            edit: added thanks, additional details

            Thanks you for the question!

            I felt the same until I started watching him amd stopped listening to all the name calling from others.

            He is far left.

            He is in some ways a bit closer to classical liberals, he has stayed consistant on his views.

            Classical liberalism is a political tradition and a branch of liberalism which advocates free market and laissez-faire economics; and civil liberties under the rule of law, with special emphasis on individual autonomy, limited government, economic freedom, political freedom and freedom of speech.

            And to remind peeps, he is a comedian first and is known for his rants.

            Always against censorship, anti-war, M4A, high critic of gov’t, against alphabet agencies (FBI,CIA,NSA,…), amd much more.

      All three of these people are people I would never want to be associated with. This is more harm than good.
