>People who aren't in the center--they're not smart like us, are they?

>>212144646 (OP)
You're right Bill. Fuck partisans.

>>212144646 (OP)
but he hates centrists he shits on independents especially during election season where he calls undecideds retarded dudes a blue no matter who and people like him are the reason democracy is a terrible idea

>>212144646 (OP)
honestly no they aren't. centrist may be naive and that itself is a form of stupidity but it really doesn't take a genius to figure out that there is cause and effect in this world beyond good vs evil

I think being a centrist is just not really giving a shit in the first place. I can't believe that you've actually considered every political ideology and form of human social system pondered over throughout the last couple thousand years and managed to come to the conclusion that the perfect form of it just so happens to be the status quo of the country you're living in.

Fuck that dude is ugly

>>212144646 (OP)
new rule
how about let the jews do all the thinkin hmmm?

>>212144646 (OP)

problem is if one step short of the radical left is considered the "center"..

>>212144646 (OP)
He's right that you should have nuanced views, but our winner takes all R+D system means you pick one or the other. Not voting is also a choice.

>>212144646 (OP)
>consider every issue individually instead of picking a "side" and having every opinion pre-selected for you
>get called a coward
I never understood this

>>212145695
People got really into politics in 2016 and because people are getting dumber over time, they just treat it like a team sport because it's easier to understand.

>>212145678
its called being an adult. and picking the lesser of two evils.

>>212144646 (OP)
>>212145651
imagine thinking bill maher is the center

I bet his cock and his nose look exactly the same.

>>212145829
And I do constantly, but fuck I'd love a party that actually cared about fiscal responsibility.

>>212145785
>in 2016

>>212144646 (OP)
I like how mad he makes everyone on the internet.
Like we're at the point where being considered a good person by someone is just tied to what positions you hold on domestic and foreign policy. There's little space for nuance and no space for being undecided.
For instance Trump has a 46% Approval/54% Disapproval rating. Nobody is a little here a little there. Either he's a wannabe Putin with a hatred of immigrants or he's the only one who can solve the problems the country has. Nobody is like "Bitch doesn't do anything besides yell, but some of his yells I agree with" or "I don't know fuck off"

why do neoliberals pretend they’re not in an ideological bubble with their core values being loyalty to corporations and israel?

>>212144646 (OP)
This, but unironically.

>>212145829
Countries without retarded election systems have more than 2 parties, the American brain apparently can't handle a variety of choice.

>>212145977
Because the vast majority of people off the internet think that Israel is better than its neighbors at human rights and Capitalism is better at getting them things

>>212145974
true

>>212144646 (OP)
Bill is unironically right and anyone who disagrees with him is a drooling retard.

>>212145968
That may have been where the roots started to form, but people really didn't join The Fray until Trump was running. He was the catalyst

>>212145829
Which is the male candidate, apparently.
But I'm sure third times the charm

Hitler please come back, we need you.

"Over My Head (Cable Car)" was released in 2005 though.

>>212144646 (OP)
Club random is my favorite podcast.

>>212146075
Ultimately if you treat 2020 as an outlier (due to the fact that everyone was basically stuck at home, voting by mail and had nothing else to do and weeks to do it) voter turnout in Presidential Elections hasn't really changed since the 2004 election and if you count 1996 and 2000 as post-cold war apathy elections between indistinguishable centrists the numbers have basically been the same since 1972 (basically between the Voting Rights Act and the 26th Amendment the point where we had our "modern electorate" of everyone over 18 who is a citizen can vote easily)
So the idea of "people weren't politically active" is ridiculous. Millennials just came of age and the Children of people born right after the Hippies acted like they had invented protesting.

>>212146031
the majority of americans now have an unfavorable view of israel according to polls.
corporate influence has always been deeply unpopular.
hillary lost. kamala lost. cuomo lost.

you are retarded.

>>212146365
said no one ever

>>212146487
Yeah, but how do those people feel about Egypt, Syria, Lebanon and Turkey.
Nobody has a positive view of any of those places, they just used to have a positive view of Israel when they thought they were somehow different and Bibi wasn't just Erdogan with hair.

When did 4chan switch to thinking dumb people are actually smart?

>>212146075
Horse shit. Things were already fucking terrible years before Trump. In fact, Trump would never have been elected had Gamergate not happened, or had the media not reacted to it in the way they did.

>>212146729
we had to do it to em

>>212146678
2004

>>212145829
Which for us 99% is always the left. But a lot of retarded angry incels don't know that and assist billionaires with their tax cuts. Still waiting for that trickle down, 40 years later.

>>212146920
still waiting for tax revenue to trickle down and help a non immigrant, gotta be patient

>>212146644
how is that relevant? what matters is that Israel is now unpopular which makes politicians who defend it unpopular

>>212144646 (OP)
>jewvermin supreme
>centrist

>>212144646 (OP)
They're certainly more annoying.

>>212146028
Proportional representation has as many pitfalls as Single member district systems. What really fucks the US is the senate

>>212145829
Evil is evil. Both sides want to leave you broke and enslaved to them.

>>212144646 (OP)
I rarely see left wing extremists on the show (which is great), but nearly every right winger he has on is so full of shit, they are psychopathic. Bill only gets bothered when things affect him directly like taxing the rich, having to have his roof inspected, or temporarily shutting down his show to prevent the spread of disease. He can't even handle not drinking and smoking up the room when addicts and those with health issues are on his podcast. He has sociopathic traits himself. That's not politically centrist (sane), it's just becoming more typical.

>>212148197
You couldn't recognize a left wing extremist if he talked about cole porter

>>212147185
Right. It feels like Ghostbusters, you must choose the form of your destruction. Broke with rainbow flag emojis or broke with american flag emojis. Like.... wow, big choice.

As an atheist i'd like to apologise to all christians on this board for bill's (((documentary))) on religion called Religulous. He literally just goes around making fun of poor people for 90 minutes. Very jewish behaviour but he's totally not jewish.
