I wouldn’t call him “die-hard”. He’s a neoliberal, but I think he’s clearly pretty conflicted.
He seems like a closet Berniecrat. He hasn’t said it, but I think he is probably a Warren voter.
I wish he was more socialist, but it’s clear that he hates Jefferies and Schumer, and has a sinking suspicion that Democrats are just the Washington Generals, but is still in the denial phase.
I listen to his podcast, and it’s mostly good. He’s still a lib, but he’s clearly working on it. It especially comes out when he’s taking with his producers, who he clearly hired to help him see his blind spots.
I couldn’t have said it better myself. I think Stewart has a positive effect on politics overall, even if he does drive me nuts occasionally. People shouldn’t put him on a pedestal, but similarly they shouldn’t call him full neoliberal.
Oliver practices criticism that could align with anticapitalism, but I have not heard him actually properly criticize the capitalist mode of production. He strikes me as more of a social democrat
Oliver already basically does. Stewart is a die-hard neoliberal and it drives me crazy people don’t see it.

I like him.

Shit’s nuanced.
