@UCy9d4PdVUo2g4EwmwgFwfcg Buddy, I'm a Canadian. Our politics are almost entirely left of US politics and, personally, I almost can't score any further left, or further libertarian, on a political compass test. Economically, most US Democrats are to the right of our Conservative party. I think both the US parties suck ass, and I struggle with not believing that the US is a majority of morons, for not voting Bernie, and for not joining the rest of the developed world. I also understand the benefit of having a viable third party (NDP, which I vote for) and, under normal circumstances, might support not voting Democrat, letting an average Republican be president, let the Democrat party fall apart, and pushing for a third party to rise up.
Having said that, it's not normal times. US Republicans are outright cookoo for cocopuffs insane. They're letting hundreds of thousands of people die, and you've got 70m people who look like they'd be willing to close the door on democracy, and check the final box for outright fascism, just to keep Trumpty Dumpty in office. That's not the time to be bashing the most progressive people you've got. Whether you're a full blown USSR style communist, an underground anarchist, or a US crony capitalist (all totally not in the same tribe) you team up and take out the damn fucking fascists ... pronto. The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and the fucking psychos should be your biggest enemy. Have your cold war with the corporate Dems later, or on the side, but stay focused on who the biggest threat is. Bannon is calling for heads. Jones is calling for a revolution. Oath keepers are saying they're armed and ready, when Trump gives the word. Proud Boys are standing by. But, hey, let's take this time to bash AOC and make baseless bullshit claims that progressives are just there for appearances, as if the corporate Dems actually wanted progressives to win instead of fighting them tooth and nail. That's getting into some conspiracy crap and, whatever the case, they should be the last people on your hit list.
That's if you actually want to move the US left, which I'm no longer sure Jimmy does. I stopped watching because Jimmy was seeming more and more like a Sam Harris type, claiming to be more liberal than the liberals he was constantly bashing, while spouting all kinds of crap far right nutters would lap up. And, no, the odd swing at a Republican, every blue moon, doesn't balance things out.
