I can't believe there's still a debate about whether leftists should go on huge conservative platforms or just wait eternally for a call from the liberal platforms who hate them. Yes, getting leftist values into the mainstream by any means is better than being ignored. Duh.
Letting leftist ideas and values remain marginalized under the notion that you're "legitimizing" people who already have audiences of millions is the absolute dumbest thing you can do. Get the ideas out there if for no other reason than to force the bastards to push back on them.
The left will never have a meaningful movement as long as it's relegated to the unseen fringes, and there are people whose entire job is figuring out how to keep them there. Don't give them your marginalization for free; at least make them come out in the open and fight for it.
Refusing to let leftist ideas and values be heard by conservative audiences just deprives conservatives of something they need, AND it deprives liberal audiences as well since if you can get your point into the mainstream the liberal platforms have to talk about it too.
