who think that yelling over top of people is making a great point. One of the dummies said "it's a debate" to me, and I pointed out that a debate is supposed to have a back and forth and sometimes one person needs to just shut up to listen to what the other person says.

  17. Most of the libertarian callers don't seem to understand the inherent cruelty of their position. For this jerk, the cruelty is the point.
    38
  18. And one of those is the exact opposite of the others.
    38
  19. Well, there's the old adage that libertarians are Republicans with bongs. I think this guy forgot that it's not a good idea to use the bong before trying to make a coherent argument.

  20. "It's just a banana, Michael. How much could it cost, ten dollars?" Lucille Bluth

  21. Once you go outside of the metro area, there is some strange stuff. I remember driving to the Poconos one time with my daughter, and in Bucks County (a swing county, but the wingers used to keep their insanity quiet), and I saw a homemade sign that said "Thank Trump for Saving Us from the Coronavirus" and something about building the wall. Even if you pretend that Der Orangefuhrer did get the wall built, coronavirus didn't come from Mexico, and a wall wouldn't keep it out. Even though I know his campaign is doomed, it is still depressing seeing all the Mastriano signs even in my fairly Democratic area. It's like the crazies have just decided to let the freak flag fly. And it's never one Mastriano sign. They always put several in their yard.

  22. It's because people don't pay attention to what he says and notice his extreme confidence. He's like Ben Shapiro.

  23. ​ @Patrick-sg7cm  Some of us are born with a trust fund waiting for us, or rich parents willing and able to pay to nurture our talents. That's also not counting the contacts that make the track to success much more easily gliding.

  24. This is the real Tulsi Gabbard. Don't forget that she started her political career working with her dad to try to ban gay marriage in Hawaii at the turn of the century.
    37
  25. "Shouldn't we kill people who don't get the vaccine?" The virus is doing a pretty good job of that on its own.
    37
  26.  @trentirvin2008  Indeed. My uncle was born in 1947, and he got polio. Couldn't walk until he was five. It so angers me to see such stupidity that willfully makes people seek. At least there was an excuse with my uncle getting sick, because there was no vaccine until he was eight. Watching the PSAs and how eager people were to get the polio vaccine is amazing compared to the idiocy we see today.

  27.  @zacg_  That is so unfair! Ron Burgundy is actually funny.
    36
  28. That is so unfair! Danny DeVito is a genuinely good person who just happens to play lovable scumbags.

  29. Solidarity forever/ Solidarity forever/ The union keeps us strong.

  30. I get the idea of not using the medical system to send a message, but at a certain point, it becomes a question of resources. If cancer patients or people who get hit by a car get bumped because of people willfully and wantonly disregarding their own health and the health and safety of others, the bigger immortality is that they take a hospital bed from someone who needs it. I'm not saying to refuse all coronavirus patients, or even all of the unvaccinated patients, but there comes a time when we must acknowledge that finite resources exist.

  31. Well, I think it says a lot that her first project after Bernie was called Bad Faith, and she somehow managed to alienate the nicest, most forgiving man in national politics.
    34
  32.  @harveymanfredsenjenson5417  You mean because she didn't want a stupid tactic that she knew wouldn't work, and instead used her leverage intelligently to get the paygo rules weakened so we were able to get the coronavirus bill and we're on the verge of getting several trillion for infrastructure? What a horrible advocate!
    34
  33. The Biden campaign needs to run this ad into the ground.
    34
  34.  @BloodMoneyLLC  Funny how literally every argument that Jimmy Dore made in their 2016 debate proved to be false, while literally everything Sam Seder said would happen under a Trump Presidency came to be.
    34
  35. Good to see the correction on the facts on the ground, but the problem is with a knee-jerk anti-American foreign policy. Others can be imperialists, too. And don't hide behind growing up and seeing Iraq, either. I lost a year of my life to that nonsense, and it wasn't too hard to see that a country amassing forces on the border of a country they had invaded eight years prior is up to something. There is a whole spectrum of options between appeasement and total war, so while your show is good for many things, and it is the one I watch the most of political YouTube shows, insisting on saying "this doesn't mean we should go to war" isn't helpful.

  36. "There's no such thing as a moderate Republican in Congress. They might say that they only vote with the President seventy percent of the time, but they vote with the President one hundred percent of the time when he needs their vote." Barney Frank, 2005

  37. ​ @jaxmiller724  "only very recently have people attempted to align it with socialism." Socialism has been considered a subset of left-wing political thought for centuries.

  38.  @ObamaTheGreat  Michael would always seem to take a while to realize that someone was grifting, but once he did, he called it out. I don't think his blind spot was big enough to not see what Greenwald is doing. Toward the end, he slowly seemed to be turning away from Rising, shifting from ardent to half-hearted defense, but he definitely wouldn't have followed Greenwald down the rabbit hole.

  39.  @dr.wolfstar1765  Well, I'm 42, and I've talked to people both older and younger in the comments.
    33
  40.  @BOYVIRGO666  It was a blood clot in his throat. A horrible way to die.
    33
  41. Not as much as Sinema. Manchin is way too much of a retail politician to truly love being the villain.
    32
  42. ​ @glennfarris305  It was literally caused by a faulty brake after a regulation was repealed requiring railroad companies to get better ones.
    32
  43.  @triknives  If you think that's bad, look at the one where he begs Ben Shapiro for a dinner or cake with him and his husband for his anniversary.
    32
  44. A fun question for libertarians is how they expect "competition" to get rid of monopolies if they end antitrust laws. I guess they have never heard of natural monopolies, either.
    31
  45. And apparently, they forgot that part in Matthew 2 where you find out that Jesus was a refugee.
    31
  46. ​​ @frost1183  He's so "pro-abortion" that he celebrated when Roe was overturned. As far as those others go, he's definitely not the T part, and he spends all of his time taking the right wing position. He's doing the Dave Rubin grift but he's a few years behind.
    31
  47.  @Armed-Forever  What makes it a "states' rights issue"? This was the same argument used for slavery, civil rights, and basically any excuse for inaction.
    31
  48. Darn right! At that point, net worth is nothing more than a willy-waving contest.
    31
  49. No, that's Sinema. Manchin knows he's not hip.
    30
  50. A reminder that when it comes to Republican elected officials (with the possible exception of some city councilmember or something) that there are only degrees of bad.
