  I’m curious, what’s the issue you have with him? I’ve only seen him vocal about the writer strikes lately and his message was fine.

    He was very critical of the DNC candidates during the election. Saying he wasn’t pro-union and talking about how unfit Biden is for office, etc. He also seemed to be very critical of socialism in the USA. He seems to take a controversial stance on every possible subject, possibly just to promote his podcasts and live shows.

    He comes off as one of those people who doesn’t want anybody on the left to win, but he just doesn’t support the right, either.

      Sonce when being critical of DNC == “A lot of disinformation”?

        When the GOP adopted anti-intellectualism.

      He’s literally on the board of a union and everything I’ve seen him say is very pro union, I think you may be taking something out of context.

        Connover said Biden wasn’t pro-union.

      When was he critical of socialism? I saw him once interview a socialist who said socialism in the USA was on life-support. That’s all I could find.

        Exactly. His defeatism was criticism. His alarmism was dissuation.

        Look, I’m not labelling him the enemy or anything, but I just don’t like the guy.

      Biden wasn’t pro-union, and he was unfit for office. Sounds like Conover was absolutely right

    Go watch a clip from when he went on Joe Rogan and dismally failed at supporting and explaining trans issues.

    He is a moron who acts like he has the moral high ground by default, but can’t actually formulate an argument.

    He’s a smug, overconfident blowhard.

    He is the stereotype of the privileged, limousine liberal know it all.

    His heart may be in the right place, but his mind isn’t up to the task.

  disinformation??? that’s quite a claim

    Literally the only thing I can find is an opinion piece about his electric vehicle video.

    Notably, Electrek offered discount codes for Teslas around the time the article was published, giving them a massive incentive to lie about Conover’s credibility

  Completely disagree. His podcasts are stellar. I understand people might not like his monologues, but other than that, bunching him with the “world is flat” people is far-right moronism.
