Should 2028 Democrats go on Tucker and Candace's shows?

[Renew Deal]

There's a big "hear me out" on this one. Bassem Youssef, formerly connected to the Daily Show recently went on Candace Owen's show to discuss Gaza. He then went on The Young Turks and said that politicians are wrong for not talking to people that disagree with them. He said that people that disagree should align in the short term to deal with immediate problems and then can go back to fighting later.

This brings up a bigger question. Should 2028 Democrats and even current Democratic congressional candidates go on RW shows like Candace, Tucker, Megan Kelly, and others? Should 2028 republicans go on Democratic/left shows like Pod Save America, Bulwark, Breaking Points, etc.?

Here is the video where Youssef made his statements:

1. Yes

If they care so much about trying to win some over they got to go where the people are. But even more they MUST get out of the TV-only mindset. It’s a dying medium and most younger voters never watch. Go on podcasts and YouTube. Go on TikTok. Write a Substack.

2. Fuck NO!

There is no benefit to giving crazy fascists more clicks.

The QAnon cultists are never going to vote for Dems.

This is not a persuadable opportunity.

3. Megyn Kelly is still a Trump humper so fuck no

The rest are nuts in their own way. Candace Owens has appeared with Kanye and spouted all sorts of pro Nazi shit. Tucker Carlson, just yuck… we all know his history. But of all the former Trump supporters attacking him now, I think his attacks really get under Trump’s skin. He was such a loyal follower.

4. No

People that disagree with us? Say what? That idea grants them legitimacy and their "philosophy" credibility.

People that disagree should align in the short term and then can go back to fighting later? That is a fatal mistake, one that has been made far too many times.

5. Not just no....... HELL NO!

[tman]

6. Legitimize these freaks at your peril.

Some things seem like a good idea but are in fact a sure path to hell.

There is always a better way. It's up to good leaders to figure that out.

[betsuni]

7. Absolutely. As he says, no purity tests. Talk to everyone.

[Celerity]

8. I agree. nt

9. They need to go on Rogan, Theo Von, and Steven Bartlett (Diary of a CEO) as well.

10. Um ... It's sorta like the Social Democratic Party trying to salvage Germany's situation at the end of the Great War

by making common cause with the ultra-rightwing Freikorps

The endgame of that strategy was (shall we say?) unpleasant

Candace and Tucker are wacko attention whores.
