Vance having to deal with this because this is exactly who you signed up to be in office with.

You made a deal with the devil, now deal with it.

Yeah, and I think that Hassan being in the news like this, too, is a way for them to engage in Islamophobia in races like with Abdul Al-Sayed in Michigan without having to go at the candidate directly.

And that's something that needs to be just completely eliminated from the Democratic Party.

We saw it with Zoran Mamdani.

After he won the primary, Kirsten Gillibrand, one of the senators from New York, said that he was going to usher in global jihad.

And she had to walk that statement back, but it just goes to show how normalized Islamophobia is and how pervasive it has been.

And yeah, Hassan is immensely influential, and that's what scares them.

So they can't decide if he's politically toxic and he's going to sink all the campaigns that he supports, or if he's so popular that they need to be afraid of him.

And I really think it's the latter.

They are trying to go on the offensive to make sure that they can discredit Hassan during this period of grassroots energy in the Democratic Party because he's talking about things.

He's to the left of even me.

He's a socialist, and he talks about these values with passion, and he's going to Yale, and he's going all across the country, and that's a threat to them.

The capitalists, the class of people that were funding things like TPUSA, they're used to being in control of the narrative in that way because the money is always on their side.

But, you know, Hassan made good money on his own and he can do what he wants.

And that's the thing I'm most envious about with him, with his career, where he could just like pick up and go anywhere and he can support what causes he wants to.

And that freedom and the fact that he has a megaphone like that, it terrifies them because it's not just about being anti-Zionist or critical of Israel's genocide.

It's that if you are on that side of things and you are brave on that issue, it means that you're threatening to the power structure in a variety of different ways, because that means you're going to stand up to moneyed interests in that way.

So you'll probably support that.

Increasing the minimum wage, taxing the hell out of billionaires, Medicare for all, a Green New Deal.
