  1.  @JohnAllenRoyce  "Constant stream" As for my "hate" I save it for the elite, where it belongs. And don't have it for the majority of people who are peasants.

  2.  @Bisquick  "does anyone wanna highlight why?" Simply put, he manufactures consent for corrupt politicians. "with anything specific" Let's say it was only super general... like he's part of the corporate media, who collects a check from multiple billionaires wouldn't it be enough? If you take issue with the world and are looking for people to blame then politicians and their propagandists are a good place to start. "does decent reporting" LMFAO "who cares?" The peasants who realize that their problem isn't other peasants. And you. Or why are you here defending him? " it's always "his bullshit"" Do you ever wonder how terrible people are able to gain power? They do it with help from people like grim.

  3.  @Bisquick  "what bullshit?" He spends his time on twitter blaming peasants and he spends his "professional" time manufacturing consent for the elite. For example his article titled, "CHUCK SCHUMER EYES A SECOND SHOT AT RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE THROUGH RECONCILIATION" it's meant to try and manufacture consent for chuck shumer, as if he's doing something about raising the minimum wage.

  4.  @larchlarch9851  If you can't understand that ryan grim is shill paid by multiple billionaires to manufacture consent for the oligarchy then I feel sorry for you.

  5.  @dashx1103  "because of a grudge with a certain podcaster" It's actually because he's a shill for the elite. Because he uses lies to manufacture consent for them. No doubt it's easier for you to strawman the actual argument thou.

  6.  @larchlarch9851  "that's just right wing propaganda." This is what you say when you don't have anything of substance to back it up. "Don't be a shill for them." This is funny because you are shilling for ryan grim. "Ryan Grim is all about integrity and good journalism." Grim writes articles like, "CHUCK SCHUMER EYES A SECOND SHOT AT RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE THROUGH RECONCILIATION" So that simpletons like you will give chuck credit for "something" while he isn't actually doing anything to raise the minimum wage.

  7.  @dashx1103  "I don't believe Schumer is working to raise minimum wage" So ryan lied, even according to you. As for the rest of your wall of text I'll assume you find terrible ways to rationalize that lie but don't really care what they are.
    1
  8.  @dashx1103  "He lied about what?" "CHUCK SCHUMER EYES A SECOND SHOT AT RAISING THE MINIMUM WAGE THROUGH RECONCILIATION" ryan grim BS In reality chuck shumer is looking for ways to stop a raise in the minimum wage and is finding convenient excuses like the parliamentarian to not raise it.
    1
  9.  @dashx1103  That was you who said this right, "No. I don't believe Schumer is working to raise minimum wage." It's almost like you too think ryan grim was lying.

  10.  @dashx1103  "The Dems didn't surrender?" Yup. They never fought. "Refusing to overrule the parliamentarian wasn't capitulation?" LMFAO They wanted their employee to do exactly what they did. That's why they were there, in that job. The parliamentarian works for the dems, not the other way around.
    1
  11.  @dashx1103  "The Dems didn't surrender" The dems are the boss. The parliamentarian works for them. This would be like elon musk telling people that he "surrendered" to his secretary and hid behind that to claim he couldn't do something. It's transparent BS and it's absurd. Elon is the boss. At the end of the day the decisions are Elons. Elon can fire his secretary and get someone to do what he wants just like the dems decide who their parliamentarian is.
    1
  12.  @dashx1103  The parliamentarian works for the dems. To claim the dems can't do something because of them is asinine. It's like elon musk claiming he couldn't do something because his secretary forbid it.... as if he isn't the boss. As if the decisions aren't ultimately his. It's silly. And only someone who listens to far too much ryan grim would buy it.

  13.  @dashx1103  "It is kind of funny." The only thing that's funny is that this is all you have in response to my comments. "I’m going back and forth between this and another Halper segment" I don't know why you think this is funny, why you are bring this up when it has nothing to do with what we are talking about, or why you think I care about anecdotes. "I’m defending Aaron against feeble accusations about him." LMFAO Is that what you think you are doing with this response? Is this you "defending ryan grim from feeble accusations?" But you aren't saying anything of value. You aren't even attempting to address my points. I hope you are doing better defending aaron than that. Like maybe make an argument... or are you just telling everyone how you are here defending ryan grim? As if that would be a point there?
    1
  14.  @dashx1103  "I’ve addressed feeble points— which is all you’ve made." Projection 101. "solely on failing to support force the vote" This is simply not true. "an article that doesn’t say what you claim" I didn't "claim" it said anything. I quoted it's headline. "You’ve claimed that Grim is condemnable as a journalist, but you’ve made no case for it." Was I misrepresenting his claim or was I not making an argument? At least pick a disingenuous lane and stick to it. "Other than to assert accusations" That you don't refute.... "regurgitate what some podcast claims." Except when you are deflecting to talk about jimmy when this isn't about him. FYI giving your own comment doesn't make it any better than it is. It only shows your disingenuousness.
    1
  15.  @dashx1103  "I’ve addressed feeble points" Also, no, you haven't. You ignored my point about the parliamentarian. "No. I don't believe Schumer is working to raise minimum wage." You agreed with my point that schumer isn't actually trying to raise the minimum wage. "solely on failing to support force the vote" While I did bring up force the vote and it wasn't my only problem with him this is all you did to "address" that point. Lastly you don't even attempt to address my point that he's paid by multiple billionaires. You have successfully addressed ZERO of my points.

  16.  @dashx1103  "He was highly critical of Biden." That's what controlled opposition does before it tells you to vote for him despite the fact that he's a corrupt POS. "it was a rational position." Only someone brainwashed by too much sam would think that voting for evil is rational.
    1
  17.  @dashx1103  "he’s a “good journalist” or not." Good journalists aren't shills for corrupt people and corrupt parties. But good luck with your BS. I hope you don't actually believe it. I hope you are only paid to say it.
    1
  18.  @dashx1103  "He didn’t favor the “correct” candidate? That makes him a bad journalist?" It's makes him a shill for corrupt politicians just like the people working at fox and all the of corporate media.
    1
  19.  @dashx1103  "he voted for between two terrible candidates just doesn’t define whether he’s a “good journalist” or not" Good journalists call out terrible politicians. Shills like sam tell you to vote for terrible candidates.
    1
  20.  @dashx1103  "he voted for between two terrible candidates just doesn’t define whether he’s a “good journalist” or not" He didn't just vote for him... he told everyone else to vote for him. Good journalists call out corrupt politicians. Shills like sam tell you to vote for them.
    1
  21.  @dashx1103  "who he voted for between two terrible candidates just doesn’t define whether he’s a “good journalist” or not" This isn't about who he voted for.... this is about him telling everyone else then needed to vote for a corrupt politician. What do you think controlled opposition does if not that?
    1
  22.  @dashx1103  Good journalists call out corrupt politicians like biden. Shills like sam will tell you to vote for them.

  23.  @dashx1103  "And there it is." Yes. There your intellectual dishonesty is. Me: "He tells everyone THEY need to vote blue no matter who." You: "He didn't vote like I wanted him" "therefore he's a shill" LMFAO That's what shills do.. sell their product. At the end of the day his product is corrupt dems.
    1
  24.  @dashx1103  "therefore he's a shill." Let's say someone told me to drink mountain dew. That would make them a shill for mountain dew just like grim is a shill for the corrupt dems.
    1
  25.  @dashx1103  Grim tells everyone to "drink" the dems at election time. Therefor he's a shill for them. That's EXACTLY how it works.
    1
  26.  @dashx1103  "Hilarious. "He reported bad stuff about the guy I don't like. But he decided that guy was the lesser of two evils -- so he must be a 'shill.' If he doesn't vote the way I do, he's definitely a shill." Dear god." You are using quotation marks wrong. That's my polite way to say that you are lying.
    1
  27.  @dashx1103  "so he must be a 'shill.'" He tells you to vote for them every general election. That's why he's a shill. And the rest is just meaningless details.
    1
  28.  @dashx1103  He actually: grim is a shill because at the end of the day he's blue no matter who. He'd tell you to vote for donald trump if he were represent that team because that's what he ALWAYS does. That's why he's a shill. And just because he occasionally tells you how he thinks the dems are bad to gain your trust before telling you to vote for them... it's textbook controlled opposition.
    1
  29.  @dashx1103  "he decided that guy was the lesser of two evils -- so he must be a 'shill.'" If someone is telling you to vote for evil they are shilling for evil... at best. At worst they are pure evil.

  30.  @dashx1103  You know how I can tell bernie sanders is a shill for joe biden? He told everyone to vote joe. That's how it works. That's what the word means.
    1
  31.  @dashx1103  And I know grim is a shill for the dems not because he votes for them.... but because he tells everyone else they need to vote for them. That's how it works. That's LITERALLY what the word means.

  32.  @dashx1103  "Was it while he was reporting on corruption at the Mountain Dew plant?" LMFAO Would that it make it better? That he's telling you to drink something after telling you about the sludge in it?

  33.  @dashx1103  "Was it while he was reporting on corruption at the Mountain Dew plant?" 'Mountain dew is TERRIBLE for you. Now go drink it.' -ryan grim, probably

  34.  @dashx1103  Correction, I should have said, "Mountain dew is TERRIBLE for you. Now go drink it. -ryan grim, *if mountain dew paid him to say it

  35.  @nicka731  Great comment nick. That's why it's being shadowbanned. Land of the free am I right? /s

  36.  @dashx1103  "It was a "rational" perspective." Millions of people voted for trump knowing he was terrible but they are brainwashed into thinking they need pick one of the major parties. There is nothing rational about the perspective. It's supporting evil.
    1
  37.  @dashx1103  "It was a "rational" perspective." That "perspective" is how they get you to support evil. This is how they play you. Jimmy dore just did a great video titled, "Democrats Are FUNDING Radical Republicans" exposing what they do and why they do it. Grim enables the behavior. JD does good journalism by calling it out.
    1
  38.  @dashx1103  "Good v evil." LMFAO Yup. There is actually evil in the world. All the bad happening isn't all by accident. Some of it's by design by people that want it to happen. But if you don't think someone is evil they can't be evil I guess according to you. You don't even need to consider the possibility or attempt arguments I guess. You can just laugh it off. FYI this is but one reason among many why I've never taken you seriously. I'm not talking to you. I'm only talking at you.
    1
  39.  @dashx1103  "That is a "rational" perspective." You seem to think that anyone who has an "argument" is being "rational." Are flat earther to you? Because they have "arguments?" It's not. That's not how it works. It's just another example of you NOT being rational.
    1
  40.  @dashx1103  "ONLY rational perspective." 'People who think the globe isn't flat aren't the only people with rational perspective.' -dash x, probably
    1
  41.  @dashx1103  "I certainly understood people who acknowledged that Biden sucked, but sucked less than Trump." Actual rational people don't care who is worse because neither should get anyones vote. It's like trying comparing maxwell and r kelly to figure out who sucks more. Ultimately it doesn't matter who is worse because you shouldn't be voting for either.
    1
  42.  @dashx1103  "I certainly understood people who acknowledged that Biden sucked, but sucked less than Trump." So do I "understand" why they do it. But that doesn't mean it's ok or "rational." They are voting for evil, making the world worse, and not acting logically. Voting for good is actually what acting logically looks like. Voting for evil is not.
    1
  43.  @dashx1103  "I almost took you seriously for a minute." You don't take me seriously because I call out grim? But you take people seriously who vote for evil? Millions of people knew trump was terrible and voted for him anyway because they thought he was "less evil." Those are the types of people you take seriously. Who you think are acting "rationally." People who vote for terrible. FYI I call out those trump supporters the same way I call out biden supporters. I don't care when they think trump is "less evil" either.
    1
  44.  @dashx1103  You: "That the way we think is the ONLY possible way to think." Also you: " I almost took you seriously for a minute." I'll leave you to think that yours is the only way to think... and for you to do it really hypocritically.
    1
  45.  @dashx1103  "believe there is ONLY ONE rational perspective" I'm not addressing every perspective. I'm only addressing the one that supports evil. And yeah... supporting evil is not rational. And the only people who claim otherwise are evil trying to convince good people to support them and useful idiots for evil. "Deciding on who to vote for in an election isn't remotely the same as recognizing the world isn't flat." You are "rationalizing" supporting evil. I'm not saying it's the same. But I am saying it's arguably just as dumb when it's broken down. " I'd like to think you know that and are just trolling now." Think whatever nonsense you want. I know you will at the end of the day. "your own BS" LMFAO I'm here saying don't support evil and the people enabling it. You think that's BS? "I notice you still haven't answered my questions." Wait... what? I'm doing my absolute best to address every point you are making as you make them. I'm tempted to go back and count the many questions of mine you haven't answered but that list is going to be way too long for me to want to do it.

  46.  @dashx1103  "it has nothing to do with Grim." Grim is a tool of the dems. He writes articles to manufacture consent for them, like the one I've already cited.
    1
  47.  @dashx1103  "it has nothing to do with Grim." You seem to think grim is a "good journalist." I wanted to show you what good journalism actually looks like. Grim is more of a stenographer for people in power.

  48.  @dashx1103  I've said my peace and wasted too much time addressing you. I'd done. Good luck with your BS. I hope you are paid for it like grim is paid for his.

  49.  @dashx1103  "you ignore all the serious commentary and reporting Grim did/does regarding Biden, the Dems, the DNC, the DCCC, etc. Why?" I don't ignore it. I know that even propagandist networks such as CNN and FOX do "decent" reporting on occasion. That's how they get anyone to believe they are on their side before they sell them out. "Doesn't suit the narrative, and isn't discussed in your echo chamber." You want me to admit that grim doesn't say 100 percent terrible things. It's true. I could say the same about donald trump. It has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. It's just you deflecting. Me: "grim manufactures consent for corrupt dems" You strawmanning the argument actually made to you: "Ultimately, this seems to come down to the fact that Grim apparently thought voting for Trump was worse than voting for Biden." Ultimately everyone is going to have an opinion about who is worse between the two. It doesn't matter. This is about who you should vote for. And you shouldn't vote for evil. The notion that you need to pick between the two major parties is just BS the major parties use to keep them in the system. And they use propagandists like grim to do it. "You've compared Grim holding that opinion to believing the Earth is flat." What I was doing is known as "reductio ad absurdum" in philosophy. "Which pretty well discredits you." You are projecting. And your lack of knowledge discredits you. And I'm foolish for continuing to waste my time. "an opinion you've co-opted from someone else" What a pathetic and lazy way for you try and dismiss the points being made to you. It's what you say when you don't have substantive arguments to make. "Pretending your opinion is fact" If you vote for evil you are enabling and supporting evil. That's not my "opinion." It's fact. And nothing about it being the "lesser" evil changes it.

  50.  @InfoForYou8  I admire your persistence but question why you make replies to yourself instead of just making one post.
