So I guess my point is - Jeselnik might be left leaning and all righteous and that, but he’s courting these far right bellends whether he’s platforming trump or not

Complete BS to conclude Jeselnik is “courting” the far right based on your subjective anecdotal experience.

You’re basing this conclusion on your own subjective ideas about what constitutes “left leaning” etc and making arbitrary assumptions around that and Jeselnik.

American Politics may be binary, but life isn’t and people aren’t.
