"WHEN he's on our side there's nobody better." It's a service to let people know who the guests are, for us to decide whether to look at parts of it or none. I don't know the numbers but he has a representative number from all sides, and when the MAGAts go over the top he does good smackdowns on them. And when he doesn't smack down enough I post angrily about him. But above all, one of the Liberal core principles is Free Speech - being able to be open to the reality of what's out there, not to do the ostrich thing because knowledge is power, not to live in a bubble. It is the MAGAts who try to pretend that the enemy doesn't exist, the way the Repukes of Olde denied the existence of "Red China." And we also have in our Lib DNA to look within ourselves to find root causes, while Wingnuts look outside for whom to blame, us digesting constructive criticism. And at least part of what he does is to hurl SOME constructive criticism for improving our strategies to win. Not how totally Wingnut operatives pretend to give us (unasked for) "advice," when it's obvious they are just mocking.
This dude claims to be an "old style" Lib (although he's now on board with the MAGAt deception that America's "greatness" was when the 1950s Father Knows Best White days was the norm), and so far claims to donate millions to Dem nominees and votes for them.
I don't watch most of the time, and mostly YouTube clips of the monolog, New Rules, and after-thing, and good guests or bad ones being slapped down. Plus, I don't Follow or "watch" hardly anything - movies, long stuff - just have things on the shelf in the background while doing *this*.
*** Like on DU, it's easy to *skip* the stuff not liked and not feeling obligated to tell the world of almighty disapproval of what others post. There are thousands of other things out there, so why spend aura on what's not liked instead of what's liked?
*** *THANK* you, Rhiannon12866 (255,215 posts), for the YEARS of DU service!
