Ana Kasparian:我宣布政治立场独立,是因为左翼的意识形态束缚了我,阻止我更深入地思考问题,甚至考虑对方观点的可能性。我过去对很多事情的理解过于绝对化,现在意识到自己对很多事情的理解不够全面。主流媒体对特朗普的报道存在操纵和夸大,导致其支持者不信任媒体。为了避免被视为“为对方辩护”,人们不愿进行深入的政治分析,导致观点极度对立。左翼中一部分人宣扬美国没有机会,这是一种有害的论调;左翼中一部分人持有“白人救世主情结”,这是一种软弱的偏见。帮助人们的最佳方式是赋能,而不是取消优等生项目等做法。左翼的纯洁性要求过于极端,批评左翼并不等同于支持特朗普。民主党接纳温和的共和党人,却排斥持不同意见的左翼人士,这是一种矛盾现象。左翼在“忠诚”方面的得分较低,这可能是导致其内部互相攻击的原因之一。左翼对持不同意见者的排斥,导致人们感到政治上无家可归。民主党需要改变其排他性和精英主义的做法,以避免选民流失。人们从左翼转向右翼,是因为右翼更具包容性。 Chris Willx: 引导了与Ana Kasparian的讨论,并就政治极化、媒体偏见、左翼和右翼的不足之处、以及人们在政治上感到无家可归的原因等方面提出了问题。 他分析了算法如何影响人们的政治观点,以及社交媒体如何加剧政治部落主义。他还探讨了#MeToo运动的影响以及男性与女性互动中的复杂性。
