Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

You just have to listen to his "status quo" interviews to see where Jeffries falls. The one he did with Jon Stewart on his Weekly Show podcast .. I was just disgusted. And disgusted Jon didn't come down on him like a sack of hammers. I love Jon but that was sad.
Yeah, I was quite literally shouting in the car by myself listening to that one. Felt like he was saying the quiet part out loud, they just want people to feel like they're doing something good, and whatever they actually accomplish doesn't matter.
All the interviews Stewart has done were so good and that one infuriated me the most. He really did try and push on him a little but the guy repeatedly avoided saying anything that wasn't on message and totally useless. Just really pathetic.
I liked pretty much all the guests he has had on but I genuinely came away hating Jeffries. Dude either doesn't get it or just doesn't care. Just absolutely infuriating.
Idk, he comes off as too conciliatory so often. He had a guy on a few weeks ago, deep libertarian, and Jon really didn't do much but agree with his points.
I don't expect him to be a table-thumping communist in these interviews, but he has an audience that are there because of his views, and letting guests off the hook is something he should save for the TV show, this podcast promises to be (and usually is) more serious about being a political outlet.
When he gets someone on that he agrees with, like Ezra Klein, they get all fired up together and I really enjoy those discussions. I wish he'd get fired up with these Democrats that push the status quo and rip them new assholes.
