Should 2028 Democrats go on Tucker and Candace's shows? [View all]

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:
