Idk, I'm so tired of NewYorker-style liberal's attempt at humor about other political groups. It's disrespectful because they don't show that they've attempted to actually think about the issues, they're just knee-jerking with their emotions. Their treatment of Trump is similarly ridiculous. They're just waving their blueTribe flag as hard as they can.

And when liberals talk about Ayn Rand? It's like she's the worst depraved demon ever. But if you read some of her quotes, they're kind of motivational. Sure it can be a little too selfish, but I know a lot of people who would benefit if they internalized that THEY are the main driver in their own lives, rather than playing victim their whole life. http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/432.Ayn_Rand “If you don't know, the thing to do is not to get scared, but to learn.”

I've been watching the Rubin Report b/c Dave Rubin is a liberal that will actually fucking sit down and talk it out with someone on the otherside. Great show. https://www.youtube.com/user/RubinReport

"I'm so tired of NewYorker-style liberal's attempt at humor about other political groups."

Too soon?

From Rubin's wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Rubin

"regressive left"

The regressive what? According to Rubin, there's a bunch of liberals defending atrocities done in the name of Islam.

I'm just about the most left-wing person I know, very involved in politics, and no one I've met is an apologist for haters.

Edit: Okay. I had to watch a Rubin episode, just in case. Because you know, he might not be a whackjob. Chosen randomly:

Julie Lenarz and Dave Rubin: Brussels, Terrorism, Immigration Crisis (Full Interview) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLfxJPJDzMo

I stopped at 1:20 when he stated that many on the far-left endorse terrorism. Which is apparently the intellectual equivalent of when conservatives paint all Muslims as terrorists.

No worries. Just added Rubin to my ever growing twit filter. Thanks for the tip.

The author of that article seems willing to be sarcastic about anything.

I have to say I quite enjoy that writing style.
