(42,862 posts)This is just a quick clip of a longer performance. His message is clear. He's lumping all politicians together it's this kind of ... defeatist cynicism and "both sides are corrupt" bullshit that helps to depress voter turnout. He even boasts about not voting.
It's that type of attitude that only serves to create an atmosphere of negativity: Negativity generates apathy. Apathy discourages voter turnout. Low voter turnout gives Republicans a chance to steal the elections.
There are no words of wisdom here. He's just a bitter and cranky old man who blames EVERYBODY when it's not really everybody's fault. He thinks EVERYONE is corrupt, but ignores the good and honest and loyal and stalwart Democrats who are working to improve the system and people's lives.
Carlin is just a funny and thinner version of Michael Moore.
