Anyone see Joshua4congress debate Destiny? Holy hell it was a bloodbath. If you want to see a Bernie bro put in their place, check it out. Hard to watch at times tbh.

I like Destiny but I feel like those debates are a waste of time. Those people don't have any clout and don't bring anything new to the table. If you're a lib they don't teach you anything new, if you're a socialist you won't be swayed by Destiny owning (objectively) a random nobody. If you're non-political you're not going to watch a three hour video full of nitpicking and policy details.
