    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.
