    “If what you want is a centrist campaign that’s quiet on trans issues, tough on the border, distances itself from Palestinians, talks a lot about law and order, and reaches out to moderate Republicans — that candidate existed, and she just lost," Oliver said.

      Jon Stewart said the same thing, Democrats and pundits were talking about being too far left this whole campaign. So he showed a bunch of the Democrat’s commercials from this campaign season, and none of them mentioned “woke, left” policies.

      It was all about the border, or funding the police, or that they explicitly don’t support “forced sex changes.”

      And Stewart responded, “… What woke, left, progressive policies?!? These all sound like Republican talking points!”
