I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

Yeah, it used to be really bad IMO. I don't know how he is now but what drove me away was a) the subject matter deteriorated very badly, and b) the way he sensationalized every single little event was just too phony for me. It was so obvious that it was an act to get you overly hyped about what he was talking about and to get you to stay on his channel. And if I'm being 💯, I kinda just don't like the way he talks, on top of the other things.

I guess I'm too old by now? I just want straight facts given to me straight. The facts of the world are sensational/upsetting enough as they are without needing a hype man. It just becomes too much, and absurd.

Having said that, I do like a bit of quality humor mixed in with some news and criticism, like Jon Stewart on The Daily Show. That shit is fire. 😆
