There exists a certain segment of the population that tends to really respond to rhetoric and all of the “culture war” stuff. Most of us just see right through it as bombastic posturing and bullshit, but a disturbingly high number of people actually take political bullshit straight to heart and internalize it.
In the current culture war we really only have one side fighting, and the other side is trying to pretend they’re not in a culture war. So the left needs a good, loud voice to articulate their rhetoric. I don’t like political rhetoric, I prefer facts and truth, but the sad reality is there is a sizeable segment of the population who are completely emotional, irrational, impulsive, and non chalant about politics… For those we need someone who articulates bullshit (and non bullshit) well in front of a camera.
I’m about as far from a single issue voter as there is, so I just don’t care about his 2A stance, I’m worried about the Republic as long as the MAGA mindset prevails, I will vote against them. So that means, despite the fact I don’t much care for the Democratic part either, I WILL be voting for Democrats because that’s the best defense against these assholes. I look forward to the day I can go back to voting 3rd party (I like protest votes), and be able to do so knowing I’m not short-changing our republic.
