Before reading your post and only seeing the video, I thought for a hot second that this was Jimmy Dore.

Morality does not need to be blanket statements of black and white. Arguably, a good moral system cannot be.
For example, on the intervention issue: a person may say “I’m opposed to all intervention, ever, no matter what.”
But if you give them the hypothetical of “a war is going on between two powers with WMDs. The US can intervene, if it does it is guaranteed to win. If it doesn’t, the powers are guaranteed to use the WMDs, and wipe out human life.”
all the sudden the question gets more complicated, and universal maxims break down.
This is an issue that many other moral systems based on universal rules or maxims face. A good example is Kant’s categorical imperative. It says, among other things, you can never lie. But then you say “You’re sheltering a person from their abusive spouse, who just tried to kill them. The spouse comes to your door with an axe and asks if you’ve seen their spouse. Do you lie?” and the system begins to breakdown. Same thing with Utilitarianism and the Utility monster.
A robust moral system must address the edge cases and gray zones of human existence, and this will require exceptions to otherwise general rules. Otherwise it allows for farcical results.

I know I shouldn't be surprised but I am surprised they're making jokes about an easily proven lie. Uhh fact check??? Hello???
Glad I'm not the only one that got major Howard Dean vibes from Walz.

The sitting Vice President Aaron Burr killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel right near where the Lincoln Tunnel is today.
We have an illustrious history of political shitposting.

Dems are trying to shame blacks into vooooting for walz, he don’t like it because walz lets immigrants in.

Please tell me you don't consider this modern shitshow of thin-skinned prima donnas as any how comparable. Parody, maybe...

No, it's an embarrassing facsimile, but I believe that Trump takes it to the level of homage.

Waiting to see if that total sack of shit grifter Cori Bush gets primaried.
On another subject, have been following elections since 1964, but this election year takes the craziness cake, with the exception of 1968.
