    He is so stupid and egotistical, he couldn’t understand Trump is a narcissist who used flattery on him.

    He just continues to prove that “centrism” in the US seems to be mostly about huffing your own farts, telling yourself you are so great and still just basically aligning with the right wing.

      You’d like Trump too if you hung out with him. Narcissists have top tier charm and social skills.

      Is centrism being critical of both the left and the right and all their stupidity?

        Peak centrist to beg the question about ““BoTh SiDeS”” just after saying they would fall for the ‘charms’ of a dipshit demented rapist.

          so in your opinion centrism isn’t valid, and anyone who has opinions that aren’t totally one sided is what… an idiot ?

          do you also not socialize with people you don’t like? must be nice. most of us have to work/get along with people we don’t like in daily life.

            If in the currently political climate, you find yourself between democrats and republicans, you’re at the very best ignorant and lost. If you the type to fall for trump, you’re an idiot. I guess pick your problems.

              ok so vote for third parties?

              fwiw Bill identifies as an independent.

              so in your opinion centrism isn’t valid, and anyone who has opinions that aren’t totally one sided is what… an idiot ?

      Perhaps maybe we shouldn’t work towards a system of rugged individuality and isolation. Perhaps capitalism has failed us by coercing us to believe living alone is an ideal worth chasing.

      I won’t pretend life is good for many, but perhaps living alone shouldn’t be the metric for success

    Maher pointed to the paradox of contemporary economic life: millions of people attending expensive concerts and seemingly living comfortable lifestyles, while others struggle

    The top 10% of US consumers are doing almost 50% of the consumer spending lol. The economy is an upside down house of cards
