  1.  @TheBestLife2184  You are in a cult.

  3.  @arimas1977  No lie. Thanks for the laugh.

  4.  @signsofbias  "was hotter than it is today." Then maybe stop lying to people and saying, "the planet has actually been getting warmer for over 8 thousand years?" "might help you grasp this conundrum" LFMAO I mean you did give your own dribble a thumbs up so you must really be onto something.

  5.  @beastmode6609  "selfish in order to protect ourselves and family" If you want to say that it's selfish to want to protect yourself that makes sense but isn't wanting to protect your family the exact opposite of being selfish?

  6.  @magpie3794  And stop acting like the consequences for standing up against the machine aren't DEVESTATING.

  7.  @magpie3794  "officials need to speak up, or quit when they see something wrong" We don't disagree about this. We disagree about how to go about it. We should be honest about what this means instead of pretending that everything tends to be just fine for the people that do. "What is happening to Snowden and especially Assange is horrific." Yeah. It is. That's the norm for people that speak up. So maybe let's not lie about it and say shit like, "Time to grow a spine." as if their spines aren't likley to be broken otherwise you are no better than the people using ukraine as cannon fodder. You are just asking people to sacrifice themself for YOUR political goals and you aren't being honest about what that means for them.

  8.  @dashx1103  "Nothing wrong with that." Yes. There is something wrong with voting for evil. Stop saying there isn't. "And you can't tell other people how to vote." Have you told sirota that? That's literally everyone's problem with him... every election cycle he goes out and tells everyone to vote for the blue team AFTER telling you how terrible they are.

  9. If you are getting smeared then you are doing a good job.

  10.  @tonyplow9882  "Not sure if he would say the same thing at this point, but he was forcefully incorrect when he said that." I'd think that if he really had a change of heart on the topic he would make sure everyone knows it. You would know it if he did.

  11.  @tonyclifton2230  "voting lesser of two evils" This is how you manufacture consent for voting for evil. I can only think the guy who wrote the book on the topic knows exactly what he is doing.
    2
  12.  @tonyclifton2230  "Democrats while pretty bad..." Tony thinks they suck but he's going to manufacture consent for them in the same breathe. Maybe read that book you mentioned.

  13.  @InfoForYou8  "I’m just referring to your ad hominem ‘arguments’" You mean in your comment where you said, "Learn some logic," which is ad hominem?
    2
  14.  @tonyclifton2230  "are miles better" Are they really? Or is it merely their job to give you enough crumbs to keep you placated?
    2
  15.  @tonyclifton2230  "you don't seem to have an understanding of the book" If "understanding the book" leads me to vote blue no matter who and think that people who don't get the jab should starve I'm just going to have to learn to be ok with your interpretation. "I know it might have kept the rain off your head but you would have been wiser to read the book." That's not very nice of you to say. Where is E to talk about how ad hominem is bad?

  16.  @InfoForYou8  "You can actually just email him" So could you then right? The people who want to think and claim that his position has changed? Why is this suppose to be on me? Especially when if his position has changed it wouldn't matter very much at all to me? It wouldn't take away the authoritarianism he previously displayed.

  17.  @tonyclifton2230  "I am not saying biden is great" What's your favorite part of the "climate" bill? Mine is the part where they literally MANDATE drilling.
    2
  18.  @nicka731  "isn’t the flex you think it is" Neither are the non binding words and virtue signaling that is the paris climate accord.

  19.  @tonyclifton2230  "Do you think trump would be doing a better job on the environment?" I think they are equally terrible enough that it's irrelevant between the two on the topic. "They were the two options?" You have infinite opinions when deciding who to vote for. I personally would prefer the option of using the ballot as TP as opposed to using it to vote for trump or biden.
    2
  20.  @tonyclifton2230  "Do you truly believe that?" Do you truly believe that biden is better? Even after your talking points on the topic were easily dismissed?
    2
  21.  @dashx1103  "if they become destitute" You are already talking about people who are destitute... and want to make it harder on them.
    2
  22.  @tonyclifton2230  "chance of winning." As if you can "win" with biden or trump. That's how you "win." LOL

  26. Yang is controlled opposition.

  27. If anyone should know what a coup looks like it should be the country that does them all over the globe. Jan 6 was no coup. And anyone claiming it is is not a seriously person.

  28. I'll remember that if I ever come across someone bleeding out.

  29. At peace I guess.

  30.  @rowzdwr  "even incitement and defamation, should always be free?" Fair point. No. I am not including that and do not consider that free speech. As always your rights end where my rights begin. That's where the line is drawn and I should have been more careful with my wording.

  31. "very serious" No. Income inequality is serious. Assange is serious. War is serious. Health care is serious. You are talking about an UNARMED riot.

  32. Nuke Holmes has a nice ring to it.

  33. Are you running for office? Or just a hypocrite?

  34.  @kellielaine5848  Bernie sold you out to sell his book and to, in his own words, not get "nadared."
    2
  35.  @kellielaine5848  Are you running for office? Otherwise I'm not even suppose to be talking to you... according to you.
    2
  36.  @kellielaine5848  "advanced the blueprint for our quality of life." Actually he is voting in lockstep with corporate dems and his good friend.
    2
  37.  @kellielaine5848  Are you running for office? You should be with your ability to ignore, dodge and deflect questions while saying nonsense that just doesn't hold with reality.

  38. "on the DEFENSIVE" Just typing things in all caps doesn't make it true. They are murd ering journalists. That's offensive.
    2
  39.  @rcarmisin3465  " Israel only retaliates" Is that how you rationalize the murd er of journalists? Maybe spare me your BS.

  40.  @InfoForYou8  "left libertarian" I'm tired of people on the right trying to say they are on the left. Sincerely, an actual leftist.

  41. Youtube says there are 3 replies but only let's you read 1. Isn't that the type of thing that is suppose to make china the bad guy?

  42.  @kdnick8584  You don't think that is important to know and point out? Or are you just being intentionally obtuse?
    2
  43.  @kdnick8584  Are you sure it's that? Or are you just mad that she is being called that the way peter is?
    2
  44.  @kdnick8584  We all have biases and labels that accurately describe what we are. They are important. That's why we use them at all and why so many people try to MISUSE them like when biden calls himself "the most progressive" or other BS.

  45. Didn't dave tell everyone to vote for trump? He is "part of the problem." Pun intended.

  46. Grim is controlled opposition meant to manufacture consent for corrupt politicians.

  47.  @compassioncampaigner728  "Body of work is an asset to mankind." Arguably. And that's probably why the asinine things he said hurt so much. "Acknowledge your criticism" Huh? "nobody is perfect" Yeah. Obviously. But when you are saying things that could be used to defend literally anyone no matter how evil it's probably not worth saying.

  48. "literally prove the point" Except grim isn't "canceled." He's collecting checks from multiple billionaires to tell everyone to vote blue no matter who.

  49.  @abe8435  "the classic tool of people who seek to keep the left weak and divided." I'm as far left as I you can go but that's not what's important. The war that matters is between the peasants and the elite. And grim represents the elite.
    1
  50.  @abe8435  "My point is you aren’t actually making any substantive points about why Grim is controlled opposition at all." Sad you need them. Controlled opposition tells you not to force the vote. Controlled opposition writes propaganda like, "CHUCK SCHUMER EYES A SECOND SHOT AT RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE THROUGH RECONCILIATION" so that you can give chuck credit for the minimum wage despite him not actually doing anything to make it happen. Do you want more? "Someone watching this video who isn’t as invested in social media drama as you would have no idea what you are on about." Then ask. Instead of what you are doing instead.
