For the millionth time, I ask this question genuinely: if leftists are such a massive bloc that losing their votes will cost you an election, why don’t you try putting forward a platform that might actually appeal to them? Why is it leftists’ fault that the liberal candidate performed badly?

This is what you are doing with Newsom.

Disclaimer: I don't want to act like Kid Rock is dead in the water yet, festival's still on, it still has like six gajillion artists including some very big names. It kicks off in three months and we'll see what has changed by then (let alone in September when it plays its final dates)

I, obviously, was wrong in my Kid Rock episode when I said his MAGA stance had made him a pariah in mainstream music circles, but Trump's re-election getting him a welcome back for a single year just to get violently cast out again is honestly even funnier

Shinedown pulling out of Kid Rock's festival is shocking because the festival is only MAGA subtextually. On the surface, it's supposed to be like any other concert, the lineup is full of legitimate acts (although less and less as we continue). Acts are literally only withdrawing because of Kid Rock
