Bill Maher: New Rule, The Danger of False Equivalency

[betsuni]

Politicians who say something at least somewhat false: Hillary Clinton %27, Bernie Sanders %28, Donald Trump %71.

"I'm tired of hearing: 'I know Trump's a creep, but Hillary doesn't seem genuine.' Grow the fuck up. She's a civil servant, not a craft beer. ... People who like to say, 'They're all bad,' say 'They're all the same,' and can sound justifiably jaded by the entire process, when in reality you just don't know anything."

2. Ignorant false equivalency

is one of the reasons we don't have a progressive majority in Congress and in State government. We've got to get out the vote in all elections. Midterm and State and local elections are so important.

3. Lazy people.

4. I've always hated the "they're all the same"

Not because I think Dems are better (they are) but because they are HUMAN BEINGS they can't be the same.

Wow I was really channeling Bill Maher there.

5. They're lazy and ignorant! Some of the young people I know have VAST knowledge about SHOES

but they don't give a damn about, as Bill said, who runs the White House and influences tons of policies and directs the country.

This video is really really excellent because it references a lot of young people things, like EDM (Elec dance music), Colin Kaepernick's protest, Bernie, and their claim that politicians are all the same...

Literally do not be afraid to SEND this to your younger family and friends!

I am encouraging my friend with lots of FB friends who never says anything political but yells to me about all the Hillary hate that fills his feed from the Trump lovers. Well, do something, please! I think my friend will probably post this, as Maher's a favorite!

6. Just got home from making GOTV calls for Hillary.

One man complained "What choice do I have? Trump's crazy, BUT Hillary should be in jail! Then he went on a rave about "emails and Benghazi, etc." It was hard to politely get in a word edgewise or disengage from the call.
