Peterson, Harris, etc....

I think it is a good thing if Shapiro receives pushback in such civilized manner as Harris can provide. Can you imagine the circus if the opponent would be for example Cenk? We need centrists like Harris in public discourse as much as possible. Even if it means debating people on both edges of the spectrum.
I think any professional who can debate him with reasonable rules in place can beat him. His whole gimmick is speaking quickly at college students and editing it for social media. I've never seen him talk to any qualified adult that disagrees with him for more than 5 minutes and not look stupid.
 
"Have you seen this amazing Canadian professor? He's really one of the greatest intellectuals of our time. He's politically balanced too. He's a best-selling author and also selling out big stadiums! You should check him out!"

We can forgive you for being Canadian. But we won't forgive you for being a thick racist cnut.

I think he was just a stubborn and pretty weird right wing professor who then got on the grifter circuit and now he's here. I don't think it's making him particularly happy though.
