Same, haven't heard of him and moved away for nearly a decade. Just the dog shocking memes. Good if he's mobilizing young people to vote I guess? But I don't really trust any of the political YouTube people in general - seems there's too much money involved to not be biased.

That's my take as well- the dog shocking thing is all I know about him, and that is alarming, because that has the hallmark of a typical right wing smear campaign, like, obviously that is a bad thing but now his whole thing and message is overshadowed by this one event and it's what being pushed. Getting your dick sucked in the oval office by an intern isn't a great look either, but does that really disqualify literally everything else a person does or has achieved? If we expect perfect morality of people or we reject them wholesale based on extremely narrow single issues then we can't trust anyone or listen to anyone, ever, which falls in line pretty well with right wing agenda because that's precisely what they want people to think: everyone is immoral, therefore it is ok for us to be immoral, and you should support us because it's all the same anyway.
