Seriously what happened to leftist media in America?

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.

don't forget about le current year man :^)

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

Never go full retard

He's anti-islam.

Can't have that, now.

...

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?

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.

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

It's almost as if Muslims hate Jews for religious reasons or something.

Liberals are not leftists. When will Amerifats understand this?

Jews

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.

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.

>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.

> 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

when the terminology becomes less muddled

the definitions of either are debatable

I think people have just become more jaded and cynical over the course of the last ten or fifteen years.

>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

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.

>It is weird how agressive the left has become

Why do american assimilate liberal with leftist and conservative with right wing?

yeah, because they were great a year ago

Because they are mongs.

To quote the poet and lyrical genius gucci mane
"I wish a nigga would"

Because the public schools teach it because they're run by teacher's unions which are essentially Democratic cartels.
Also Reagan.

>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

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.

Send in the proper paperwork and they'll mail you and ID for free.

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".

DMVs don't do that anymore under the pretext that they need you there in person to prove your identity.

>blacks in rural Alabama
>having a job

You didn't even try to come up with a realistic scenario 2/10

They know that nobody watches this shit anymore so they have to appeal to the far left.

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

>the only way to prove someones identity is meeting them in person

Nope.

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.

generally apolitical person here

what exactly are the differences?

SHALOM MR GOYBERG

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

Don't take my word for it. Call up your local DMV and ask if you can replace your DL through the mail.

>Don't take my word for it.
I definitely won't.

OWS was a good idea before it got co-opted by liberals.

It's funny, Occupy was heavily supported and promoted on here during the early days of it.

left = socialist/communist ideology/secular
right = libertarian/pro free market/religious

Both are pro big bank, corporatism, and pro foreign intervention.

The American right isn't libertarian, they love big government and socialism when it benefits them.

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

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.

You are living in an echo chamber. Check the stats. Reruns of Modern Family get more viewers than Bill Maher's show.

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?

Everyone deserves to vote in a democracy. Simple as that.

Liberals are defenders of capitalism while just trying to make cosmetic social changes. They were okay with Obama bombing countries.

But it doesn't seem like you will be calling your local DMV to verify the information either. Reality is scary huh, kiddo?

t. cityboy pretending like he knows what it's like to live in a rural small town

Nothing. The leftist media in America has been dead for several decades.

Will you admit that it's not a race issue?

and yet it's only liberal urbanites that get butthurt about voter id laws

Obama was against gay marriage when he was elected.

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.

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.

Yea, especially children and foreign tourists.

It is a race issue, in as much as blacks end to vote Democrat.

The liberal viewpoint is anti-rich people everywhere and the conservative is less anti-rich for only people in america.

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

Somehow exponentially poorer people in India all obtain voter ID cards and they bathe in literal filth.

We've already confirmed you're fine with living in ignorance, bragging about it seems beneath you.

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.

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.

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.

You use every argument and buzzword in this video:

youtube.com/watch?v=llDM-44Zb8w

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?

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.

>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

>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

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.

>i've never been to law school but I know exactly how the law works in these cases

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.

Ok, then feel free to prove what I said wrong.

or just continue to spew buzzwords and greentext, w/e

>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.

>Americans actually think it's racist to require ID to vote

This is almost as bad as when I found out about "undocumented immigrants"

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?

There are people who actually believe that the point of voter ID laws is something other than suppressing the votes of poor people?

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.

>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?

You're wrong they are all over academia, even in scientific circles.

Numerous "progressive" European countries which American leftists constantly say they want America to emulate require ID to vote

Are they suppressing the poors' vote?

>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.

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.
