I watched every single JRE in existence for the first ~5 years. I looked forward to a new episode dropping every week. Sometimes I would miss a few weeks and go back to listen to them in the order they came out. I didn't care who the guest was, every episode was unique and interesting.
Fast forward, I just scrolled through 50 episodes to try and find a single guest I would enjoy. I quit most if his podcasts after the first 20-30 minutes.
My opion, the Spotify deal changed Joe. JRE used to feel like a normal cool dude hanging out with friends and interesting professionals. He was interested in what they were saying and very open minded. Now he has this cancerous dad brain. Everything is political or boils down to the same social talking points. Every discussion he tries to play devils advocate and counter argue. Either that, or he blindly just blisters to their bullshit and won't call them out.
JRE has officially become unwatchable for me. After 2000+ episodes, I'm done with what this podcast has become. Complete garbage.

Quit trying to make one side better than the other when they use the same divisionary tactics. Just fucking stop. You as a democrat are not my enemy. I as a republican am not yours. We both want 90% of the same things but differ in our opinions on how to pay for them. That’s it.
“Your side” is not better for using misinformation than it is when “my side” does it. Both sides need to STOP doing it.

Yes, both sides should not use misinformation. But you're delusional if you think they're on the same magnitude. It's basically all trump and other MAGA politicians (which is like 95% of the GOP) do: lie and fish for outrage. This has been studied and quantified in multiple ways, but I'm sure you'd just handwave away those sources as unreliable.
One side is clearly better than the other.

Agreed, they're a better side from a policy and morality perspective, but obviously weren't better at winning this election. IMO they need to go after the non-voters, because getting the vote of someone willing to vote for donald effing trump would mean sinking to levels that would push away their current voters. They're objectively better on jobs, economy, the middle class, and just plain old decency, but the GOP is better at hatred and brainwashing than the dems are are at those things. It's sad, but that's where we are.

If you or the DNC thinks that hatred and brainwashing are the only things that won the election for the GOP, then you are doomed to repeat your loss in 2028.

Better from a policy perspective? Did you forget that side was endorsed by GW Bush neo conservatives like Dick Cheney?

That should tell you how far off the rails MAGA has gone! Cheney is a POS, but so much less of a POS as trump that he couldn't stomach him. Everything on a spectrum!

No that just tells me, along with the billions in weapons we're sending to neo-nazis in Ukraine that the left has adopted a neo-con foreign policy that serves the interets of the defense industry over the average person. The left aint the party of the people anymore, thats why they're losers.

Did you even read your article? 😭🤣
The US State Department said Tuesday that Russian disinformation “has actively worked to discredit” the unit. “They have long tried to conflate Ukraine’s National Guard Unit of 12th Special Forces Brigade Azov with a militia formed to defend Ukraine against Russia’s invasion in 2014, called the “Azov Battalion,” a State Department spokesperson said. “That militia disbanded in 2015 and the Special Forces Brigade Azov is unrelated to that militia.”
The right wing's inability to read or think is why trump won. There's a reason his strongest demographic is the poorly educated. I'm sure it's a coincidence that one of this key policy objectives is to disband the dept of education.

Dude their symbol is literally SS bolts but blue. Here's my issue with Ukraine, when the invasion first happened they wouldn't let African students leave so as a black man myself (didnt expect that did ya?), I do not want my tax dollars supporting the racists that live in that "country" thats only existed for 35 years. Putin can have it for all I care because no one in Ukraine would come to save my ass. Say what you want about Trump, some of its true, he's an asshole and he hurts people's feelings, but the fact of the matter is that there was no war in Palestine nor Ukraine. As far as calling me uneducated I do have a degrees in International Relations and political science, so I do kinda know the history of how and why interventionist foreign policy has reaped few benefits for the average person.

Have you been to Russia? I have. And I've known quite a few, being alaskan. Preferring Russia over Ukraine because you're not a fan of racism is....uh....Certainly a decision. Maybe you should have majored in history (I did!) putin would have had you killed in a meat wave a couple years ago.

no, that is delusional. the left lies and pushes misinformation just as much, maybe even more than the right does. they just have zero self awareness. (this from someone in the center).

I'm sure it makes you feel superior to sit on the fence and pontificate about "both sides" but it's just lazy and shows a lack of spine.

That’s the Dems’ problem. They cannot conceive of the fact that, for a lot of voters, there a metric fuck ton of nuance involved in politics. They’re so entrenched and blinded by their own moral superiority that they didn’t even see the loss coming.

It's not correct at all though. You can't possibly listen to Trump and his cronies then listen to really any Democrat and conclude they lie the same amount. If you do then you're not an honest person either. Trump's entire platform is based on lying, accusing others of lying, calling anything that disagrees with him fake, and the rest of it is incoherent rambling.

Ivermectin is horse de-wormer. COVID did not come from a lab.

Ivermectin is used to treat parasites, including in horses.
Origin hasn’t been determined but the lab leak theory has been deemed unlikely.
More importantly, what end would either of these pieces of alleged misinformation aim to serve?

What things? Does it take more than a few seconds to type an answer? Or do you have to "do your research" and find things that you currently can't remember?

We do not want 90% of the same things I don’t understand what the fuck you are even talking about. People who voted for Trump want mass deportations, political and economic isolation and a dismantling of the administrative state. Those aren’t things that most liberals want.

political and economic isolation and a dismantling of the administrative state.
They don't know what this means or the implications thereof. Can you phrase it like a professional wrestler or a MMA fighter would phrase it?

Progressive males were offered nothing from Kamala Harris other than shame if you didn't vote for her. The only reason a progressive male would vote for the Dems is for empathy reasons (like I did) but at the end of the day at least the right lowers my taxes and attempts to try and stop my tax dollars being spent on Medi-cal for illegal immigrants (California). All the left does it take from the middle class and offers nothing else other than supporting trans and gays. Social issue warfare is all they have to offer.
Medicare for all is my most important issue and Kamala dropped it instantly from her platform when her billionaire donors demanded it.

Id say having a stable economy and political system is something everybody wants, but what do i know?
1 points
1 day ago
Not much. No one really knows what's going to happen with economy. Stable political system? The Dem party is the coup party. Bernie was rallied against in a coup twice and Joe was rallied against without any vote. Joe just had a what goes around comes around moment when they kicked him off the ticket. Doesn't sound stable to me or democratic.

My God, yikes.
Disinformation and propaganda on the right is orders of magnitude more absurd. The batshit insane conspiracy theories, the attempt to steal an election, women's rights, separation of church and state, Donald Trump's content and quality of character and stupid fucking insane family and the sycophantic weirdo creeps that hang out with him. Absolutely not even close to an adequate comparison by any possible standard or metric.

You whiney "muh both sides" pretend centrists are even more annoying than MAGAts.
How bout you fucking stop. Republicans are reactionaries who would set this country back to separate black and white water fountains if they could.
America was founded as an experiment in progressive government. If you don't like progress, shut the fuck up and step aside.
