So Brendan Carr threatening their license and them cancelling the show is a coincidence? Is that what you're arguing?

I'm not sure you could consider Antifa an "organization" even in its prime ~5 years ago. Is anyone protesting fascism going to fall under this umbrella?

Couldn't that affect third party sponsorships, though? Both getting them and reporting numbers to existing ones?

Maybe I'm biased, but I don't think antifa has been relevant for the past... five years? My mind puts them in the pre-COVID bucket.

The anti-fascist stuff is a inside joke that groypers use. Nick Fuentes recently called Trump a "Jewish fascist" on his show. The rest of your comment is pretty bad faith and uninformed. "Painting Kirk as extremely right wing

Fair enough. Would you sit out an election over this issue, though? Especially where the other option is Trump?

You're referring to very far left circles that definitely don't represent liberals or more moderate Dems. I agree though, those circles consist of single-issue voters (e.g. palestine) that harm actual progress.

The left doesn't hold power in any branch of government right now. The most they can do before midterms is cause a government shutdown, but that can backfire unless messaging/demands are perfect.

Well, it's a very populist move and the extremes of either party will go down that road to get votes. Far right parties are generally for social programs as long as the wrong people don't get them.

"no tax on tips" was a pandering move to the mostly financially-illiterate populace that still don't understand progressive tax systems. Singling out certain types of income makes no sense and is very unfair. I wouldn't

How is that a thorny issue? What got us into this housing crisis is exactly the mindset you're displaying here: once you get yours, it's yours for the rest of time and anyone who tries to change that should be voted out.
