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

Fucking hell you're just making up excuses at this point. Anything he does take a stance on you'll say is unambiguous even if it isn't, like this isn't

This is like saying that universal healthcare is unambiguous. Yea, the facts support it, and a majority of people support it, but there's still a lot of right wingers who are against it, and if he were trying not to alienate them, he wouldn't make a video in support of it

You keep repeating yourself and I keep explaining that Phil's okay with alienating extremists in order to stay unambiguous and center. The right wingers who are against something as clear-cut as family leave are so far from the center that they are extremists he's okay alienating

A bunch of right wingers being on a particular side doesn't make an issue ambiguous. If anything, it's an indicator that something is fundamentally wrong with that position.
