    He’s a 24 year old unmarried (likely incel) running for Governor in California. He isn’t even going to win the primary, how about we just all collectively ignore this dumbass.

        Don’t give it a stage. Imagine where we’d be if news outlets stop giving free advertising to these people. Remember all the free marketing News channels gave to Trump in 2016. That was back when even Fox News was against him.

        By talking about it, you are validating it. Treat these dumbshits like you would a flat earther. Ignore them and let them quietly die out. I know that will never happen because 1. It’s too late and 2. It’s good for ratings.

          It should be talked about. But 1. Briefly and 2. Harshly. Ignoring completely just let’s those things do whatever, run rampant or die out. But acknowledging let’s you go “we see you, you’re stupid, good bye”. No ground for fighting or rebuttal. Just a straightforward disapproval and continue on.
