    The same Jon Stewart who spent most of the last year bashing Biden and democrats instead of warning about Trump 2.0 and possibly contributed to voter apathy, that one?

      He has moral principles and he sticks to them. That’s what is meant by the ‘moral high ground.’ Early in his career he was invited on a CNN political propaganda show called ‘Crossfire,’ and his evisceration of Tucker Carlson on that show went viral and lead directly to its cancellation. The legendary video is still available if you search “Jon Stewart on Crossfire” and you can infer his moral code from his pleas to the hosts. Still refusing to play propagandist for any political party 20 years later is evidence his principles have not changed.

      Yes, that Jon Stewart.

          How did that work out in the long run? I don’t know, but I hope somewhere in that long run you’ll look back on all of these comments you’ve made and cringe.

              Flat-earthers share your self-importance as they also treat their outsider status as evidence of their social value. But one can’t take a step in sites like Reddit without having to scrape centrist ‘contrarians’ like you off the bottom of their shoe.

              Your ‘perspective’ (i.e. criticism from the left is the real reason centrists are losing ground to fascism) is much too common on the large dying media sites to not have been considered, and bringing clearly uninspired and bad ideas to this new platform means you deserve all of the downvotes you receive.
