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

You think its unambiguous because you agree with it, but that doesn't change the fact that many right wingers don't agree with it. If he were trying not to alienate them then he wouldn't make a big video about why paid family leave is needed

He's willing to alienate people who disagree with him about unambiguous issues like this, of the Daddyoffive thing, where some people like Keemstar genuinely came out in favor of the child abuse at one point or another. He's fine alienating people when it's easy to do so.

This isn't unambiguous tho. Many right wingers are against it. So if he were trying not to alienate them he wouldn't do it

He took a stance on family leave because it's unambiguous and the right wingers who oppose it are idiots worth alienating from his audience. They aren't the ones he's trying to keep around. The ones he's trying not to alienate already agree with him about family leave
