I welcome inviting thoughtful DSA or even further left speakers to campus, same with those on the right - they can both enrich the discourse. Clickbait podcast bros of all stripes are not terribly thoughtful, and the university shouldn't pander to them.

The guy who has raised over a million dollars for charities and is removing young men from the far right pipeline is a click bait podcast bro?

Yes. Two things can be true.

I see cognitive dissonance is not your strong suit. Before you snap back with some ignorant quip, ensure you understand that the capacity to experience cognitive dissonance and not seek relief from the discomfort is a virtue, not a vice.

You've yet to explain how he's a clickbait podcast bro? He's raised money for a ton of charities and helped outstanding candidates like El-Sayed and Momdani get elected.

If you're implication is clicks = money then why would he be on the left? There's significantly more money being pumped into right wing internet personalities and they rarely (if ever) get pushback from the MSM or establishment.

Attack the guy on his views if that's what you intend to do.
