But when you do fail to convince anyone, it won't be because you're wrong, that's for sure.

now that the national election has been certified and the georgia election runoff is complete

does this mean we should lock this thread now?

voter fraud claims should go under the Donald Trump thread, methinks

outside of that what else does this thread offer now

other than an opportunity for burt and mickey to get banned

ex-post election analysis is overrated

I like how he thinks Samantha Bee (and Trevor Noah, and Stephen Colbert, and John Oliver, and.........) isn't part of the attack on workers. But center-left neoliberal propagandists don't count!

I don't think that pointing out that corporate-sponsored late-night hosts aren't fellow travelers is a "gotcha" moment.

Noting that late-night talk shows are in fact hindering the advancement of a traditionally left-wing project is an airtight argument for the right being the true underdog. Great work Burt.

By all means, carry on being intensely yet vaguely aggrieved at some nebulous culture industry you nonetheless admit is advancing a fundamentally right-wing agenda.

But rest assured I think Samantha Bee is a drop in the ocean. Certainly a part, but hardly worth mentioning. Which is why you mentioned her.

Sure, same thing. You're a fundamentally unserious person so it's by far the best use of my time.

Burt - for the record I agree with this.

But also conspiracy theories and myths and racism and poor education.

Late night comedians are fine. Trumpers are just so easy to make fun of.

Unfortunately right wing comedians aren’t funny. They’re just Sean hannity
