It's how he retains his audience, very rarely saying anything to alienate anyone and trying to create impartiality where it doesn't exist. Trying to frame an issue as "both sides are equal" is false equivalence. It ignores that sometimes one side is actually correct.

Yes, he never says anything of substance. Like in this video where he definitely doesn't take the stance that paid family leave is needed https://youtu.be/pX7tjUc1HNA

Dude, I just said a couple tweets back that he only chooses sides when he thinks it's unambiguous, like paid family leave or child abuse or some other obvious thing.

It may seem unambiguous to you but theres a lot of right wingers who don't agree with guaranteed paid family leave

You say that like it disproves my point. He typically only comes out in support of things absolute morons would oppose, occasionally doing something that could be considered controversial if it gives him centrist cred, like telling people to "look into" Libertarian politicians

I mean he's kinda a libertarian, so I think he's saying that because he agrees with them, not because it gives him "centrist cred." And yes, it does disprove your point. If he were trying to appease right wingers then he wouldnt make a big video on why paid family leave is needed

Paid family leave is an unambiguous issue. Much like the Unite The Right rally, the fact that some asshole right-wingers are full of bullshit doesn't change that. I didn't say he's trying to "appease" them, although he often does that too, but rather to not alienate them outright

The fact that he was more concerned with telling people to check out Gary Johnson over defeating Trump, or even covering what an idiot Trump is, is the tell - it was to create an air of faux-neutrality so as to not alienate Trump voters that he maintains to this day.

When in reality, the most neutral, fact-based position, is that Trump is an idiot fascist who should be subject to impeachment by now, and that the only reason he hasn't been is partisan hackery within the Republican Party. That's an unbiased take, without even adding opinion.

That is definitely not an unbiased take. Trump isn't a fascist. He's an idiot. That much is true. But he's so dumb that he doesn't even have any ideology. He just does what the last person to talk to him told him to do

Yes, he's a fascist. Every single point of data backs this up. He even compliments fascist dictators and expresses wishes to be able to behave the way they do. The fact that you can't even recognize this basic reality is a problem.
