YouTuber “Meet Kevin” Running for Governor as a Democrat on a Conservative Platform

I’m impressed by Meet Kevin’s (aka Kevin Paffrath) energy, work ethic, and intelligence. I’d expect a gubernatorial candidate to at least have some elected office experience before running for governor of the largest state in the union, but at this point, anyone would be better than Gavin Newsom!

In fact, one of Meet Kevin’s largest assets is his limited record because he can brand himself as a forward-thinking, socially liberal, fed up with the establishment, young Democrat to appeal to California’s massive low-information Democratic base while substantively running on an extremely conservative platform.

Do you think that’s an unfair characterization of California Democrats? California has the lowest literacy rate in the country and nearly half of California students can’t read at grade level, which is below our already low national average. Sad! Low-information voters tend to be Democrat. Democrats incorrectly believe that the longer one sits in public classrooms the more informed they’ll be. Wrong! The best predictor of knowledge is wealth.
