    letting right wingers in allows the DNC to go "look, we accept criticism from the other side" because they recognize that Democrats already disagree with everything they're gonna say about the speeches whereas someone like Liz, Brace or Hasan might make certain criticisms of the party that they don't want getting out because some liberals/progressives and independents may take them seriously. They also want right wing attacks against them bc that's the way they're moving anyway so it's a form of confirmation bias.

    The Democrats absolutely do not want any leftist criticisms of their party being platformed at the DNC, even on an independent stream.

      I'm just surprised they didn't full on invite all the Republican craziest like they did the influencers. They could parade them like the never trump Republicans they had speak/think vote in larger numbers than their base

        They had a bunch of Republicans speak at the convention.

        Hell, Hasan said on stream they let Kellwyanne Conway in!
