Welcome to this episode of the award-winning Best of a LeftPod Cast.

This is a sample of our recent bonus episode every couple of weeks or so, our crew of researchers,

Amanda and myself get together for a roundtable discussion.

So here's a few minutes for free so you can see what all the fuss is about.

Before we end, let's examine how right Amanda was when she said this.

So there is this phenomenon that I have noticed where people on both the left and the right

quote someone or oftentimes I feel like it's George Carlin.

For some reason he's a common target or a philosopher like we've heard in this video

or just a quote from someone who that seems very wise and very concrete.

And the two sides, Dimash Blu-Pose, will take the same quote or whatever it may be

and put it on social media or write about it or whatever and say, see, this upholds everything that I believe.

And they don't realize that the other side is doing the exact same thing with the exact same quote

or piece of information.

Jay was using the word ambiguous.

I don't have a word to really describe this specific phenomena.

It's not just two different people see the same thing in a different way.

It's deeper than that on some level.

Every time I encounter it, it makes my head spin because I'm trying to process,

wait, wait, does this apply to what I believe or does this apply to what someone else

that I don't agree with believes?

And is it possible it applies to both?

And I like to spin out because I'm just trying to make it make sense and it doesn't.
