lol Episode 1. Every candidate in the debate for Homie County Recorder of Deeds was an ardent leftist.

From that list it seems like the defining trait of leftist media is "knowing Felix Biederman"

He is going to be so crushed when Biden ends up getting the nomination. All of their predictions seem to depend on Biden's campaign sort of just evaporating. There's lots of obvious reasons that it should do just that, but not a lot of evidence that it actually will.

Even though I'm not convinced by it I can see where the accusation of sexism against Chapo could come from. But where the gently caress does the racism thing come from? Why are these people all so convinced Chapo is racist, to the point where they just say it and its accepted as true without any question?

Is it purely "Racism is bad and Chapo is bad Q.E.D. Chapo is racist"

I thought Amber's point was okay when she boiled it down - basically you will never get anywhere by trying to rebut disingenuous allegations, the only answer is to discredit the press that's making them in the minds of voters.

Listening to Blowback, it's very good and incredibly rage inducing.

The public rehabilitation of the the loving criminals involved in Iraq is a scandal. Systematic evil on a scale that Trump cannot hold a candle to and it's just been memory-holed.

2020 is exactly stupid enough for a Balkan crisis to break out over Felix's race science on a podcast review of NBC's The Slap.

Is Felix actually Turkish or does he just feel an affinity with the strength and moral rectitude of the Turk?

I think the real problem is that the Virus is sucking all the oxygen out of the room and every news cycle that isn't about Joe Biden's rape is about Covid, and I don't think the boys want to be reduced to being a podcast that just does weekly Covid updates so they're scraping the bottom of the barrel for something, anything else to talk about

It's just this. Today's episode is hilarious because they've got Venezuela to talk about.

The posts were absolute dogshit but Reddit's justification for it is still laughable.

quote:

Remember the human. Reddit is a place for creating community and belonging, not for attacking marginalized or vulnerable groups of people. Everyone has a right to use Reddit free of harassment, bullying, and threats of violence. Communities and people that incite violence or that promote hate based on identity or vulnerability will be banned.

They repeatedly promoted hate against vulnerable people that identify as cops and billionaires.

The post-election issues polling has indicated that Labour were completely hosed no matter what. For whatever reason, a huge swathe of their traditional base (mostly northern, working class voters) is obsessively, militantly committed to Brexit happening to the exclusion of literally all other issues. There was no way of appeasing them without taking a firm pro-Brexit stance and completely alienating all the liberal types the party also needs who are equally as opposed to Brexit.

The only chance was if they could make the election about something other than Brexit in the minds of voters, which they did very effectively in 2017 but really failed on in 2019. There was no possible compromise position other than getting people to forget about the issue a bit.

McKay barely even says it’s good, he says it’s a character piece that says nothing about the Iraq war. He probably knows the people that made it and is being polite. What the gently caress are they meant to “push” him on.

It just seems like an extended Will film school monologue on a movie that's not bad or weird enough to be interesting, with Felix chipping in something funny every five minutes. I get why they'd pick this to talk about but it didn't really work out as very interesting.
