      I don’t watch Bill Maher anymore. He lost me when he was spreading misinformation about covid and masks. Now his is letting right wing liars come on his show to lie. And he is ok with that.

      Naw. They are conflating anti Zionism and anti semitism, just like the Dems do . From that lens their is plenty of leftists that fit that shaped mold.

      He’s a brogressive. Talks about how bad the Democrats are and that they need to stop all the “woke” stuff. He’s the type of person to say “oh it was just economic anxiety that led people to vote for Trump”

    On that same show, Jordan lobster Peterson was allowed to wax poetic on his notions of foreign policy analysis and weird notions about sexual freedoms. As bad as the interview with Cruz was, listening to Jordan was probably even worse. Good lord, every time I see that guy speak, I am always agog at how incels worship him. What the actual fuck?

      And he struggled to win in the previous off-year elections, which typically have less turnout. He won’t have the protection of less voter turnout this time, and there’s been a lot of political momentum against the GOP in the last several elections.

    As usual, Ted Cruz is lying. Not wrong: he knows almost all antisemitism comes from the right. Remember Charlottesville? Ted Cruz lies constantly.

      Ted Cruz absolutely is a lying bigoted piece of shit. But racism and antisemitism absolutely comes from both sides of the aisle in large quantity. If you were to say it’s more accepted on the right I’d agree, but bigotry of all types is plenty rampant on the left.

    What was even the point of this article? It was 4 paragraphs of nothing. Just quote Cruz nonsense. No fact checking against his claims.
