What, coronavirus? The thing we study and experiment with at the coronavirus factory? Yeah that wasn’t us…it was those god drat poor people across the street.

This is like blaming a plague of rats on the lab studying monkeys and gerbils, because they're both mammals.

Praxis is when people who discovered socialism online in 2017 decide to leave their posting stations and participate in low-risk "activism" like slipping photos of Thomas Sankara into japanese light novels at the liberry for other weebs to find

praxis is when you agree to do it my way

The bits where Trevor Noah riffed on being from south africa and SA vs USA were some of the funniest bits I saw from his stuff on TDS.

Like, Noah wasn't great, but neither was late-era Stewart IMO. I'd pretty much stopped watching before he left.

Did Jon Stewart ever attack Dems back in the day? I kinda don’t recall that at all. The softest jabs, maybe.

"Biden is loving old" is a pretty soft jab though!

In fact, you might even say it is not a jab at all, but a simple unvarnished observation that the man is older than any previous president.

i remember he skewered obama pretty regularly

yeah but pretty ineffectively, because obama was smart enough to put a few months between promising to do something like stop bombing weddings and the order to increase drone strikes by 50%. obama was smart enough to play stewart.

TDS did more making fun of Dems during the Clinton-Bernie kerfluffle because that was an easy comedy target.

Maybe y'all should just change your voting and electoral system to stop blatant and prolific gerrymandering and the completely segregated two party system.

Nah, tv funny man will save us instead lol

Oh, word? I'll go write a constitutional amendment requiring rank choice voting in all elections, and get that passed in congress and 3/4ths of the states. Annnnnnnd done! So easy! I can't believe nobody bothered to fix this before, it only took a few hours.


I don't think tv funny man will save us from the 2 party system, but I also don't blame him for existing inside it.
