6:26 Maybe you don’t change minds but you teach us how to mock the other side which I think is very powerful. Bare minimum it makes me feel better. 😂

Saying the US government is a pillar of stability is the funniest lie ever

It will always befuddle me why Democrats are always trying to get Republicans to vote for them, instead of focusing on getting Democrats to vote for Democrats. The brains of the party's establishment are hopelessly broken, and stuck on thinking this is still the sixties.

It's why I have a real frustration with how a lot of people treated the Obama era rhetoric. "When they go low, we go high!" And? What do they do? "The arc of a moral universe arcs towards justice…" Great. How? And finding out that it takes a fight and work and effort against an actual opposition was a bit too much for some folks.

You can't reason with fear. You can give these people everything they ever wanted and it wouldn't be enough because fear is at the core of their world view. That's why we have to be the adults in the room.

6:19 is the same reason we don't have a school teach, a garbage person, a pick the job that isnt lawyer, business , or legacy family. AOC was a Bartender, your life would be 1000 times harder yes, but would Josh Johnson be a good leader put the time in. well its why leader shouldn't run for power nd someone else should get to put their name in not them. or Jon Stewart would have already been president. just like Regan or Trump both actor or reality tv star the voice is more then the idea , the Person doesn't want it because they want the freedom they have nd not the responcibility.

This mythologizing about Obama has got to stop. He was a lib at its worst, a war criminal that annihilated whole families and babies with drone strikes, while giving the working class a carrot and repeatedly pulling it just out of reach. Was literally just a black George W.

0:47 this kinda glosses over a huge portion of the populace who were permanently cut out of sharing in the success in this country for the past 60 yrs. "you can't have it all tomorrow", for 60 yrs. Ergo Trump.

Obama is everything Trump is not, and its all good, so good, in fact, that Trump is orange with jealousy.

It's so artificial. The whole platform and idea of "maga gop vs libs". It's been a GOP shtick since the 70s at least they're all about "sticking it to the libs". They hide behind this BS while they do ghoulish things they pretend doesn't hurt their own. Yet even "their own" have been brainwashed it's totally cool to hurt your peers as long as your peer is part of the club you don't like. A great majority of even the criticisms of "the libs" are their own manufactured lies, strawmen, red herrings, etc.

Can't be the right, you can't convince a hard head you can help with out extending your hand. If the left doesn't you give the oligarchs a bigger army. Not thing of value gets made quick, stop the money, contain tribalism better future.

Dems showed their true colors and its red (gold if you think about it). Everyone I like is considered radical for wanting health care, justice education, and maybe taking care of the environment a little.
I'm unrepresented yet still support them.

For all the bureaucracy and bloat, frankly, a lot of government work is kind of like a sound engineer at a concert. For most people, they only notice if something goes wrong.
People don’t actively notice the results of their water department, they don’t actively notice medical research, they don’t actively notice food inspection or flight safety regulations or chemical disposal laws.
So people start thinking hey, what’s the worst that can happen if we send a wrecking ball into the government? Yeah, it turns out quite a lot…

The Centrist Wing of the Democratic Party KNOWS exactly what their voters want. They have the data.
The problem is, what their voters want goes directly against what their donors/owners want.
So they're spending millions of $$$s on consultants to figure out how to tell better lies.

People forget we never get the perfect candidate and between the choices we have to determine the least worst leader. HRC was not a perfect candidate nor was Harris but comparatively…

A large percentage of us liberals will pretend they don’t think transitioning kids willy nilly is wrong, which is lying. To pretend only one side lies is either idiotic or a lie in itself. Does Josh think Carmelo was justified? That a shove is enough to justify stabbing someone? Would he feel different if the skin suits were swapped? Would this be an example of when dems need to lie? Least funny blocks.

Thank you Neil and Dulcé Sloan for the fashion and signature hairstyle, respectively! You "She's All That"-ed Josh so more people will hear his excellent points!

Life was NOT easy under Obama. We on the Left need to reckon with how Obama mishandled a massive economic collapse and oversaw a gigantic give away to banks while average Americans suffered….it was a miserable time.

😂……….. one of the reasons I voted for President Trump, was to watch and listen to liberals seethe and sweat and cry and crash out. It’s glorious. 🍻😆

Abandon the RNC and DNC and we might not always be voting for the lesser of two evils. The democrats and republicans are to blame for what we deal with now. It wasn’t left wing extremism. It wasn’t MAGA. Divide and conquer has never worked better.

If you want to improve things you can start by using the word "like" correctly. Be a champion for the spoken language instead of supporting it's destruction through laziness. Every time you say "I was like" or "they were all like" or "like, like, like" you are contributing to the dumbing down of society.

One of the reasons Liberals don’t lie like MAGA is because they never had to, they have the truth on their side.
Dealing with MAGA is acknowledging Americans don’t really care about the truth, but rather what makes them feel good.
It’s vibe-based politics, how we counter it is with aggression, not bending to the whim of whatever fake shit Trump and his sheep feel like amplifying that week
