      Tulsi went on Dave Rubin yesterday and made the case for abortion rights, gun control, higher taxes, government regulation of industry, and why he's wrong about various subjects, but her mere appearance on the show will of course provoke shrieks that she's a stealth right-winger

      I don't particularly like Rubin -- find his shtick extremely tedious at this point -- but to immediately play the "guilt by association" game where it's denounced as inherently evil to even appear on his show is ridiculous and destructive

      People such as Rubin who create an entire identity around how "I didn't leave [insert ideology], [insert ideology] left me" are usually extremely shallow despite the veneer of deep intellectual curiosity. This is a cross-ideological phenomenon: see also, Never Trumpers

          But despite that tedium, they should still be engaged with constructively when possible. The trend toward writing people off (and their audiences as well) is incredibly insidious

          Maybe this would play better if he was an a**hole. Problem is, he’s a really likable person, and your unnecessary snark does not serve you well.

          mmm... not necessarily. You didn't leave main stream journalism, it left you. I for one think Dave Rubin gave Tulsi the best interview she's gotten so far. Too often they only want to talk about wars, her military experience or Assad. I want to hear her talk about other issues

          I find it a stretch to imply "Never Trumpers" are any more shallow than "MAGAs." If they are Republicans, they are shallow.

          Sounding insightful & meaningful shall not be mistaken for being able to provide stellar arguments; you cut corners & oversimplify. #daverubin doing fine job w/ first principles thinking. When one has correct premises, conclusions can be straightforward w/o being shallow. #woke

          Actually, Rubin self identifies as a Liberal. He states that Liberals of today are so radical that they accuse older Liberals closer to Kennedy, or who actually talk to and debate conservatives, as being conservative.

          Well since every putative member of the idw has a similar story it seems deluded to think they're shallow. Perhaps the left did leave them, you just didn't notice that you got dragged with the current.

          I like this "Neg" strategy you're playing here. Say something shitty, but not too shitty, hoping your target will seek approval from you. Let's see how it plays out.

          Why is this tedious? Sometimes party realignments leave some people out, and they’re stories can be instructive. They can also be seduced into grift, a la Rubin, but grift isn’t inherent to the phenomenon.

          Narcissism and a lack of critical reasoning skills is one awful mix.
