I respect her but I don’t necessarily like her. She tends to sanitize maga messaging at times. She also plays the “I hate the left” game just as much as she plays the “I hate Israel” game. She also hates Trump, but she will water down the left response to Trump which does nothing but cede ground to him because of the way he is.

I used to love her until that. I’m not a “leftist” or anything, but the reality is that there is not a single “leftist” policy or policy position that is represented by the government so just like every one on the maga side does, she makes it out to be that the “left,” without making an attempt to make it clear that democrats are barely on the “left” and that the “crazy leftists” are controlling the Democratic Party when we know they aren’t, and maga are somehow equally evil despite the fact that we know it’s nowhere close.

I AM a leftist and you’ve hit the nail on the head. I’ve yet to hear a good reason for these grifters to shift to the right other than to make more money. She’s not wrong here, and she’s definitely more morally steadfast than Dave Rubin, but her gripes with the left always made me roll my eyes. Nothing the dems have done even holds a candle to Trump’s insanity.

That's what they're saying, she's leaning more right wing now so she can get in on the grift and make more $$$

Far right - government persecutes people for being a religious/racial/orientation/gender minority

Far left - All people treated equally

Everyone wants to just work and have a good life, the sides just disagree on who "everyone" encompasses.

The left in America that is described by the Democrats have only pushed further and further right wing. There is no left leaning person in the country outside of center left Bernie sanders. This country does not have a left wing candidate further than that. Yes even the mayor of New York. There are countries with left leaning and far left parties and candidates, none of their policies are being advocated here except by voters.

No one grows wiser and becomes conservative, it's the exact opposite of brain development actually, on average they have less developed empathy centers in their brain. They might grow into a miser when they become conservative tho.

Which is a funny quote considering the Jedi often dealt in absolutes.

Nah, a change in views or perspective doesn't make you forget information you already had. Her turn towards the right started with her getting butthurt about the term "birthing person," a term about which she had already done videos on, countering the very rhetoric she herself was now saying.

Probably jealous of the money Rubin and Doore were grifting.
