Is this not just the the lesser of two evils argument? It isn’t as convincing to me when it’s about political streamers that you voluntarily choose to consume in your free time vs consequential national elections with candidates who you had little influence in choosing.
Sure. Nothing is really stopping anyone from doing that when judging a content creator. If you’re deep into wondering why he’s got so many defenders and attackers online though: he’s political. People get wrapped up in that.

There’s not a lesser of two evils argument there, so it makes sense it’d be unconvincing.
This is more of a ‘judge him by his enemies’ type thing.
Wouldn’t it make more sense to judge him on his own merits rather than the merits of his perceived enemies?
