Lol, he’s not even close to right of center. Yeah, he has a couple strange views like being anti bread, but he is definitely a liberal. We have to stop this purity test bullshit on the left.
I always hear this, but it doesn’t make sense to me. To me it sounds like we define liberals differently. What specific stances make a liberal right of center? I would like to know we’re defining the word the same way.
I’ve thought of it this way, a liberal is a master being giving liberally the treats they shower their workers with to keep them happy and productive. A leftist believes in the class consciousness struggle and that human rights are innate and not something handed down from masters.
You weren’t even the person I was originally asking the question of. You went out of your way to give an answer that didn’t answer my question, and then you get upset at me for what you did?
I haven’t listened to him recently but his anti-woke stuff is unbearable to get through. That being said, he really defended Biden against Trump on the JRE podcast. At least from the clip I’ve seen, saying Trump is both crazy and stupid.
He was also constantly asking anyone who would listen what we would do if Trump refused to step down. Everyone laughed at him, and then Trump incited an insurrection.
He is openly anti-Arab to the point where he sided with Jewish extremists despite claiming to hate “all” religion. His black guests have called him out on his dumb stereotypical views and he used the N word on his show. Just because he claims to be a liberal doesn’t mean he gets a pass on genuine bigotry.
He wanted to ban Syrian refugees from the “West” by stating that “their cultures are not like ours.” He said “talk to anyone who ever dated an Arab, it’s not pretty.” That’s grossly racist, in addition to comments like they’re “bringing that desert stuff to our world,” and uncivilized.

Liberals are right of center. America is almost the only place on the Earth where liberalism is considered left wing.
In Australia our conservative party is called the Liberal Party.
I wonder if these are people from outside of the US referring to what we call libertarians.
But anyway, the “left” in the US is certainly no where near as left as the left in say European countries.

That wasn’t anything specific at all.
Then Google it. I gave you an overview of the two political philosophies. It’s not my job to educate you if you don’t like the answers you get.

They defend corporate rights instead of worker rights, as an example.
Endorsement of capitalism, for starters.
Being anti-union sounds pretty right wing to me.
Being pro giving his employees a paycheck is not anti union.
Yeah, and I’m sure that GM just want to give their employees a paycheck and are not anti-union either, right?
That’s not even close to the same thing and you know that.

Bullshit. Lots of people were saying that all the way back to 2016 when he called that election illegitimate.
Okay not literally everyone, but definitely the majority of his guests and definitely the politicians.
A liberal bashing minorities? Come on. He’s left on some issues and right on others, but then again so is Bill O’Reilly.
He doesn’t bash minorities…

His black guests have called him out on his dumb stereotypical views and he used the N word on his show. Just because he claims to be a liberal doesn’t mean he gets a pass on genuine bigotry.
He is anti Islam not anti Arab. That’s an important distinction.
He’s both.
He wanted to ban Syrian refugees from the “West” by stating that “their cultures are not like ours.” He said “talk to anyone who ever dated an Arab, it’s not pretty.” That’s grossly racist, in addition to comments like they’re “bringing that desert stuff to our world,” and uncivilized.
