      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

          Folks need to just put aside whatever their personal opinions are on people like Rubin/Rogan. Both are great interviewers (with completely different styles) and have interesting guests. For realz, I've even watched Shapiro just because of the guests invited.

          Rogan actually asks questions, Rubin to me never seems to actually ask anything of note. That isn't to say I don't find Rubin to be a nice guy or well meaning.

          Rubin's saving grace is that he actually tries to talk to people he disagrees with. And btw, all those that will attack Tulsi for going in on his show, probably won't even watch her interview.

          You are giving them more credit than they deserve regarding their ability to review and change their thinking. As Newt Gingrich said of 'Never Trumpers' -- "It's like they're too stupid to learn."

          The appeal of "engaging constructively" with bad faith actors who absolutely refuse to be co convinced is fairly limited, no?

          Do you suggest treating Fox News and the bullsh.t they flood the nation with as normal media? Democrats need a better reaction to bullsh.t mountain. Just going high doesn't cut it.

          The right has tolerance and would like to hear what she has to say. If she goes on dem controlled MSM they will attack her relentlessly.

          I'm open to listening to or engaging in constructive dialogue with anyone who has a coherent worldview they can properly and intellectually articulate, provided they're also open to such discussions. I'm a libertarian, but my Marx-Engels Reader rivals my Two Treatises for wear.
