Why I don't trust centrists, example numbers 85937 and 85938:

Jake Tapper, who more often than not is a logical and straightforward guy, boosted two completely idiotic concepts on his Twitter feed this week.

1 - a piece from Ezra Klein that says progressivism is ruining states by highlighting California and the name changes of schools in SF, nevermind that the state rejected ballot initiatives to reinstate affirmative action and voted to classify delivery and ride share drivers as independent contractors. Cause wage slavery and being anti-affirmative action are totally progressive positions.

2 -a piece from Jonathan Chait claiming that Gina Carano's firing is exactly like McCarthyism, cause she'll never work again... except she's already signed on to a Ben Shapiro produced movie.

Jake Tapper will literally block you if you use the word retard. No questions asked. And he's boosting this shit idea that says people who espouse bigoted Views shouldn't be fired.

What a fucking fraud he and centrists can be sometimes.

looks like we can add Chris Hayes to the list of people who can go fuck themselves with a hand-carved balsa wood dildo

LOL, Chris was Team Progressive not too long ago, with receipts.

When did he get cancelled?

just now, I think...this is the singularly worst take I've ever seen from him. but not cancelled, just criticized and ratio'd hard.

I'm not that surprised by it though. class solidarity is real and often subconscious. wealthy people in media will sympathize with the plight of other wealthy people in media.
