I surprisingly like Ben Shapiro’s stuff. Ben Shapiro Discussion/critique

I’m fairly left-leaning and there are stances that Ben has that I definitely wouldn’t agree with. For example, I’m pro-choice and I typically refer to trans people by their chosen pronouns.

I’m not all that familiar with his stuff and his opinions, but when I caught him on Jubilee’s “Surrounded” series, I was like, “This is a good person.”

The country’s leftists are in an odd place where anyone that doesn’t agree with you is suddenly the worst and doesn’t deserve a place to express their opinions. But, Ben made valid points during his Jubilee appearance and it got me to check out his YouTube channel. 🤷‍♂️

I’m still sad about Harris losing and am wary of a second Trump term, but something about Ben’s endorsement makes me somewhat reassured.

(I really don’t know all his political opinions though, so perhaps his infamous reputation is earned.)

He is an articulate speaker and encourages people to think more, but he is not without his biases.

The body of your post seems to show you know why Kamala didn't win. A vocal minority of her supporters loudly alienated the majority race and one gender on the internet - either that or they are actually right wing and manipulated our perceptions online.

Kamala herself never wanted to lose the support of any gender or race, because it's a fucking election (popularity contest). As far as I know she didn't run with any racist/sexist agendas.

There was always going to be a backlash against this "hate yourself for your race and gender" stuff, and majority america clearly agrees.
