You are correct, but I suspect we differ on what we think it means.

I think it means people are beyond partisan. You think it means Oz was a terrible candidate. Oz wasn't a great candidate for sure. Fetterman is for sure unfit for office.

Oh I agree with that, but that's who the voters chose. Him going explicitly against the liberal stereotypes that the right holds about liberals probably helped him in the center. I also kind of wonder how much Oprah's anti-endorsement helped Fetterman. Oprah has real clout. Dr. Oz has always been a very poisonous personality to emerge from the Oprahverse. Behind the Bastards did an interesting series on his background.

What's weirdest is he is an accomplished surgeon who has literally saved lives, but for some people that isn't enough. I imagine a universe where Dr. Oz gets in a bad car accident, loses the use of his hands, and has to learn sorcery in a misguided attempt to fix himself only to become Sorceror Supreme.

They will have you think this is because the other options are so bad, instead of the reality that these people just vote by party line alone.

Sometimes you remind me how completely out of touch you are with the working class

His problem was he was a Trump selected candidate. If he wasn't a Trump backed candidate he probably would have won

The negativity from the right I’ve seen about Oz is calling him a “snake oil salesman” who endorses and pushes products that Oz knows for a fact don’t work because the company pays him. Basically they think he is kind of a fraud. I do remember there being a decent amount of controversy about his claims about the efficacy of products he endorsed on his show in the past

Fair enough. I suspect in the next two years we will see a lot of "I never really was totally on board with Trump" posts and I personally won't let them forget it was standard Republicans who created that windbag.

Report: U.S. DHS worked directly with Facebook, Twitter to censor “disinformation” during election campaigns.

Then they did a shitty job. There are people here who believe the 2020 election was stolen, despite there being zero evidence... those same people do not believe in dinosaurs or evolution despite the abundant evidence.

Yeah, he's a weird mix of legit doctor and fraud. It's baffling. I assume it's mostly about making stacks of cash. I didn't know much about him till the BtB episodes on him. Robert has also covered Dr. Phil but he has yet to grow sufficient balls to go after Oprah herself.

Some people just don't like doctors.

A Turkish military veteran is unfit for office

Iranian ones have killed less Christians purposefully, but yeah IRGC couldn’t get elected to senate

Turkey is a bad country and I guess you guys will realize that when they occupy Greek territory next year and we bomb them back to Central Asia

So are we communists yet? We playing our own version of Russian grand orchestral classic electronica hip hop?
