Can't argue with what the man's saying. Jesse's still as crusty as ever.

The end is particularly impressive, from 7 min on. Heads up that he briefly goes after the Dems too. If you don't want that salt skip to about 7:20 when he starts on the Gnome.

Then he got into the "both sides do it" bullshit. I'm sorry, Jesse, but the Democrats didn't get us here. Fuck you.

I'm fucking sick of this bothsiderism. We are here, in part because of it. If you want to defend it, then you are part of the problem.

Why is it Democrats can't support one another, respect one another, in spite of a disagreement like "bothsiderissm"? Why can't we save the "Fuck yous" for Republicans? WE ARE ALL DEMOCRATS, for God's sake.

Thanks for sharing, Cattledog. Jesse looks awful thin, but his voice and mind are good as ever. Last time I saw Jesse was in Yorba Linda, CA in 1999, where he gave a speech at Richard Nixon Pres Library. Sis & I stood in a long line to get him to autograph his books for our sons from back in another state. Whenever I get down, will come back & listen to Jesse in this clip. Go Jesse! Remind everyone how valuable history is.

I may be wrong, because he's clearly anti-Chump and anti-MAGA. He's joined small 3rd parties over the years such as the Independence Party and the Reform Party. If he's a Dem now, I would be glad to hear it, but I don't believe he is.
