The posts that follow were sent to Kevin Smith via DM on “X” at 8:53 am. At 7 pm EST) Mr Smith has not replied. Mr Smith brags that “lefties” won’t appear on his show, but really he, like his far right peers, do not like level playing fields. I’ll be back tomorrow. 1/10

On Sunday evening, when you mentioned on the thread(?) set up by @AngelaBelcamino that no “lefties” would appear on your show, I immediately messaged “I’m left-wing as hell. Glad to be on.” 2/10
Before things ended, I added: “I’m crashing in a few. Call me tomorrow” and provided my cell phone number.
From what I see on cell phone history or messages on X, you did not reply. If I’m in error and you replied to my messages, please accept my apology. Otherwise, I have to say, your failure to reply is not a surprise. 3/10

I have not listened to your show. If it proceeds, as is customary for right-wing venues, you, as host, present your views and then shout over or otherwise deny your guest opportunity to speak. If your failure to reply was a courtesy so that I would not waste my time, thank you. 4/10

On the other hand, I would suggest a debate. Whatever the type of debate (e.g., policy, values, Lincoln-Douglas), the “basics” are consistent & essential. Each debater has specific amounts of time in which s/he speaks w/o interruption. Also, there is a specific resolution. 5/10

For time, we can alternate two- or three-minutes, however many we may agree upon. For a resolution, might I suggest “Resolved: the elections for President in 2016 and 2024 were stolen to benefit the GOP ticket or the 2020 election was stolen to benefit the Democratic 6/10

Party ticket.” This distributes the burden of proof equally.
April 20 fast approaches. Some will celebrate that date at the “Hash Bash” in Ann Arbor. Others anticipate the current occupant of the Oval Office invoking emergency powers to address a 7/10

national crisis, much as Hitler used the Reichstag fire as a pretext to be absolute dictator of the Barely-over-12-years Reich. That date also is Hitler’s birthday. Do you wear lederhosen each year to celebrate his birthday? 8/10

I’ll copy [Angela] since I initially messaged you during the event she facilitated last Sunday. My schedule is flexible, but need 24 hours after we agree on a topic and format to prep. So don’t try a 60 Minutes-style “call out of the blue” saying “I’m ready. Let’s debate now.” 9/10

Finally, if you do not wish to debate, or ... I have not received a reply and infer you do not wish to debate, that is your right. However, please spare everyone any further claims that people on the “left” refuse to be on your show. You don’t want guests. You want door mats. 10/10
