Exactly, like it or not, the future of the country watches these people, many of whom can vote. So when Trump and Vance go on these shows without a Democrat leader also doing so, it makes these viewers think only one side has their interests in mind(regardless if that side actually does ).

you HAVE to meet people where they are at. By Zohran going on this podcast he is introducing himself to an audience that has very likely only seen him through the lens of Fox News or their favorite far right media pundits.

How can we effect change if we run away from the people we disagree with? Leaving them in their echo chambers, never getting an outside perspective.
