Jon Stewart could pierce the veil, I hope some day genuine good people see themselves as worthy of the power they could wield. If not them, then clearly a thousand ghouls are waiting in the ramparts.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I sure hope so. For a while after Trevor left, The Daily Show was really floundering for a bit, giving nearly everyone a run at the desk, even if they were abrasive and not even remotely funny, as long as they ticked some diversity box. I was on the verge of giving up watching until they changed that up a bit and then brought Jon back.
First rule of thumb in trying to win people over might be not being annoying AF. I think Air America made this mistake to a large degree....
There are 3 words Joe might understand.
I’m Ron Burgundy?
Pull that up
I love you?
Ah yes... Vaush.
Kinda empty when a monetized "socialist" whines about someone else being bought.
But yeah, Joe Rogan sucks. Vaush sucks for the same reason. They're both sucking on the same algorithmically monetized teets.
You're going to equate a streamer who does no ad sponsor reads to a Podcaster with a 250 million dollar contract? Who would you even listen to that would clear your criteria? Insane.
Yeah theres a lot to criticize Vaush over but being a streamer isnt one of them.
I find most of it to be overblown, and what's not overblown to be bad arguments stemming from arguing from the extremes over every topic ever. Maybe rhetorically useful, but the Nazis don't belong in symbolism about mundane slights. The internet is full of people who made up their mind and make up other people's mind about it, but if you watch him it's pretty blantant that there's no nefarious vibes in the man as he exists today.
I mean yt is where the people are so I think it's fair to go there if you want to spread your message
teets
Bone apple tea!
Pretty dark overall but I don't disagree.
