      “I only care when viewpoints I agree with are censored”

      I don’t know if that’s what you meant to say but that’s how it reads

      To be fair, regardless of what you think of Kimmel or Colbert - actual leftists don’t have enough of an audience to justify the administration wasting time on them. So they don’t.

        Exactly. You don’t get that level of access unless you are complicit in this system, like Kimmel and Colbert.

          I mean even on ‘alternative media’ there are really not many self-made individual leftists with wide viewership. I suppose my other point is that it is still a problem when the government also tries to censor people who are not leftists.

            It’s just ironic considering Colbert and Kimmel themselves have censored leftists throughout their careers. They themselves are part of this threat you’re speaking of…

              How did they censor leftists? With the power of the government behind them?

                Brother, Kimmel had his security assault numerous Pro-Palestine advocates at his show during a Kamala Harris taping…

                Colbert is literally on the DNC payroll. You think that Mamdani interview wasn’t coordinated?

                  Can I see the context of this assault?

                  Not sure what Colbert being on the DNC payroll or a gotcha interview with Mamdani has to do with censorship.

      Are you a ‘real leftist’ who would rather attack liberals for not being not left enough before attacking conservatives?

      Or are you a right wing plant here to sow political division among the American left?

      Horseshoe theory strikes again.

        Yes. That’s what leftists do. Haven’t you been paying attention?

        Liberalism is a conservative ideology. There is no “left enough” as they are not leftists. This is not a secret. Read theory.

          Liberalism is a stepping stone to socialism.

          You cannot institute change by expecting people to radically change their ideologies overnight. It happens bit by bit, through actionable steps, not condescension and anger.

          Ask yourself this, do you truly want people to become more progressive, or do you just want to feel morally superior by yelling at people who don’t meet your standards?

          American liberals are just trying to do the bare minimum of fighting fascism, and even that is a monumental task. Political infighting in the American left only helps conservatives. By the time you are done yelling at liberals, there will no longer be a country that has any shot at adopting ‘real leftist’ ideologies.

            An ideology that is pro-capitalism cannot be a stepping stone toward socialism. That doesn’t make any sense, and Liberals have literally opposed socialism at every step. Please read theory. This has already been debated and settled a long time ago. Socialism is only achieved by a violent overthrow of the ruling class. A class that liberalism is designed to protect.

      They should invite Nick Fuentes on to have him discuss what other right wing heads will be exploded by his basement troll army. Maybe the hosts can explore why the right keeps killing the right.
