We all know the meme, but most of the time it’s referenced about someone shitty saying something you already agree with. What I wanna hear about is a time when someone who you broadly disagree with actually gave you some kind of new insight about something - even if you didn’t end up coming around to their point of view. Maybe they gave you a piece of a puzzle that you were missing, but then you built on that in a completely different way.
Doesn’t have to actually be “the worst person you know,” interpret it however you like.
If they’re saying something I already agree with or I already know, I kind of see that as just rubbing salt in the wound so I hate them even more.
Because the worst people I knew, always told me shit I already know about so it isn’t anything surprisingly or insightful. It was just more babbling from them.

All the time. When people start talking about how the FDA and legislators are all captured by industry lobbyists. YES! And the regulations they wrote don’t actually help protect people. YES! So we should skip vaccines and drink raw milk. NOoooooooooo!
So close but the answer I was looking for was abandon FPP elections so we can have a multi-party system that actually represents us and maybe has a chance at overturning citizens United and all that stuff.

Well a famous podcaster hasn’t said a racist thing in the last month or two, so I’ll give him that
