lmao orly is a beliver in deep state, but he thinks u should be calling ur represantives and trying to elect dems to office
if voting changed anything, they make it illegal, and most certanly the voting democrat won't change anything, just look at california's attempt on single payer

im sorry i dont like whining about my problems and prefer to actually get sh!t done matt.



what youre doing is not helping get anything done, though.

im involved as someone who doesnt have a permanent place of residence can be - during the primaries, i was the VP of a political club for bernie sanders, we hosted voter registrations, debate watch parties, etc etc. during the election/in the past few months, i've joined in on marches, protests, and im currently in talks with a friend to set up a political club on campus that will meet up consistently and write letters to congressmen/senators, etc, etc.

i could go on, but i dont need to prove myself to you, and my political involvement doesn't change the point im making.

the real thing that you need to focus on is right in front of you. who cares that someone from CNN doesn't think the federal investigation about russia isn't very credible when the government is about to vote on a bill that if passed, will leave millions with healthcare and a lot of people dying?

also im very politically involved so i wouldnt assume what i did or didnt do about this election


wow great to hear, so im guessing you've been calling your legislators and letting them know how you feel about that bill? have you told your friends to do the same? that's great, really appreciate you doing that and actually contributing as a citizen, rather than being a complacent conspiracy theorist

but hey im sure you're politically active and actually contribute to your community. you must have lots of time to do that in college, right? so you've been helping out? great to here that you havent been complacent like those dirty alt-right conspiracy theorists!

matt would you mind letting me know what you've been up to politically? have you been helping out your neighborhood with getting democrats elected locally? do you know your district congressman and senator? super exciting that you're helping to fight the cause, really appreciate you not being complacent.

hahahaha no, youre not a traitor for keeping up with news, or questioning the free press. people are obligated to do those things.

im calling you out because youre so focused on finding the -REAL- truth of some made-up conspiracies that you don't realize that the trump administration is doing insanely harmful, evil stuff as we speak, and people are just letting it happen.

and just to be clear, this isnt just "one of CNNs producers"

this is a supervising producer (aka has say over other producers) and literally is on tape saying the CEO wanted to move away from actual news (ie paris climate accord back-off) to conspiratorial news (ie 'russia')

it's funny, you had the same reaction as my aunt to this video.

"hey orly, you're a traitor to this country for not believing what the free press has to say. i cant believe you are letting trump do what he wants. you millenials are destroying this country"

yes yes, clearly im to blame for keeping up with the news and questioning narratives.

me, the same person that spent literally hundreds of hours campaigning for sanders and clinton as president.

me, who keeps watching vigilantly over the news cycle, searching for the truth.

me, merely questioning and commenting on the veracity of literal impeachment allegations against the president, now shunned as a bigot and racist, a conspiracy theorist and lunatic, and an all-around horrible person.

yea, that's complacent alright. what more do you have to tell me, armchair warrior who thought trump was a joke pre-election and probably did nothing to tell friends the urgency of voting in the 2016 election?

yes matt, surely i am to blame.

love watching ppl like orly be complacent in the destruction of our country and the murder of innocent people because he's so caught up in weird government conspiracies and wanting to prove the media "wrong"

wow, one of the cnn producers thinks that the russia story doesn't have many credentials to it.

meanwhile, the president is still an immature manchild currently pushing for a healthcare bill that will kill countless numbers of people and a travel ban that will only allow ISIS to become stronger and recruit more people.

why are people so eager to take trump's side? lol
