Why are Democrats polling historically low?
All right, although the Democratic Party is winning right now, they're winning because MAGA is so horrible. They're polling historically, historically low. And within the Democratic Party, you have a couple of different sects. You have the corporate Democrats, the vote blue no matter who, and then you have real progressive Democrats who kind of feel homeless, but end up voting with the Democrats because of harm reduction. And I was the former, and I'm morphing into the latter. After Kamala lost, I really started taking a look. Why are the Democrats losing? to this man, this moronic, fascist man, how are we losing? So I had a conversation with leftist streamer, Hasan Piker and Austin Show on I've Had It in New York City.
And a clip from our conversation is going viral all over Twitter and social media, TikTok, Instagram, et cetera. This conversation to me is trying, it appears that people online are trying to shut this conversation down. And when somebody is trying to do that, then I think, oh, this is the conversation we absolutely need to have. And so I'm going to play a little bit of it right now. Please do not back out of this video because to me, this is the most important conversation to be had within the political spaces right now for anybody that wants to fight fascism. Play the clip.
What divides the Democratic Party into different factions?
I'm disappointed in Gavin Newsom.
Who do you vote for, J.D. Vance or Gavin Newsom? Well, I'd have to vote for Gavin Newsom, of course.
Me too. I wouldn't blink. What about you, Hasan? I'd probably vote third party.
You would?
Oh, yeah. I mean, at that point, it doesn't even matter. Because my policy on this is the same as my refusal to endorse Kamala Harris. The reason why I did not endorse Kamala Harris was because she did things that were not only unproductive, but also unconscionable. And I still stand on that. I still talk about it all the time because people constantly bring it up. They're like, you didn't sufficiently promote Kamala Harris. You're the reason why she lost. I'm like, I am incapable. there is no singular force in this country that is capable of making or breaking an election and if that was real then it is the most idiotic thing not to listen to my demands but everybody knows that that's not real right if i had this singular force to be able to make kamala harris the president then kamala harris should be coming to me every day and being like let me do a collab with you please right that's not the case of course and they know it that's why they didn't do it but um
The campaigns are always responsible for whether or not they are able to win the crowds.
Okay, pause that right there, Kylie, and leave it up. So what he's saying here I think is really true. Number one, when it comes to Gavin Newsom, for somebody like Hassan who has felt very homeless in the American two-party system, I gave him a hypothetical question, Gavin Newsom or J.D. Vance. Gavin Newsom, instead of going on Hassan's show, he has had Charlie Kirk on and he has had Ben Shapiro on. Gavin Newsom has. In each case, he seeded progressive causes. He seeded trans rights and he seeded ICE to Ben Shapiro very easily. He's fumbled on Israel big time and he's a huge corporate donor. receives a lot of PAC money, and he has said that he will not tax billionaires. All of these things are very unpopular with Democrats at large, specifically with this group of people that feel homeless in the America Two Party system.
so from hassan's perspective here he's like i'm going to vote third party because he doesn't see any difference in uh the help for marginalized people he sees one person that campaigns is slightly liberal yet takes all of the same money from these corporate packs and so online The liberals have completely wet the bed and they're going after Hassan two and a half years out from a general election and are trying to pigeonhole him and that he's a terrible American and, you know, all of this could be his fault, which is insane. If we look at historically what's been happening in American politics, Bernie started beating this drum.
