      Ah yes, one of the most milquetoast stances possible. What’s next? Is he going to take a brave stance like childhood cancer is bad and raising children is good?

      Maybe he’ll hold another Rally to Restore Sanity, telling the left they’re just as bad as the right and that they need to compromise with Republicans more and be nicer to bigots.

        Are you kidding? People are literally alive that wouldn’t have been because he fought tooth and nail to get those people health care.

        Are things only worth doing if they’re “extreme” in your mind? Fucking brain rot.

          I said the guy is milquetoast and refuses to take real stances on much of anything and the rebuttal is to say he once stood for an incredibly safe and uncontroversial thing, which does not disprove my point.

          To be a politician, you have to actually stand for something and come up with a platform of policies you’d enact at the risk of alienating people. Every time people ask him what he would do on a topic he’s criticizing, he always dodges the question. He’s a political coward that has far more in common with Chuck Schumer than any of you people downvoting me want to admit.

            I just backed up another person’s example. I’m not going to waste my time listing all of his stances.

            Why would you watch him for 25 years if you hate him so much?

            I’ve been listening to his weekly podcast (it’s good), and maybe it’s a product of having longer conversations, but it is very clear to me that you’re wrong.

              You can be friends with someone and recognize they’d be terrible to live with.

              He’s good as a comedian who criticizes politics, which, to be fair to him, is all he seems to want to be.
