John Oliver DESTROYS Jill Stein and Gary Johnson.

[Ruprecht]

I don't fact check, yet you make claims without evidence. Priceless.

I was getting the links, having read them before. Look again (the orange words).

He's denouncing them to squeeze votes for Hillary. He doesn't give a shit how crazy they are. It's not like they're going to win. He just wants those votes for Hillary.

Yet again though, it's the left telling voters they're stupid if they vote for anyone but Hillary.

Johnson will steal more votes from Trump than Stein will from Hillary.

 

[Orgasmo]

John Oliver has a huge crush on establishment candidates, and the existing establishment in general. He's like an unfunny Jon Stewart with a Brit accent.

 

[Torrid]

christ you s cry about everything.

I wouldn't presume to know, but I'm pretty sure most lefties think it's impossible for either of the third party supporters to be wooed by Trump.

I agree completely. To most people even slightly Refuting the 9/11 commission report makes you a nonsense tinfoil hat wearing conspiracy theorists who lives in his mother's basement. We also get made fun of for calling them sheep like they are but it's still true. People are too quick to close their minds to any information they deem outside of the realm of possibility

Such people will never come across an original idea or a truth previously unknown to the public. They will merely parrot what has already been narrated by others, and think themselves brilliant for it.

I agree to an extent but part of the reason I supported Sanders was because I actually believe based off of evidence he had the kind of know how to do the things necessary to at least make a solid attempt to enact the plans he was proposing. Gary Johnson is also the person who seems like he genuinely believes some dangerous ideas even if his heart might be in the right place with them.

Competency is a major attribute. But would I vote for a candidate that I deemed more competent than the others, even though I disagreed with much of their policy? Not unless I lived in a dictatorship where the leader's individual qualities are of utmost importance.

I would vote for a buffoon-ish character over a calculated professional, because in a proper democracy you're not truly voting for individuals as much as you're voting for the ideas that they happen to represent. Of course, I would greatly prefer that my ideas were actually being represented well and properly enforced, but sometimes this choice simply does not present itself. Take Trump as an example, I believe a lot of people are voting for him based on the idea that much of his excesses will be ironed out and polished by the system. If he were to be given absolute power, I reckon a lot of people would be less willing to take a chance with him.

Gary Johnson, to me, sounds like a person who hasn't had their ideas put under the fire much. A lot of things seem sensible until they are actually being challenged.

I do not have much interest in such people.

Like many jackasses on this forum

I get what you're saying. To me that was true for Sanders as well. I trust in his judgment enough that he would put the right people in place to help him achieve the things he was setting out to accomplish. However, I don't know if you can even say that Stein or Johnson even show that kind of capability. Gary Johnson's VP is also pretty much a buffoon and I admittedly don't know a whole lot about Jill Stein's VP pick other than that he's a black guy and was an activist of some sort.

Well you get points for watching it unlike some of these fools.

 

[ehtheist]

Actually, I think this idiot attacking them actually adds to their credibility.

Based on what I've read on those two, I probably wouldn't be voting for them either. I was merely making the point that Johnson or Stein coming off as buffoon-ish shouldn't automatically eliminate them from the competition. But there's obviously a lot more going against them than their individual short-comings.

Looks to me like he's was recruited for a gig and being used by the Clinton foundation. Am I missing something?

Yeah. Getting a bunch of celebrities to open your event with music and comedy skits doesn't make them "shills". Especially when they don't end up doing it.
Hence why CTers leave these emails out and just post the vaguest one saying, "we've made contact" and "his team are working on it". Implying there's something else going on.

 

[Fluffernutter]

I lean to the left. I have friends, extended family, and co-workers that lean to the right. I even come in contact with Trump supporters throughout my day.

At no point do I think people who I disagree with politically are less of a person than me. At no point do I consider those who disagree with me politically idiots.

I agree with John Oliver on many issues. However, his shtick is to demean those he disagrees with.

The right likes to point out that the left are a bunch of elitist thumbing their nose at the rest of the peons of society. Oliver is an example of this.

Oliver, Maher, Stewart, Colbert and Maddow, all much the same. Usually not my idea of entertainment.

Usually, employees tend to tow the company line.

3rd party contractors for a single event? I wouldn't think so (did you watch this video? It's not like he had a positive appraisal of Hillary). Especialy since they didn't end up getting him to do it.
Just a small detail which infowars/prison planet and it's CT faithful didn't think was important...

 

[Fluffernutter]

Political commentary on TV has become the human form of the yahoo comments section.

 

[Shaungotti]

He isn't funny, and his show is the same over and over. Don't watch it any more. He also seems to be shilling hard for Hillary, by constantly trying to shit on Trump.

His whole show boils down to:

"[insert crappy joke], ok but serious now [insert topic], unlike Janet from accounting who [something annoying that happens at a work place], but back to [topic] which by the way is the same as [insert another unfunny joke]."

Rinse and repeat and you got his show.

Lol that's actually an accurate breakdown of his monologue.

And Janet is totally a name that he'd use too. Haha
