Who’s Sam Harris? Didn’t he fill in for roaro kleibenschott last week?


I believe he’s a proud atheist and he probably doesn’t like Trump supporters because there’s a lot of evangelical Christians who didn’t vote in 2016 who are running to the polls in 2020 to vote Trump.

Sam Harris still doesnt get it.

I don't vote for candidates. I vote for policies, and I will always vote against socialism because it's against human nature; which is why it always fails.

Humans, and animals in general, do their best work based on a need.

Sam Harris believes he is smart enough to make any theory plausible.

I skipped around for a bit but no, it was most definitely not worth it. Sam Harries was an jerk last week and he is still a jerk.

No it hasn't. His opinion is that Trump supporters are flawed individuals who love Trump because they know he has no moral standing to judge them. Trump provides them absolution for their "sins." Harris is stupid on this topic.

But he’s blaming the Left for it, as he should. My vote is a complete repudiation for the Left, and a minor support for Trump combined with liking his foreign policy (which Sam is just wrong on), handling of the economy, and being a huge fan second term agenda which is specific and achievable unlike his vagueness of last time.

That wasn’t worth the listen.

Pretty weak effort. The idea that people solely vote based on how the president makes them personally feel is pretty amateurish. People should vote for policy not personality.

I expected a better presentation on the subject. Seemed tongue in cheek, if not masked trolling
Jordan Peterson's view on Trump, identity politics, and progressive Marxism carry more weight in my book.

I will say that if Trump achieves his second term agenda and also ends the War on Drugs (the only disappointment in his second term agenda), he will be the best President since James K Polk (by far our most underrated President). I think what he’s lying out is achievable and very specific. That’s another major reason I’m voting for Trump.
