Seriously what happened to leftist media in America?
10 years ago they used to have Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, Olberman, Maher. All pretty funny guys at the time. Now they were replaced by violent BLM protesters, Jon Stewart's affirmative action replacement, Rachel Maddow, Samantha Bee, and Van Jones. None of these people are funny and they're all condescending and mean.
Colbert and Maher are still sort of around but all they do is throw tantrums about Trump and talk about race. Stewart occasionally makes appearances, but he's really nasty and angry and completely unlike what he used to be. (pic relate)
It used to be appealing and funny to the average guy, but now it's like totally unappealing unless you're very hard-left and hate white people.
I used to love Real Time with Bill Maher but now it's unwatchable. He isn't one-tenth as funny as he used to be and all he does shill for the left.
I'm sure part of it is that I've become more conservative over the last few years but holy shit
Austin Lee
Never go full retard
Josiah Barnes
He's anti-islam.
Can't have that, now.
Nicholas Moore

Isaac Rogers
Politics has become more polarized and pulled the pundits along with it.
Bill Clinton as a democrat in the 90s was against gay marriage, for reforming welfare & tough on crime. Could you imagine a democrat today running on that platform?
Christian Howard
I still watch it. The new season actually just started last night. I like to watch for the panels, but even then I have to hope he gets at least one person who isnt a strict liberal.
Kayden Long
And it's good he's stuck to his guns on that but his show has gone to hell. I just tried to watch a new episode of his and I had to turn it off less than 20 minutes in
>omg aren't voter id laws so racist? >climate change deniers amirite guys? >can you believe they want to defund planned parenthood? fucking sexists kill me
Samuel Wright
It's almost as if Muslims hate Jews for religious reasons or something.
Grayson Morgan
Liberals are not leftists. When will Amerifats understand this?
Jaxon Murphy
Jews
Caleb Gutierrez
Nothing happened. You just evolved into a trigger Trumpkin unable to handle the concept of normies not liking your meme candidate. You won the election, and yet somehow you're still acting like a whiny loser. Get over it.
Elijah Peterson
It is weird how agressive the left has become. Sure, Jon trashed Bush like everyone else did, but he didn't call his supporters sexist Hitlers, he didn't shout like a crazy person the way Sam Bee does. What happened. I feel like if 9/11 happens now, liberal media will be the truthers saying Trump did it.
Jack Hall
>Seriously what happened to leftist media in America? >10 years ago they used to have Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, Olberman, Maher. All pretty funny guys at the time. An argument could be made that these very people who did nothing but "satirise" the right did a significant amount of damage to political discourse coming from the left than anything that's occurred recently.
The reduction of social intercourse to specific shows, as in The Daily Show where people somewhat left of centre felt engaged purely by watching these shows, helped facilitate the rise of the right we're currently experiencing. Purely by lending support, through viewership does nothing. Nor does satire and all of the shows above did nothing but this and any significant left leaning discourse was nullified and diluted by the overreliance on Jon Stewart "taking it" to whoever was in the news that day.
Bentley Morales
> they are in certain areas > The government's website on climate change was taken down. Go look right now. > planned parenthood does a whole more than just abortions or give out tampons/birth control
Charles Ross
when the terminology becomes less muddled
the definitions of either are debatable
Henry Carter
I think people have just become more jaded and cynical over the course of the last ten or fifteen years.
Jonathan Morris
>if you're too lazy to get an ID you don't deserve to vote >who fucking cares >good for them, doesn't mean tax dollars should go toward it
Jayden Wood
Because their (((team))) isn't winning currently. A lot of these comedians are funny but often undercut with a tone of smug. Well with the changing of the guard now that smug is going to get replaced with bitter and anger. There will still be "jokes" but they'll be through gritted teeth.
Alexander Gutierrez
>It is weird how agressive the left has become
Robert Brown
Why do american assimilate liberal with leftist and conservative with right wing?
Brayden Wood
yeah, because they were great a year ago
Michael Stewart
Because they are mongs.
Parker Scott
To quote the poet and lyrical genius gucci mane "I wish a nigga would"
Joshua Rivera
Because the public schools teach it because they're run by teacher's unions which are essentially Democratic cartels. Also Reagan.
Aiden Howard
>if you're too lazy to get an ID you don't deserve to vote >if you're a black family living in rural alabama where the nearest DMV is an hours drive away because the state closed down the one in your town to 'save money' and you can't get time off of your minimum wage job you don't deserve to vote
Levi Adams
They've been sitting on the throne of social-political power for too long and now are being kicked off, it's like taking toys away from a toddler that has been hogging them all - they throw tantrums in the hopes that they will get their toys back.
The banners of identity politics and social justice have lost their power. They have become outdated. Times change.
Matthew Walker
Send in the proper paperwork and they'll mail you and ID for free.
Ryan Howard
Probably because there's been no real substantial leftist movement in the US for generations. So liberals, which in the US means progressives (which is amusing) are conflated with the left because I suppose in a country whose median political outlook is conservative, they look "leftist".
Anthony Hill
DMVs don't do that anymore under the pretext that they need you there in person to prove your identity.
Nathan Williams
>blacks in rural Alabama >having a job
You didn't even try to come up with a realistic scenario 2/10
Josiah Howard
They know that nobody watches this shit anymore so they have to appeal to the far left.
Charles Martinez
exactly
There are thousands of things you need an ID for. Voting should be one of them. And the few poor blacks in some rural community that might not get to vote are a small concern when looking at the matter on principle
Beyond that, if you really want to get an ID, you'll fucking get one. If you don't, you obviously aren't that politically inclined
Elijah Rodriguez
>the only way to prove someones identity is meeting them in person
Nope.
Zachary Wood
As far as Americans are concerned:
Liberals = Leftists and generally Democrats Conservatives = Right-Wingers and generally Republicans
When you live in a two-party system like America that's really all you have to shape your world views, so it's no wonder most Americans don't know the difference.
Cameron Wilson
generally apolitical person here
what exactly are the differences?
Nathan Williams
SHALOM MR GOYBERG
Connor Ortiz
I think it started with the Occupy Wall Street movement
don't remember the left being so utterly cringe-worthy prior to that. and its only gotten worse through echo-chambering over the preceding years to what we see nowadays >pic related
Josiah Taylor
Don't take my word for it. Call up your local DMV and ask if you can replace your DL through the mail.
Kayden Flores
>Don't take my word for it. I definitely won't.
Robert Butler
OWS was a good idea before it got co-opted by liberals.
Hunter Jenkins
It's funny, Occupy was heavily supported and promoted on here during the early days of it.
Aaron Lopez
left = socialist/communist ideology/secular right = libertarian/pro free market/religious
Both are pro big bank, corporatism, and pro foreign intervention.
Logan Sanders
The American right isn't libertarian, they love big government and socialism when it benefits them.
Tyler Nelson
I meant what are the differences between leftist and liberal, or conservative and right-wing?
Is the difference that one refers to economics and the other social issues? The few articles I've read seem to be confused and self-contradictory
Justin Mitchell
This is borderline retard logic. People don't get ID's to vote, they get them to buy booze, cigarettes, get into bars, drive, etc. Even if you don't do any of these things it's just fucking smart to have an ID because you never know what company/agency may need to see it for privacy reasons or regulations. If you are not responsible or driven enough to go through the minimal effort to get an ID, you don't deserve to vote, simple as that.
Owen Perez
You are living in an echo chamber. Check the stats. Reruns of Modern Family get more viewers than Bill Maher's show.
Grayson Rodriguez
Since it seems as though you're quite content to wallow in your own misconceptions for the sake of argument assuming that you cannot get a valid ID through the mail would you admit that voter ID is a legitimate issue for many rural people who don't have the same access to these services that you do?
Gabriel Peterson
Everyone deserves to vote in a democracy. Simple as that.
Thomas Thomas
Liberals are defenders of capitalism while just trying to make cosmetic social changes. They were okay with Obama bombing countries.
Hunter Flores
But it doesn't seem like you will be calling your local DMV to verify the information either. Reality is scary huh, kiddo?
Connor Peterson
t. cityboy pretending like he knows what it's like to live in a rural small town
Aiden James
Nothing. The leftist media in America has been dead for several decades.
Nolan Kelly
Will you admit that it's not a race issue?
Leo Lopez
and yet it's only liberal urbanites that get butthurt about voter id laws
Michael Brooks
Obama was against gay marriage when he was elected.
Parker Thomas
Yea, I'm gonna stop what I'm doing and go call up the DMV because of what some user posted on Sup Forums. Yup. Just wait right here I'll be back.
Dominic Sanchez
Please tell me what living in a rural small town has to do with anything. Btw I grew up in a farm town and got my driver's license the day I turned 16, you're making excuses.
Robert Rogers
Yea, especially children and foreign tourists.
Jacob Bell
It is a race issue, in as much as blacks end to vote Democrat.
Christopher Stewart
The liberal viewpoint is anti-rich people everywhere and the conservative is less anti-rich for only people in america.
Michael Jones
It is in places like alabama where the areas that have their services to obtain a legal ID restricted by republican state governments also 'coincidentally' happen to be predominately black who usually vote democrat
Caleb Butler
Somehow exponentially poorer people in India all obtain voter ID cards and they bathe in literal filth.
Sebastian Perry
We've already confirmed you're fine with living in ignorance, bragging about it seems beneath you.
Tyler Robinson
This the new right YouTube echo chamber is as worse as the MSM/Tumblr leftist echo chamber. Same fear mongering with different examples. SJWs are not a majority in the US, they don't have positions of power in government, academia, etc. SJWs are just a SMALL but annoyingly vocal community online. It's funny to think about how neckbeards get triggered at fat blue haired landwhales and their opinions thinking that they're opinion will affect their life in anyway.
Gavin Sanders
This. All these words are just thrown around and nobody really knows what they mean. They became just abstract undefined swear words that are used to defame or insult.
Ayden Fisher
Somebody somewhere might not be able to do the most basic thing that is expected out of an adult therefore we shouldn't we shouldn't have capability of verifying whether said person can legally vote like every other nation does.
Colton Williams
You use every argument and buzzword in this video:
Since you seem so upset about this, I'll make you a promise. In 3 years when my license expires, the first thing I'll do its try to renew it remotely. Happy?
Gabriel Long
There are already extensive anti-discrimination laws on the books. If you could actually prove people are being discriminated based on race you would have an open and shut case.
The fact that every lawyer in the country isn't scrambling to represent such a case proves that the evidence isn't there.
Anthony Adams
>it is racist to require people to have an Driver's License on them to vote >At the same time, it is not racist to require people to have a Driver's License on them to drive
Cooper White
>asking people who live in a big city about problems facing rural Americans
What a dishonest video. It's not blacks in Atlanta that have their access to the DMV restricted. It's the ones living out in the boonies
Jason Gomez
Nothing changed, you've just spent too much time on Sup Forums and got brainwashed by Stormfront. That's what happens when you're a gullible and impressionable retard.
Isaiah Scott
>i've never been to law school but I know exactly how the law works in these cases
Camden Ross
I don't care what you do, I'm just pointing out the infantile way you shy away from knowledge.
Outside of this conversation, I never hope to speak to you again.
Elijah Davis
Ok, then feel free to prove what I said wrong.
or just continue to spew buzzwords and greentext, w/e
Jack Hill
>SJWs are not a majority in the US, they don't have positions of power in government, academia, etc. Fucking this. At the end of the day, SJWs are easy to ignore because they don't really have much power and the democratic party doesn't really care about them. Right-wingers on the other hand have a huge influence on the Republican party.
Connor Reyes
>Americans actually think it's racist to require ID to vote
This is almost as bad as when I found out about "undocumented immigrants"
Jaxson King
Do you realize how insignificant these conversations are? Do you really expect me to do anything different in my day just because an anonymous stranger gets angry at what I post?
Nicholas Parker
There are people who actually believe that the point of voter ID laws is something other than suppressing the votes of poor people?
Juan Foster
Again, poor people in third world countries walk miles to vote and obtain ID but Jamal can't uber, use a bus, use a taxi, walk, or get a ride from anyone they know. Rural towns have everything in the center of the town. They are literally that retarded is what you're saying.
Nicholas Mitchell
>SJWs are not a majority in the US, they don't have positions of power in government, academia, etc. SJWs are just a SMALL but annoyingly vocal community online. SJWs are literally institutionalized in academia. What do you think Women's studies degrees are but pure feminist ideology?
Logan Rodriguez
You're wrong they are all over academia, even in scientific circles.
Brody Kelly
Numerous "progressive" European countries which American leftists constantly say they want America to emulate require ID to vote
Are they suppressing the poors' vote?
Luis Howard
>Alabama closes DMV offices in 30 counties (out of 67) >8 of them are located in counties that voted for Obama (which was 15 total) >Close a bunch of state parks at the same time Clearly this is just race issue and not a budget issue at all.
Nicholas Hughes
They are all over more so in academia than other institutions. Even the US Park Service under Obama was shilling for LGBT.
Most the people online are young adults. Young adults have to deal with SJWs at school or in work more than anyone else, so of course they care more about that annoyance than other annoyances. Going to college right now is a fucking hellscape.
