To get a grasp of how deep this problem goes watch to the end of the video. They start out outraged over the outrage at someone exposing an obvious truth: that our political class cares about nothing but staying in power, and policy is seen thru that lens only. No one in power cares how that policy affects the people paying for it and living under it, they just care about it as a vehicle to power.
I can't absolve Bernie of this either; he's neck deep in the problem, contributing to it while he complains about it...but I digress.
Then at the end of the discussion it's back to...strategy, how to win elections. How to maneuver so that their political tribe come out on top. Good thing they have makeup that doesn't run from crocodile tears.
Well, there's the rub. Even someone wanting to work in other's best interest has to win and that either means compromise or marketing yourself as the renegade that is going to keep the rest of them in check. In any case, it is a broad-brush leap to "No one in power cares how that policy affects the people paying for it and living under it." Ultimately all politicians get their positions from a world view of the "right" thing even if they ultimately ignore it to keep and monetise their power.
At this rate we are going to end up with Ghenghis Khan as our next President:

Hell maybe Biden will be able to further Trump's second term agenda better than Trump. I reckon it just takes a double speaker to get things done in today's world:
Call herself racist, well she isn't wrong, she is straight up racist. She just trying to saying all other white people are too. Don't drag me down with you. Holy lack of self awareness, Batman!
Not watching a 45 minute video so I'll Dunning-Kreuger this and assume I know what she's saying.
I think all people are racist on some level. It doesn't mean I deliberately shape my behavior. Deliberately. That I actively check my behavior from time to time is racist and implies racism is a concern. But my brain slots people into categories without my say-so: Names I can't pronounce (ethnicity) or are more than 4 syllables (nationality) or are Cody (hillbilly/hipster or hillbilly-hipster) or seem "made up" (religion) ... If she's saying everyone's brain works like this to some degree, I agree.
That is child play compared to what this woman says.Also what you are saying is a universal human trait and trust me she is not into that.

in the past brink lindsey has spoken about passionate disagreements/debate between their peeps
in any event, i would not have fired will for that foolish comment alone
we all have made them and it will probably happen again
i would have encouraged him to apologize to directly to pence and biden asap
and then apologize to his employer and readers/followers
cancelling someone over silly speech or orwellian wrong think is wrong and maybe even dangerous
jerry taylor should reevaluate this decision
Jerry Taylor should go read his own tweets, take a deep breath, and re-evaluate his purpose at Niskanen. He is driving that organization in ideological circles just when the world needs its perspective most.
Also what you are saying is a universal human trait and trust me she is not into that.
