3. What was the point of platforming a bigot? Especially at a time when the focus right now is on the economy

and how trump is fucking everything up. globally. Newsom puts on a look at me stunt in the middle of all this???

A better use of his first podcast would have been to platform disaffected farmers and federal workers that voted for trump. The trans issue aside ( I don't say that to be demeaning. I fully support my trans brothers and sisters and the way I see it, my existence as a black woman is not up for debate. Nobody's existence should be. ). My overall point is, it is complete chaos right now. Job losses, the stock market, trade wars. The new world order as the USA is now allied with Russia. Europe is arming itself and no longer considers the US an ally. Now is the time to keep those issues at the forefront and keep reminding folks what a fuck up trump is as well as the entire GOP. Folks are actually paying attention to issues that really matter.

Here he is doing a look at me stunt. C'mon!
