What are the failings the left sees in the Democratic party?
They think the most milquetoast lib is like a radical communist. Like it doesn't, they don't know what the word means. Keep your government hands off my Medicare.
All right, joining us today on IHIP News is Blakely. They are a non-binary artist, songwriter, political commentator, who has gone viral on social media for their takedowns on both sides of the aisle. Blakely, welcome.
Thank you so much for having me.
Yeah, I just wanna give my audience a little background about you and me. So we follow each other online, and I think it's probably safe to say you're further left than me even though i like to think of myself as fairly left i want to build alliances and have healthy conversations because i think people on the left agree on a lot more than what they disagree online so you identify as a leftist yeah and what do you take about this civil war that's going on with the democrats with like maybe the libs the progressives and the leftists
So for me, I mostly blame the Democratic Party. And I separate that a little bit from your rank and file lib, right? So sometimes the libs, just the rank and file libs, do make me insane. Like, I'll be being driven crazy. But... I think it is actually mostly the power apparatus. And I think one of the problems is, which is why I'm so glad we're having this conversation and why you're one of the few people that I would say is like more liberal that has even been willing to have it, is that the Democratic Party and the people that are in the media, the people who are influential, they have done everything they can to not talk about it. They don't want to confront it. This has been going on- When you say it, what are you talking about?
The war, the fight between the left and the progressives, the democratic establishment, they don't wanna confront it. It's kinda like how our government and our politicians wanna close their eyes and cover their eyes and they don't wanna talk about Palestine, right? Like in Israel, they don't wanna talk about it. It's the same thing with the Democratic Party and the liberals and the progressives. The entrenched power in the Democratic Party And the people that run the party, the people who have the influence and the power in the party do not want to confront what is happening at the grassroots level. And they don't wanna confront how corrupt the party is and why people leave more and more and more.
I'll see sometimes the liberals being like, yeah, but we still have like a little bit of this. And it's like, the party is bleeding. people are leaving the party people are leaving and more and more identifying as independents the fact that they are constantly trying to hold on to the past and act like nothing is wrong is what is so dangerous and i get criticized a lot especially when i'm arguing with liberals like you're criticizing democrats and it's helping republicans no you're enabling republicans and you're enabling fascists and you spend more time being angry at the left that constantly tries to sound the alarm than you are at the fascists that are literally driving this country into the ground you are helping them you are putting their seat belt on for them it's
and a perfect example of that is what's been happening with hassan piker it's insanity it's crazy it's insanity that he is the one that their ire is directed at when they should be directing their ire i always say no the problem is not that i'm not i'm not i'm criticizing democrats too much and helping republicans the problem is you have way too much in common with them the democratic party the leaders of the party they have way too much in common and enable the republican party and i say i oppose the republicans at every turn and everything these fascists stand for they need to be destroyed they don't need to be pandered to they don't need to be well you know both sides and we're bipartisan and la la la no they need to be crushed their ideology needs to be crushed so my question always is to the democrats i do oppose the republicans why don't you why are you so intense you look at the way that they fight the left and you see oh they've got fight in them they fight the left they viciously fight the left we saw the way they treated zora mamdani
