    Great thing about telling people on podcasts that the migrant security issue is fake news....

    Millions of people watching or listening aren't going to feel gaslit by it by a contradiction to their life experiences. How many Americans in their actual lives had a violent encounter with an illegal immigrant?

    Cutting regulations is the opposite of neoliberalism dude. Neoliberalism is giving tax breaks to home builders. Economic populism is building houses and cutting red tape to make it easier to build.

    In California it takes years to get environmental approval to build a subdivision! The entire process is broken by rich lefties who hate building new things!

    I don't think you understand what neo-liberalism is.

    It's an ideology that believes the market system can solve issues combined with the idea of civil rights and basic worker protections. You are thinking that neo-liberalism is a left ideology?

    So objective measurements are gas lighting?

    You’re making the point that this election was decided on false and misleading information.

    Yup. Dude people don't care about gdp growth when they have to chose between fixing the exhaust leak on their car or pay your rent in full.

    They don't care about "real wage growth" when these things are their day to day experiences. Lived experiences matter.

    How the **** is the government building millions of new houses by Cutting red tape and rolling back environmental standards neoliberalism? WTF are you talking about.

    Your entire strategy is democrats should go on right wing podcasts and convince everyone that 1+1=5. Tell them that trans people have the right to play with biological women and their fears are overblown and they're dumb for thinking it's wrong.

    Lefties are so utterly delusional. I thought @AroundTheWorld was a nutcase but your strategy is just as dumb

    Real wages have grown at a faster pace since 2022 than at any point under trump. YOURE EFFIN CLUELESS

    At least the Grand Old Party recognizes its need to put a lid on Trumpists in the Senate.

    1+1=5 is believing that a larger percentage of Americans are more negatively effected by rent payments than a trans woman at a women's swim meet?

    It seems like you are becoming a bit unglued now and any worthwhile non harassing ways of expressing difference in opinion seems to have past so I think we have met an end to any worthwhile discussion for today.

    Calm down and tomorrow we can can continue.

    MLK makes this exact same argument about the superficial support of the white moderate. Go actually listen to things the man has said.

    Mlk also supported LBJ for president and worked alongside him to pass civil rights act. Youre effing clueless and delusional man. You sincerely have no idea what you're talking about

    Letter from Birmingham Jail (ext)
    By Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., 16 April 1963
    "First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

    Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection."

    Say it. Say MLK hated white people. Go ahead. Show some Hutzpah behind your words.

    I now know why Bernie got less support in every campaign since 2016. Lefties are some of the most delusional people on planet earth. I understand why Bernie got less votes in every state in 2020 vs 2016. It all makes sense now.

    You want democrats to go on right wing channels and convince voters that something they overwhelming agree with is stupid and fight the uphill battle.

    Utterly delusional and insane.

    Yep and I think 1963 was a long ****ing time ago.

    You are going back and forth (and losing) with someone all day every day. You could be putting all this energy into something positive. MLK would probably tell you the same thing.

    MLK didnt hate white people. You do
