You know his career has been going on for longer than just the past year right?

Yes, which is why I brought up his furious early-BLM-days coverage of police shootings, back before it was a mainstream position, and his resignation from Comedy Central and his activism for the 9/11 firefighters and the other stuff he did like 5-10 years ago.

People can do good and bad things and people dislike him for doing bad things for the last 20 years.

Sure. What bad stuff has he done, to counterbalance the stuff I'm talking about which puts him in the 99th percentile of people who are in the public eye in any capacity talking about politics?

He was shitting on Bernie sanders

The fuck you talking about

For convenience here's a bit of the transcript:

"But the real difference is, Hillary has professional image handlers... Telling her to comb her hair... Today... And tomorrow... Make it a regular thing. And Hillary: Instead of using your actual voice, make it sound like you're from whatever region it is you're talking to."

(Shows a clip of Clinton talking in a southern accent when talking to a southern audience)

"The problem isn't Bernie Sanders is a crazy pants cuckoo bird, it's all we've become so accustomed to stage managed, focus-driven candidates that authenticity comes across as lunacy."

(Shows a clip of someone calling Bernie Sanders the most unusual candidate we've seen in a long time)

"If by unusual you mean honestly representing himself and his beliefs rather than playing a cynical political game."

and has always supported right wing democrats

The fuck you talking about

Like also... the story about the Biden adminstration that you can get to by clicking on the link up at the top of the article up there?

have hamstrung leftist in this country for a long time

What in the name of God loving fuck are you talking about

Like who? What leftists did he hamstring and how?

And democrats aren't fucking leftist, if your party is pro Capitalism then it's a right wing party.

Agreed. This is literally the only sentence of your message that's not coming from some bizarro world.
