Bernie Sanders has appeared on The Late Show 21 times, more than any other politician and more than Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon combined. (Bernie has appeared on Seth Meyers 16 times, but that’s a separate time block, although a similar show.)
AOC has appeared on The Late Show 8 times, she has appeared on Kimmel once and never on Fallon.
Zohran Mamdani recently made his first appearance on any late night TV series and it was… COLBERT!
Why would he platform these “extreme” left wing people? Other late night shows in his timeslot are not.
I still remember Colbert shitting on Bernie and fawning over Hillary at absolutely every chance he got through 2016. He may have changed now, but when he had the opportunity to push for real positive change he backed the safe, corporate democrat hard.
These people are democrats not leftists. Leftists are Marxists, communists, anarchists etc. I suspect Bernie Sanders is actually a proper leftist but that’s not really what comes out in his positions.
Capitalists. Democrats in general are controlled opposition against the true left and he is their favourite mouthpiece.
Colbert is a wet blanket meant to stop any actual leftist progress by controlling the narrative around social/political issues. His politics are basically just Joe Biden shit but “funny”.
Capitalism and Neo-liberalism has worked out quite well in his favour and he wants nothing but to protect the status quo.
Colbert is controlled opposition. Change my mind.
Your mind is pointless and a waste of time.
Corporate propaganda is working I see.

I’ll admit I wasn’t aware of this. I don’t really consider most of these people to be leftists but that’s a good start.
No true Scotsmen, either.
Assuming you are American.

Controlled by whom?

Your point seems a little too “no true Scotsman” to me.
It’s not. The idea that US democrats represent the left is capitalist propaganda. Propaganda perpetuated by Colbert himself.
Colbert has never even been to Scotland. He was never in the running to be a Scotsman. He wouldn’t be caught dead in a kilt.
