  1.  @pbeston73  You miss the point completely. Do you honestly think that Bernie was the second most right wing Presidential candidate? That would be Tulsi Gabbard.

  2. What do you call a failed coup attempt that isn't punished? Practice.

  4. If they want to insist that such waste, fraud, and abuse exists, they need to specify where they are finding it.

  5.  @1neomonkey  Michael Brooks said that anyone who lives in a swing state should vote for Biden... and he said so repeatedly. Tells all we need to know about your honesty.

  7.  @TheBasedGreeg  True. The libertarian who called in was obviously trying to distort the analogy to try to make the coercion sound more justifiable. That's why his analogy was so tortured.

  8. "If someone pays me enough, I'll sell out." Jimmy Dore

  9.  @mjchakos1  Trump seeking help from Russia is hardly a conspiracy. He did it in plain sight.

  10. "Which side are you on?/ Which side are you on?" Song popular among union coal miners I guess we know the answer for the Dore Knobs.

  11.  @timreed402  If every word that Jimmy Dore said in that story was true, it was still sexual harassment. If she really did what he said she did, that isn't how you respond. Someone clearly never paid attention to the sexual harassment video at work.

  12. It's like Trump's tax returns. At a certain point, you have to wonder what could possibly be more embarrassing than the grief you get for hiding

  13.  @RocketmanRockyMatrix  Adam Kokesh did come on the show, and he also got into the same corner as the random libertarian callers do because the follow up questions show that it is a philosophy where no one thinks through all the way.

  14.  @BarnabyWild13  The difference? She hides behind her military service for everything from defending a war crime to the silver streak in her hair. Even now, she tells lies about some report in torture that just came out that she didn't have time to read, even though it reaffirmed what another report said about it not working, and the Army Field Manual and the Geneva Conventions long banned torture. For the latter, there are pictures of her years after she got home with a head of jet black hair.

  15. The problem is that she is actually getting delegates. I want her to take votes away with no delegates, thus making it easier for Bernie to get to 1990.

  16.  Jude Fenwick  Trump got a lower percentage of the popular vote than Romney and an equal percentage to McCain. He is also the only President who never got 50% support in any Gallup poll.

  17.  @randolph1917  Yang is a fake lefty, so he won't go on a show that he knows will criticize him from the left, because that will expose his scam.

  18. You have to know when to use your leverage and when you have it. The coronavirus bill was not that time. This is.

  19.  @Captain-Sum.Ting-Wong  It's not about "the exact same beliefs," it's about whether or not someone's beliefs include actively harming the vulnerable in society. Laying the groundwork for cutting Social Security by undermining its support does just that.

  20. Also Dave Rubin: Did you know that I'm gay?

  21.  @davidstewart1757  I'm not saying to never engage with conservatives. I am saying don't legitimize literal fascists. If there is a particular issue where we have agreement on the solution, then work on that, but only on that issue. The mere fact that you call a fascist "the most reasonable conservative in America" answers your own question.
    17
  22. Indeed. And not in the "everyone deserves representation" sense, either.

  23. Check the date of the video. He didn't really start to lose it until recently.

  24. 15% chance? Considering that he hadn't gone to any of the high school graduations of his other four kids, he never would have gone and is just looking for an excuse to delay.

  25.  @stephenbailey9969  And Alabama tried to leave the Union because they wanted to keep slavery. If it was left to them, they would have never abolished it. Enforcement of the Fifteenth Amendment got seriously gutted by the Shelby case. Or, are you one of these people who is just fine with making it harder to vote, as long as it isn't explicitly based on race, gender, or age?

  26. ​ @LifeStrike2030  First of all, I have run for offiice (WV House of Delegates, 2006), so how many offices have you run for? Second of all, Green Party organization is notoriously poor because of the obsession with getting to 5% to get that sweet, sweet matching fund cash. Never mind the fact that the only independent or third party movement to get 5% or more in successive elections was Perot, and he got less than half the vote the second time around. (The next closest was the Socialist Party going from 6.1% in 1912 to 4.9% in 1916.) Never mind that Greens have tried for over 50 years and never topped 2.74% The Green Party is notorious for focusing its efforts on the top of the ballot at the expense of down ballot races, even when rules help them out. In Philadelphia, the Green Party ran a candidate in 2015 for at-large seats on city council. The logic was that voters only get to choose five, the top seven get elected, and everyone knows that the bottom Democratic candidate will more than double the top Republican, so use one of your votes to get us on City Council. The candidate got 11,000 votes, with 38,000 being the cut off. I only found out about it a few days before the election seeing a postcard at the train station explaining her strategy. In 2019, several other third parties got the same idea, and a Working Families Party candidate finished in the running. Four years later, both Working Families candidates won, reducing Republicans to the third party on city council (14-2-1, with Republicans winning one seat in NE Philly). Where were Greens the last two municipal elelections? Nowhere to be seen. This should have been a layup, and they didn't even try. Funny how they try hardest in races where their efforts help Republicans.

  27.  @lilgarbagedisposal9141  She was a Kucinich supporter in 2004. Her policies are to the left. Watch her CNN town hall. She qualifies.

  28.  @slamandjam2  Tulsi was the candidate who supported torture. Tulsi was the one who compared the Iran nuclear deal to Munich. She spent the whole campaign trying to appeal to Republicans only, and once she flamed out, she ended her Congressional career pushing nonsense from Project Veritas to try to make it harder for the elderly and disabled to vote, and pushing right wing dog whistles about high school sports. And that big takedown of Kamala Harris that tulcels like to bring up? It was to stop an attack on Biden.

  29. This may be the most easily flustered debater who has ever tried to call in.

  30. Totally agree about Yang Gang bangers being the worst. At least Tulcels mix it up once in a while. My phone recognizes entire phrases that I type when I see the nonsense that I rebut from people who don't seem to understand the definition of regressive and progressive taxes. (More than one has literally insisted that a VAT can't be regressive because European countries use it.)

  31. Because you've done such a good job dealing with ethics over the last 18 years, Johnny.

  32. ​ @MrAdamo  Plenty of audio exists with CEOs saying that they aren't giving prices back and that they're going to drive them up to keep the money.

  33. Charlie Kirk was a Perot voter? How old is he? I'm 44, and I was too young to vote the last time Perot ran. But this is the guy who has his finger on the pulse of the youth.

  34.  @hepwo91222  People have to do medical quarantine for lots of situations. When Ebola broke out a few years ago, anyone who went to a country affected by it also had to quarantine here. You would have probably been complaining about Typhoid Mary losing her livelihood and ignored that she willfully killed a bunch of people.

  35. Indeed. I think that he took the term "white privilege" and ran with it. I admit that I think that a better phrase can be used (see also: defund the police which a lot of people think is abolition of the police), but there are bad things that don't happen because of race when you are white. If the analogy for being born spoiled and unaware of it is "born on third and think you hit a triple," maybe being poor and white would be born on first at most.

  36. With Mike Gallagher resigning effective next month, the Republican margin for error is shrinking. The only chance that Johnson seems to have to survive is to enter into a power-sharing agreement. My dollar says he'll never do that.
    17
  37. Well, can you imagine how many of those he's been on the other end of? I am honestly amazed at how patient Sam is with these people.

  38. Give her time.

  39. He was a legacy who got into the Naval Academy because his father and grandfather were both admirals, finished near the bottom of his class, and crashed five planes as a pilot. She is more her father's daughter than his myth makers would have you believe.

  40. Three states tried to do the right thing, but the Supreme Court tried to "avoid looking political" and did the most political thing of all.
    17
  41. ​ @fifiadan  Tim Pool and Dave Rubin are the only two people to say that they are "pro chouce" who cheered Roe being overturned.
    17
  42.  @davide9598  Further proof that there is no such thing as right wing populism.
    17
  43.  @timreed402  Do you have evidence that one of her students backed up his version of events?
    17
  44. Playing the "working class" card to not do this is stupid. There's a lot of working class people out there with blue collar jobs and student debt. AOC was a bartender, after all.
    17
  45. 1:54 Absolutely. It's no coincidence that Collins, Murkowski, and Romney all waited until after Manchin announced his support in order to offer theirs.
    17
  46.  @MrMasterDebate  I can usually get a same day appointment. That said, I remember in 2002 as an undergrad when someone gave the "in Canada, you have to wait months to see your doctor." A friend of his, who was from Canada, pointed out that this simply isn't true. The unstated part of "but waiting lists" is that you are saying, "I am fine with a significant proportion of the population not getting to see a doctor at all so I can see mine a little faster."

  47.  @shortchubbyneckbeard1681  Yes, because private interests won't just become the de facto government if our existing government was abolished.
    16
  48. ​ @adotjon78  So, we need to vote for a party that literally has zero chance of winning and makes it easier for the candidate farther away from our stated goals to win? Yeah, that makes sense.
    16
  49.  @UsenameTakenWasTaken  The Ayn Rand future would be the beginning of WALL-E. Difference is that the writers know that would be bad.

  50. If they would make more money on unemployment with this bonus, maybe that means that the wages are too low to start with.
