  1. Uh, the issue is that more times than not they are correct. And almost all of the time they give solid arguments on the issues. You also have to consider that people like Shapiro and Crowder go out and engage in conversations with people. Meanwhile you have Kyle who refuses to debate people and acts like a child. You have TYT with Cenk "Google it" Ugyur and Ana "I am better than you" Kasparian. And they all live in a bubble. It is no wonder people don't hear about these groups and those that do tune out.
    16
  2. Millennials are getting older and becoming more conservative. This is predictable.

  3. " I think the worst thing that steven crowder, ben shapiro, and alex jones brought with them is this idea that EVERYTHING is debatable." And right there is where you lost. Ignoring Alex Jones as I find him to be a conspiracy theorist, Crowder and Shapiro have topics you can debate on. Are there some issues you can't debate? Yes, such as the earth is flat. Crowder and Shapiro don't support that. However, the problem is Kyle feels other issues such as the min. wage, universal healthcare, and the issues surrounding climate change (look up Crowder's viewpoint on it) are not debatable. They are. Saying they are not debatable is completely dismissing one side where people eventually catch on that those that do that are hacks.

  4. "I'm not going to entertain Ben Shapiro's idea of healthcare bc it's fucking lunacy." And right away I am dismissing you. You have not given me a reason why it is lunacy. Shapiro has broken down why he supports what he does. You just called in lunacy and said you will refuse to address it. For an outsider they will side with Shapiro in that case. That is why he has a large following.
    10
  5. Ant Man, you are correct. Kyle would point to popularity polls as if they mean anything on complex issues. He has done this for years. It requires no critical thinking. That is why he is losing views.
    10
  6. Here is the issue on the "facts" argument. Anyone can present facts and statistics in numerous ways. They can be deceptive about it. Kyle does it all the time. When you start to break the facts down that is where the political right excels and the political left becomes emotional. We saw that with Bernie where he was pushed into a corner on how he will have to raise taxes on everyone. He became emotional and said that in doing so everyone would have healthcare and college education. No mention of quality, the complexity of it, how it would actually work, he just went on an emotion rant and then cited a popularity poll. Now does that make Bernie wrong? It does on the idea that he is not presenting all that needs to be presented. But doesn't on the idea that yes, we should push for a system where almost everyone, if not everyone has access to high quality healthcare. We should push for a system where anyone who wants to better themselves through education they can. That is something people can be passionate about and the Bernie crowd is. But the rational side on the political right becomes the voice of reason in how to do it at that point.
    7
  7. Candy and Violence, when does the right strawman? You have to give evidence. As for facts, the political right has a plethora of facts and analysis. IN reality, at the very core on most issues (especially economically), the political right bases their ideas on facts and reasoning and the political left bases their ideas on emotions. Not saying that neither side is better. We need facts and reasoning, but we are also human and have emotions. But if you want to go with just straight facts the political right will win that argument all the time.

  8. Interdimensional Steve, 1. I don't agree with everything that Crowder does, but I feel you are misrepresenting him. To start, I see a contradiction in you saying he goes after "moronic children on college campuses". I hear all the time how the more educated one is the more liberal they are (a debatable issue but we will go with it). So if they are going to college are they liberal, educated and moronic? So you are admitting that being liberal is being moronic? Or maybe the idea of Bernie's "free college" would not make people smarter? What is it? As for that "one time" a kid who many thought was well informed challenged him on his Change My Mind segment I disagree. To start, I felt Crowder's argument was poor, but that kid's argument was cliche. Saying "Sweden" and "Norway" is not an argument. And using the word "autistic" had him losing the debate. The kid seemed to repeat the same talking points he heard from Kyle on Secular Talk. Those countries are not socialist countries and socialism does not mean "government does thing". It was poor on both parts and the kid become perturbed and started to ridicule Crowder claiming that Crowder was losing the debate, he wasn't. Both sides were doing poorly. 2. Shapiro debated members of Congress in Congress and debate Cenk. 3. I don't follow Jordan Peterson so I cannot make a fair argument on him 4. You seem to know very little about Crowder and Shapiro. For one, going on college campuses does attract millenials which is what this video by Kyle is about. Next, as I said, Shapiro has debated members of Congress and both Crowder and Shapiro do more than just go after SJWs. You should watch their content. I have a feeling you haven't.
    6
  9. " Compromise and having a rational discussion is the best approach. " Shapiro does push for rational discussion. Someone like Kyle doesn't. You talk about shaming where Kyle shames all the time and refuses to debate people.
    4
  10. Aegon Targaryen, what about Crowder? I am sure Crowder will be willing to debate Kyle but yet Kyle refuses to on false reasoning. "Leftists are outnumbered because our population has been brainwashed to worship capitalism. Noam Chomsky says it best "we have two right wing business parties."" I have a hard time listening to Chomsky considering how he praised Venezuela before it went to crap and how he called businesses "oppressive and coercive". Chomsky is overrated. In all, intellectually, I am on the same level he is. Difference is that people gave him a voice (I say I am on the same level intellectually as I am a year or two away from getting my PhD like he has). You complain about Crowder and Shapiro when they want limited government. Kyle wants more government which creates the problem of cronyism, the real problem in our country.
    4
  11. "What the hell does being a conservative have to do with responsibility?" A lot.
    3
  12. The Centrist, if the government were to provide "basic healthcare" is should do so at the state and local level like it does with education. Many on the right support giving Medicaid to the states to run, and so do I. I do see value in that, I feel it can be managed better at the state level like education is, roads are, police, etc. The reason why healthcare insurance is tied to employment is because of tax reasons. It is a tax free way to pay employees. There is also the argument to be made that employers can use it to keep employees. Paying a higher wage is much easier than having to deal with insurance companies. Think about it? When a business pays employees they would pay a wage instead of having to waste time and money going over healthcare options.
    3
  13. Thomas, republicans won. One important features of republicans is how they replace politicians. We saw that in 1994 and we saw it with the Tea Party and we will see it again. Millennials are older, smarter, and have responsibilities and will vote for new republicans over the next few elections.
    2
  14. Just Someguy, many think Kyle is one of the smartest people on the left.
    2
  15. Aegon Targaryen, I have been very critical of Crowder and Shapiro. But compared to Kyle they have more followers for a reason.
    2
  16. " I'm not even saying that Shapiro has more innate intelligence than Kyle, I'm just saying he's better educated and has a staff that can get him the facts he needs to make a cogent argument without making laughable errors" I can agree to that. To be 100% fair I feel Kyle has potential. He speaks well compared to Sam "uh, umm, uh" Sedar for example. He just refuses to put in the effort to learn an issue.
    2
  17. The Centrist, I feel we have to work to remove the situation were most people get healthcare insurance through their employers. I bring up two points. 1. Why do so many employers pay their employees with healthcare insurance as opposed to a higher wage? 2. Why does healthcare insurance equal healthcare? On the first part employers do that because it is a tax free way to pay employees. That creates many problems. Consumers cannot force healthcare insurance providers to compete which would lower prices. They cannot get a plan they want where you have women paying for Viagra and men paying for contraceptives. People cannot change jobs unless they want to switch healthcare plans to where you have a greater chance of having a "pre-exisiting condition". Does some of these issues sound familiar? Also, since healthcare insurance is a form of payment it has become healthcare. My insurance covers my non-emergency routine check up along with an emergency. However, my car insurance does not cover oil changes but they cover car accidents. If people were paid a higher wage they can buy insurance they want at a younger age. They can force companies to compete which will lower prices and provide a better product. Insurance can be for expensive situations that are emergencies as well where other healthcare situations can be paid for out of pocket forcing providers to compete which also lowers prices. The #1 myth in healthcare is that we have a free market system in it. We don't as we have many government regulations. I say push for a more free market system. A big step is remove the incentive for businesses to pay employees with healthcare insurance.
    2
  18. LinusMLGTips, it isn't that easy. To start, what quality do you get? Next, I pay $0 in healthcare, so I will be paying more. Finally, where do you get your numbers? They seemed made up.

  19. Harry Lakity, SJWs are a major problem of the left. Bernie Sanders acts like a SJW a lot of times. You have identity politics that are a part of that crowd. I agree that people are not acting educated. However, the political left claims to be the more educated of the two groups and don't act like it. Bernie was not the common man's choice. This was a guy who did not have a job until he was 40. He stole electricity from his neighbor. When approached by middle class Americans on the issues he became very perturbed. Look at how he acted towards that hair salon owner from Texas. Now compare that to how Bill Clinton approached Herman Cain on a very similar topic in 1994. Sanders has zero connection with the common man, that is why the RNC did not see him as a threat. For each point Weed: The political right does not care about this issue at all. That is why it is become legal and they are not making major noise. Science: No party is "anti-science". As a scientist myself if I were to say any side is "anti-science" it is the left because they politicize it. However, politics politicize everything. Porn: Like weed, they don't care. However, I believe I addressed the porn issue in how the left have double standards. The porn industry is really abusive towards women in that women have very little, if any protection as workers in the industry. The left preaches about "workers' rights" but are silent on that issue. Education: As with science no party is anti-education. In fact, you bringing up "anti-education" and "anti-science" is a SJW stance. It is the same as crying "racist". When someone brings up points you disagree with you call them these names. That is not productive. Republicans are pro education, they just have a different, and legit approach at it. Environment: Same with education and science. Healthcare: Same with environment, education, science, etc. There are very strong arguments to the free market approach in making healthcare affordable. And so on. As for the tiki torches, etc., that was on event. What have the white supremacists done since? Nothing. Ben Shapiro broke down where they came from. When SJWs calls the other side racists the only people who will sympathize with them are these racists. There were unheard from for years until recently. And after that one event they are no where to be seen. You say "common sense" but end up calling the right "anti-science" and "anti-affordable healthcare" as if they have no argument. They have very strong arguments. This is why I am saying the political left has problems. It is people like you that silence the other side and dismiss them which is you acting like a SJW. That is a problem.
    2
  20. Harry, SJW make up a large portion of the political left now. If you disagree with them they call you anti-science, anti-poor, racist, bigoted, etc. You had Bernie calling Trump a bigot with zero evidence. He gained over 40% of the votes in the primaries. You have SJW like Bernie and you shutting down the other side with name calling and labels. "-More citizens gave their vote to Hillary than Trump. -Hillary is less popular than Bernie. -Bernie is the most popular politician in the USA." More people voted for Hilary due to LA and NYC being heavily populated. That is why the electoral college exist (one of many reasons). It was so that we don't run on mob rule. If Hilary was less popular than Bernie then why did he lose? Also, nothing indicates that Bernie is popular. Any poll you point to I have read and they are approval ratings, not popularity polls. Also, Bernie was never subjected to any attack ads. If you notice those approval polls politician in high power, such as Clinton, Ryan, Trump, etc. have low ratings. Why? Because they are subjected to attack ads. But they still win. Bernie was never subjected to attack ads because the RNC wanted him to him because there is a lot of dirt on him. But fact is that Bernie, and politicians that run on his ideas, and his policies are all losing. Weed: So, he does not write laws. He defends the government based on the laws written. Weed is still illegal federally. He will defend that stance as AG. Does not mean he supports making it illegal. Same with Ted Cruz and the dildo situation. Cruz never once said if he supported a ban on dildos. He only did his job as AG. Science: Very few, if any republican denies evolution and climate change. Look up the court case Dover v Penn and consider that was a court appointed judge. As for funding watch the video entitled "Who's More Pro-Science, Republicans or Democrats?-Neil deGrasse Tyson". He has a great break down on it. Answer me this, if republicans are the party for the rich why would they be opposed to funding science considering technology is how people get richer? Porn: That was a law, not an amendment. Also, it received support from both sides. Environment: When did Pruitt ever deny climate change? Point to me where? I will wait. Fact is he never denied it, period. He said, correctly, that we do not know to what degree man is contributing. Also, we do not know if it is a major threat. This is why your side is losing. You claim others deny climate change when they never do. The Paris Agreement was a very bad deal that everyone should oppose. Just because you sign something that looks good on the surface does not mean it was good. Do you support the Patriot Act? if not you are not a patriot according to the title (for the record I don't support it, I am just showing you how presenting something in one way does not make it good overall). Healthcare: When put up to a vote in Colorado, a left leaning state that supported Bernie in the primaries, 80% said no to universal healthcare. People voted for republicans who ran on repealing Obamacare. Also, pointing to polls is not an argument. You said "affordable healthcare". Just because the people supposedly support something does not mean it is affordable. "Do you really feel silenced and dismissed? " Yes, because when you label people as "anti-science" or "anti-affordable healthcare" and so on you are dismissing their argument from the beginning. I am a scientist myself. I am working on my PhD in physical chemistry. I have four peer reviewed papers published. I support Pruitt as the head of the EPA. Does that make me anti-science because I support him? If you say yes you have to remember that I work as a scientist for a living. I work as a scientist to pay my rent, to eat food, pay my bills, etc. How can I be against something I do for a living? You label people who disagree with you as such. I will not label you as anti-science even though I disagree with your viewpoints on climate change and I can break your viewpoint down to where I can make you look like you are anti-science. I will not call you anti-affordable healthcare even though I can break down your arguments to where it would make you seem like you are. I won't label you. Why? Because I can have a debate on these topics. I can dig deep in them and discuss the issues with label. I can do so giving you the benefit of the doubt that you do want to better people's lives that you are just misinformed or simply have a different opinion for what ever reasons. As long as they are legit I am fine with that. But you labeling people like you do makes you a SJW. I just proved to you that republicans are not anti-science and are not anti-affordable healthcare. I have torn about your entire stance on the issue because you immediately went to labels and said they had bad arguments. That is why democrats are not doing well, they have bad arguments.

  21. Styrofoam Talk, all throughout history people become conservative economically when they become older.

  22. Stein Koffman, voter turnout was on par with the past few elections. We had much lower turnout in 1996.

  23. "They remember the far right acting a pure donkey years ago" Such as......?

  24. SodaBoy628, Clinton as pushing heavily for healthcare reform.

  25. "While it is true that people tend to get a little bit more conservative as they age, they don't typically become as conservative as the previous generation. " They become more conservative economically. You can make an argument for social issues, but economically people become conservative with age and are just as conservative as the previous administration. "t is also on the wrong side of the culture war," How so? Trump was the first president to enter the office supporting gay marriage. No democratic president supported gay marriage until Obama in 2012. "Marijuana, same-sex marriage, the rise of the religious nones, favoring gender and race equality, etc, have all seen increases in support. Conversely, conservative values are on the decline." Again, economics. Most republicans don't care about those issues. Marijuana is a none issue. Same sex marriage was settled in the SC. How are the genders and races unequal according to the law? On that last point that is why Democrats are losing. You bring up identity politics way too much. You cry out racism when none exist. "If the GOP doesn't evolve in the next twenty years, they won't win another general election." I heard that before. In was in 2008 when everyone said the GOP was dead.
    1
  26. "The GOP has won only ONE presidential election, by popular vote in 30 years. George W bush won his second term with more than 50% of the vote. The only time that has happened since 1988." Doesn't matter. Just because leftists are confined in a handful of areas does not make them right nor popular. Democrats dominate in the most popular areas of LA and NYC. Look across the rest of the country. In fact, another reason why democrats lose is that they cannot look outside their bubble of LA and NYC.
    1
  27. "voter turnout as whole was still dismally low compared to other nations," A lot of nations force people to vote by law. I look at this nation's history. We were on par in 2016 compared to years past. "Trump LOST the popular vote by 3M votes" So all of those 3 million were millenials?
    1
  28. " Remember how they blamed video games for violence" Both sides did that, and that was the very minute portion of them. I remember how it was hardly talked about. And again, they become conservative economically. "The right for years want to ban porn and are calling it a public health issue now." So. There is actually a double standard in porn on the left. The political left is all about workers' rights and unions when in the porn industry women are treated very poorly. They do a few shots and then don't get anymore calls. Meanwhile their face is all over the internet and their lives are challenged now. Women have very little, if any protection in the porn industry. I never hear the political left complain about that.

  29. "the GOP didn't support Same Sex Marriage until the Supreme Court made it constitutional" And neither did the democrats. What is your point? "The majority of people (including millennials btw) support legalizing Cannabis and other shit too. Check the polls" I have seen the polls and question them.

  30. Thomas, you are drifting to different issues now.

  31. Thomas, millenials are leaving the left due to economic reasons, Most people hardly follow politics. Under Obama and the democrats things did not get better. Under Trump they are.

  32. Mckenzie .Latham, I have mentioned this before. Under Obama worker participation went down which is why unemployment went down. We are now seeing it go up with unemployment still going down. Also, the Fed is going to raise interest rates. But hey, keep digging while Trump becomes one of the most successful presidents in history.

  35. RandomGuy7092, Crowder challenged Kyle, Kyle refuses. As for Potholer even Potholer said that Crowder is not blame, they could not schedule an actual time. That is why both Potholer and Crowder dropped the issue.

  36. Accelerationist, TYT is losing viewers. And when is potholer ever polite? He is very condescending.

  37. MrAzul132, what claims did I make without sources? Shapiro broke down his point on healthcare and furniture. He is saying, correctly, that healthcare is a commodity. I will like you a video on what he means by that. "We had a healthcare system with little regulation and it sucked so hard we had to implement something ASAP. " Not true. We have had many regulations for decades. I will also provide you a link to that. "Shapiro's idea is idiotic and barbaric." How so? Saying it is is not an argument. "There's a reason why all of the best healthcare systems in the world are single payer systems," Not true, I will link you a book to read on that. "We ration care by wallet size in this country, not need" Not true. Read the papers entitled "The Ethics and Reality of Rationing in Medicine" in the journal Chest and "True versus reported waiting times for valvular aortic stenosis surgery" in the journal Can J Cardiol "If a country can't, first and foremost, provide their citizens with safety from natural causes like illness, then it will fall" Well it seems like every country is failing then because no country can guarantee that. "And yes Bernie had a well thought out plan." No he doesn't. In the debate against Cruz he was cornered by a guy from Denmark that finally got Bernie to admit that he has to raise taxes on everyone. " Every other modern country has a successful single payer system. And all of the numbers bare out that it would be much cheaper." What is your standard for "successful"? And being cheaper is not better. A 5 bedroom home is more expensive than my apartment. Is my apartment better? "Healthcare isn't a care or TV." On the point that it is a commodity that someone has to provide it is. "And how do you have "healthcare competition" when there are companies and people that capitalize on a treatment and then inflate the prices exorbitantly." Prices go up due to no competition. "And yes, I do think having debates about climate change is exactly like having debates about a flat earth or a geocentric universe. It's fucking ridiculous when the massive amount of scientific evidence and scientists say it's real and a problem. " As a scientist myself I can tell you that is not true. Reality is that there is not hard conclusion on the issue. Climate change has been happening for over 4 billion years. A driving force in evolution is climate change. So unless you are a young earth theorist, or do not support evolution you have to realize we do not know if climate change is a major problem. That is why no one on the political left can get scientists to speak up on the issue when many on the right have, like Steven Crowder.

  38. MrAzul132, here are some links by researchers in the field https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2560551/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3415127/ On the book I mentioned, it is by two professors https://www.aei.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/03/-the-business-of-health_110115929760.pdf On government regulations and healthcare https://mises.org/wire/how-government-regulations-made-healthcare-so-expensive And with Ben Shapiro and healthcare https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jeqj5JGs2zs Any questions? On the issue of healthcare you can see that there is a debate. When two professors take their time to write an entire book on it that says something. There is, at the very least, a debate.
    1
  39. MrAzul132, it would be interesting to see how you respond. I am not saying that your points are not legit. What I am saying is that you cannot dismiss the other side like you are. As I said with healthcare. You have professors writing an entire book on the issue. If there were no debate why would they do that?
    1
  40. " Hell, if we are talking about health care, the approval rating for health care in basically every nationalised health care system is dozens of points ahead of the US's." Poor argument as people in those nations do not experience other systems. Same in the US. How can you trust the judgement of people who have never experienced any other system? If all you did was eat at Pizza Hut for pizza your entire life how can you have a legit opinion on other pizza companies? "That's because our government can do a lot of things better than the free market. " Good luck finding a lot of evidence for that.
    1
  41. "Funny your argument regarding the debate Crowder was owned in lol" How was he owned? The kid saying "Sweden" or "Norway" is not an argument. The kid just repeated talking points that he heard from Kyle. I am not saying Crowder was better, he wasn't. But the kid was not great. "To nitpick his WORD CHOICES is fucking childish as hell. " It is not because words have definitions. Autistic has a definition. And he had to explain why Crowder was shill. He couldn't. Also, calling Nordic countries socialist countries is false, they are more free market than the US. "Crowder knew full well wat he meant by the words he used, and yet he chose to pretend like he didn't and make the kid explain himself." He didn't, neither did I. The kid was just saying words without thought. " And they he got in the kids face to try and trip him up, and used the audience against him." I can agree that Crowder did that and I have said many times that Crowder was not any better. What I saw were the equivalent of two NFL teams that were 2-10 playing each other. No matter who won they both sucked. But for Crowder he showed he was at least going to engage in a discussion with people where Kyle does not. "And furthermore, have you seen any of Crowder's recent big speeches/talking events? He alost alwats caps them off with a VERY disturbing anti-leftwing speech where he draws the audience in making them out to be "Victims of the left" and then gets all worked up over it and comes off like a humungous jackass with ZERO understanding of what the general left actually is. Hint: We're not SJWs and we're not "out to get you."" The political left has two major problems. 1. The SJWs 2. They lost connection with the common man I agree not everyone are SJWs, but enough of them are and not enough on the left are trying to stop it. As for losing connection with the common man, that is why Clinton lost. She was too busy reading her own feel good stories. You have the media making these claims about what the people want. You have ultra leftists saying the same thing too. You feel you think you know what the people want, you don't. Here is a clue for you. People do not want the federal government tampering with their lives. They don't want universal healthcare and education. They don't want the federal government invading their lives and wallet. They want freedom and liberty. You say you are not out to get me. I disagree 100%. Most people want to mind their own business. You want to invade it. But here is the major problem with the left. You want to create policy to invade people's lives. And maybe not. Maybe you do want to help people. However, there are many ways to help people and those on the right have their ideas. The problem with the left is that if someone disagrees with you than you feel they lack morals and need to be punished. That is a problem. And that is why the left is losing. You refuse to engage in a conversation with anyone.

  42. Ok, let me break down the video you are talking about. To start, the kid started with the min. wage and immigration. Two unrelated situations that are not related to socialism. On that illegal immigration is what it is, illegal. Controlling it would not influence wages. This kid talked about how immigration would keep wages down. Businesses hiring illegal immigrants are doing so illegally and would pay them a lower wage anyway no matter the min. wage. So the issue is pointless. Next, the kid went on to Sweden and Norway etc. as if they are socialist countries. They are not socialist countries. Saying the "government does things" is not socialism. They have lower corporate tax rates for example. They have a free market system in wages where unions, that are free from government intrusion, negotiate wages. The kid went on to police, etc. Police are locally ran and funded and not socialist programs. They are programs established by the local society that felt that government is the best source to provide those things. I can go on but as a whole both sides were not great here. The kid's viewpoint of socialism as "government does things" is false. The entire issue is more complex and the problem with Crowder is that he fell victim to his topic of "socialism is evil". There is a desire to have money spent by government. There is a desire to have government programs as long as the government works for us. That is why those programs are mostly local. That is not socialism though. The topic is more complex to where neither the kid nor Crowder wanted to admit they were both unwilling to give ground. They both were bad. But again, Crowder is willing to have a discussion with people, Kyle isn't.
    1
  43. Rice Waster Aleks, a major problem with Kyle is that he always cries about "fact checking". However, I have fact checked him a lot and showed him to be completely wrong. Ben Shapiro and PragerU would be able to tear him down on that point alone, I agree. To give one example Kyle has said that Ted Cruz supported a ban on dildos. That is not correct. The truth is that Cruz, as AG in Texas, did his job in defending the government on that law that was created by legislation. It does not show if he supported a ban on dildos or not. It just showed he was doing his job. The idea that Cruz supported a ban on dildos has been rated "mostly false" on fact checking sites. So anyone who debates Kyle should just fact check him over and over again making him look foolish and would win on that alone.
    1
  44. Interdimensional Steve, to add, the arguments on the left are too weak right now. The fact that you say that kid won against Crowder shows that. That kid has very poor arguments. We saw this with Bernie Sanders. When Bernie was pushed on the issues he resorted to talking points as the left has very weak arguments.

  45. greendayblinkfan182, where did I lie? Saying I lied but not giving examples is not an argument. Yes, people support liberty and freedom, that is our culture. Healthcare is a commodity, someone has to provide it. Is it moral to force doctors to serve people?
    1
  46. Harry, you are calling republicans and the political right anti-science. What that tells me is that you cannot create an argument and thus smear your opponent with zero justification (and in some cases, like Pruitt, lie). Your perceived values of the right are incorrect, that is my issues. You call them anti-science, anti-weed, etc. with no justification besides 1. Pointing a few that might be 2. Lying, or being factually incorrect A Bernie Sanders supporters shot at politicians, does that make them all violent? No. You say the AG is against weed, does that make all republicans against weed, or even the majority? No. As I said they do not see it as a major issue. "If, everytime 'the right' gets legit criticism, you take that personally & think people are calling you names & trying to silence you," Here is the problem, you have yet to give a legit criticism. You started out labeling them as "anti-science" and "anti-education" and so on. Immediately I cannot take your arguments seriously as you have an extreme bias against the right. You view them as anti-education because they have different ideas. You may disagree with their ideas but you cannot say they are anti-education unless you have very strong evidence towards that. You don't. As I said, I feel many on the left support education, affordable healthcare, science, etc. I just disagree for several reasons. You are pushing to silence the other side by saying their stance on the issues are "anti-science", "anti-education", "anti-affordable healthcare" and so on. If I did that so you how would you feel? Here, I feel the political left is "anti-education". See how simple that was? "You can't call people SJW's just because they don't agree with Republican Policy. " I don't. I call them that when they place labels on others without justification. "No you didn't. Only 16% conservative Republicans accept the 99% scientific consensus of man made climate change." Uh, the old "consensus" argument that gets abused by the left constantly. To start, climate change has been happening for over 4 billions years. Is man playing a role? Yes based on purely the 2nd law of thermodynamics. However we cannot say to what degree. To those who feel man is playing the only role in climate change I call young earth theorist as they are ignoring the climate change that occurred before man was on earth. Now reading your poll, the question was "Almost all climate scientists agree that human behavior is mostly responsible for climate change". To start, the methods of this poll not listed and thus this poll is highly unreliable. However, let us go with it. The questioning is poor. "Climate scientist" is very vague. That can technically involve me as my research can contribute to the influence of climate change on the environment. Next, saying "mostly" is vague as well because there is no quantitative value placed on that anywhere. As I said, climate change has been happening for over 4 billion years. Also, nowhere in that poll does it say "deny climate change". If you were to ask me those questions I would align with the political right if I were given only those options. However, in all reality I understand the issue is more complex than that. Now does that make me anti-science? Now with your quote on Pruitt, please explain where he denied climate change. Again, i will wait. Here is the equivalent of what you are doing. If I were to say there wasn't any sun out today because it was cloudy you would say that I made the claim the sun doesn't exist. That is not true as I am saying it was not sunny today because of clouds. The fact is that anyone you disagree with you on climate change you call a denier and label them as "anti-science". You cannot argue your point on the issue so you do that. So I ask again, when did Pruitt ever deny climate change? "54 per cent favourability seems like a popular candidate to me." If he is popular than why did he lose? Also, I told you about how he has never been attacked. Why? Because he is not considered a threat and the RNC wanted him to win the primaries. If you look Paul Ryan as a 34% approval rating. Why? As I mentioned before he is well known and has been attacked like Pelosi was as speaker. And again, approval does not equal popular. Bernie is not in power like Ryan and Trump are. Thus he is irrelevant. "Congratulations, the far right are emboldened, nazi memes are cool, hate crimes are up, education is falling, scientists are snubbed, lifelong citizens are deported & you're being silenced by me, a nobody on youtube who wields zero authority." And this is why you are a SJW. You are labeling republicans as Nazis. Who is saying Nazi memes are cool? No one. Who is snubbing scientists? No one. Education is doing fine. Crime has been dropping for decades. You claim you are standing by what you believe in. Truth is that you cannot support what you believe in. I asked for evidence to show where Pruitt denied climate change. You have not given it to me. All you have shown was that you love to twist words to suit your agenda and flat out lie in many cases. I can do that as well. Bernie Sanders hates America and wants us to live in a communist country like USSR did under Stalin. There, see how easy that was? Do I need support? No as you have not provided any. Oh, wait, I do have support. Bernie spent his honeymoon in USSR in 1988. There, that is all I need. I am simply going off of your standards now.

  47. "Like our current socialized K-12 education system, the quality may vary region to region as to what equipment is in the hospital (which I'd assume in the case of medical care it is standardized hospital to hospital in the US), but overall everyone gets the same type of care that we do now. Nothing changes accept how we pay at the doctors' office, pharmacies or the hospitals." It isn't that simple. If you want to compare K-12 education many places lack honers and AP courses. I know high schools where the highest level of math they offer is Algebra II. "You specifically may be paying more but the county as a whole, meaning tax payers as a whole, are paying less, which is estimated to be $17 trillion dollars less over the next ten years."" Which is based off of nothing. Also, when has a government program ever saved money? Economically, saying universal healthcare would lead to lower cost makes zero sense. "Even though you may call it theft" I never called it theft.

  48. Harry, and here you are calling me a snowflake as you have no argument against me. Even when I used Neil deGrasse Tyson to support my case you ignored that. "When 85% of a body snubs scientific consensus by denying mans involvement in climate change " Except they don't deny man's involvement. They just question the degree of their involvement. But if you want to play these games I can easily call you anti-science as you are either a young earth theorist or deny evolution. You are a young earth theorist as you feel many is creating climate change and thus there was never a time where man did not walk the earth, or you deny evolution as a driving force of evolution is climate change. Also, the consensus studies have been debunked. But besides that none of them say that climate change is a threat nor do they give to what degree man plays a role in climate change. Where is the RNC denying marijuana use? How is Trump a Nazi? What proof do you have? And how often do you see them marching with tiki torches? Give me dates and places of them happening. If I need a safe space then why am I on a left wing channel? It seemed like I perturbed you at this point. But I will ask, why are you a young earth theorist?

  49. Harry, I am not trying to silence you as I am simply playing you at your own game. You label the right as "anti-science" with no justification, so I am as well. All I am doing is showing you that by doing the same actions you are that we are not going to have a productive conversation. If you just label people like a SJW does than we will not have a productive conversation. " You refuse to accept stats, polls or differing opinions on the Republican Party" Except I referenced the polls and my concerns about them. As for stats, what stats? What have you give me? You have only given me opinion polls where I pointed out the flaws. "As to why you're on a leftie channel, one could only hope it's so that you can hear views outside of the right-wing echo chamber. " I listen to both sides as I don't live in an echo chamber. "Bernie, with 54% *favourability*, is the most popular politician in the USA." Did that poll ask about every politician? No. So it is irrelevant. Unless every politician is on that list, and we can keep it to federal ones, that poll is irrelevant. There are 535 voting members of congress. I did not see all of them on there. Also, you are refusing to address the issue of how he has never been attacked like Paul Ryan, Clinton and Trump has. You did not see attack ads on Bernie from the RNC. If you did his approval would be different. Opinion polls are not facts, they are opinion polls. Polls have vague questions on complex issues and thus have many flaws and are unreliable. I just gave you another reason for the Bernie one. They were missing a lot of congress members. How can you say he is the most popular when you are not even comparing him to every federal politician?

  50. Harry, you talk about facts so I asked you to show me where Pruitt denied climate change. You have never done that. You cannot say something as if it is factual and give no evidence.

  51. Harry Lakity, again, when did Pruitt ever denied climate change was happening?
