I can't think of why you'd do this if you're a liberal candidate
Either benny talks past you and uses his usual debatebro 'tactic' of slapping down so many lies you can't refute them all and you look like a moron, or he's buddy-buddy with you which is arguably worse
Neither of those would be appealing to any liberal voters I can think of. It's like this idiot is trying to appeal to the Bill Maher crowd, I mean he even looks like Bill
They're already trying to manifest another loss 2 years out
His first episode last year was featuring Charlie Kirk though....I wonder if Ben is now marked
The Liz Truss of American politicians
Ben Shapiro isn't even a relevant figure on the right anymore. Gaza was a breaking point for The Daily Wire. In the fallout from it he alienated and boosted Candace Owens along with most of his other former staff. Now he's taking on Nick Fuentes and losing because Shapiro's base is the same 18-50 demographic that Fuentes and the other open antisemites target more effectively. His viewership has completely fallen off as he tries to die on the hill of "be every kind of bigot except antisemite". There is no audience for Gavin Newsom to convince out of their politics.
If Newsom wins, he is going to be the most blue fash imaginable. He would crack your skull for just suggesting we reduce ICE funding at all. He already tries to use CHP as his own personal army, and CHP seems more violent than a lot of local police when it comes to riot response.
My best guess, showing you’re in touch with “the cool kids” and showing how dems have learned their lesson and how “we ain’t so bad”.
If this was even a progressive going on normally right-wing media to try to make make leftist ideas less scary for people who never hear them outside of strawmen, that would be one thing. But knowing Newscum it’s just going to be a hour of “pwetty pwease say I’m one of the good ones, senpai?”
Yep, seems like he’s utilizing the same consultants who told Kamala to buddy up with the Cheneys for…reasons.
Bah, who am I kidding, they don’t need consultants for ideas this bad. They’re establishment dems after all, this comes naturally.
The glib/snarky reply is that he's not a liberal candidate. He's trying to run as a centrist Democrat
