Jeez Louise,
not everything in life is about politics or political leanings, or at least they shouldn't be. Whatever happened to just appreciating art for art's sake or questioning the motives of people for their individual, unique opinions about select pieces of artworks? Unless of course it's a work commissioned by Hitler when he was an art student!
I wonder if someone would even interpret my decision to delay watching this Joker film until it hits Netflix with some political motive, instead of me just not caring about clown stuff,
or being all that eager to see yet another DC Comics character on the big screen after all the market saturation. I hear the movie's gotten enough good reviews at least, so I'll give it a watch, way after the fact.
As for the whole politics thing, from my American progressive perspective, I think Warren's policies, while overall progressive, aren't as much so as Bernie Sanders and I don't think she's as realistic as him in terms of how to implement them, whether it's single-payer healthcare or anything else. Sanders also just appeals to blue collar working class dudes in general due to his FDR style rhetoric about a new deal for the American worker, whereas Elizabeth Warren's wonky schoolteacher appeal only goes so far. I know to a Republican Hillary or Biden might seem to the left (especially certain issues they care for the most like guns), but that's laughable to someone like me and I view them as basically 90s style GOP Republicans and fiscal conservatives who finally think gay marriage is okay or that climate change is bad enough to make a few incremental changes. They're certainly not progressive enough in my view if they don't care about the issue of addressing middle class US families going broke due to medical bankruptcies, something people in other developed nations like Canada don't have to worry about ever because that's freaking unheard of over there in the quaint & quiet Mounty maple syrup land of socialism.
I also think SJWs on Twitter are annoying and will beat people over the head who say Cleopatra was black instead of Greek, so make of that what you will.
But that's a conversation for another thread.
