    I hate how Bill tries to pretend to be a Democrat or that he’s challenging his own party when he’s clearly a conservative based on the things he says and does.

      I use to watch him, and didn’t like some of his opinions. When covid hit, he started talking crazy and started spreading misinformation about masks. I stopped watching him altogether.

      He’s a libertarian, I think he’s always been one people we’re just confused when he criticized the Iraq War.

      I agree with this, though he does claim to be a Libertarian. But IIRC, the Libertarians took him to task for his positions and rejected that claim.

      I still watch his show, but more for the trainwreck aspect of it. The standup section is sometimes okay, but some of the panel discussion topics and the direction they take, including the panel guests that are chosen - some definite choices are being made there, yikes.

        I stopped watching when he made every single episode a reactionary screed against trans people and covid restrictions.

        His scabbing just confirmed my opinion that he’s a shitbird who thinks he’s owed money and attention for being famous.

            Sure but because of the backlash, not the principle.

            He only cancelled the shows because doing them would hurt his career more than not doing them. There was no solidarity with the actual people who do the work of putting him on the air; he was fully willing to do the show and break the picket line before before he realized the strike was ending soon enough anyway.

            He’s just another “fuck you, I got mine” reactionary.
