Comment on Jon Stewart Interrogates America's Support of Israel & 2024 Solar Eclipse Mania

I think you are using "leftists" to mean something very different from what I mean when I say it.

He fought to communicate issues of racial justice and anti-corporate truth in media for years and years, then he quit broadcasting to take care of injured animals. He came back to politics to fight for justice for workers with health issues. He is now returning again, currently to go on a nationally syndicated platform and make a compelling case with receipts, aimed at the mainstream, for why the continued murder of the Palestinians is a horrifying crime and why it can be laid directly at the feet of the Biden administration.

What would you prefer him to do that's better than that? Train for combat and go and kill Netanyahu with his bare hands?

You know his career has been going on for longer than just the past year right? People can do good and bad things and people dislike him for doing bad things for the last 20 years.

He was shitting on Bernie sanders and has always supported right wing democrats and have hamstrung leftist in this country for a long time.

And democrats aren’t fucking leftist, if your party is pro Capitalism then it’s a right wing party.

  Yes, which is why I brought up his furious early-BLM-days coverage of police shootings, back before it was a mainstream position, and his resignation from Comedy Central and his activism for the 9/11 firefighters and the other stuff he did like 5-10 years ago.

  Sure. What bad stuff has he done, to counterbalance the stuff I'm talking about which puts him in the 99th percentile of people who are in the public eye in any capacity talking about politics?

  Agreed. This is literally the only sentence of your message that's not coming from some bizarro world.
