He somehow seems to think, still, that he can shape the Democrats. "If I thought there was a viable 3rd party do you think I would be voting for them? Fuck no" he says, after scolding someone in his chat, calling them an ultra, for calling him out for his continued connection to the democrats.
But lets think about this for a second...
how the fuck
do you build
a fucking party
do you do it by voting for, another party
do you do it by telling people to vote for another party
or do you do it by building A FUCKING WORKING CLASS PARTY
LIKE FUCKING LENIN SAID
I don't really understand what Hasan thinks these Democrats are supposed to "DO" in this situation. "They're not DOING it!" he yells. What is "IT"? Go against their class interests, defy the fundamental laws of capital and somehow break free of their social relations through pure force of will? His proximity to the Democratic Party is what breeds this weird fucking obsession he has.
"These guys are mad because they talk to ME and not their Pedo sex cult leader, that's why they're mad". What if they didn't talk to you, though? What if tomorrow they just stopped talking to you at all? What if the only reason they talk to you AT ALL is that they know that you have a huge fucking audience, and you are actually effective at moving people to the left? So instead, they give you cookies and treats, they give you access and interviews, they let you into the DNC, they give you access to candidates, like Zoran.
I really do think at this point, that he is being catfished by the Democratic Party. That they understand that he is an effective communicator, and they have somehow convinced him that if he just keeps at it, he can one day kick that football for real.
i think it would be fair to describe his average articulated political position to be a non-aligned ML.
but that's what i mean, why do you think the news himbo should be the singular guy to do that? he was in support of a break from the democratic party led by bernie, and bernie is a coward who didn't do it. i don't think it's a fair read or accurate read of his commentary to see him as hitched to the democratic party in a substantive way. are you in a revolutionary org in the u.s., are you familiar with how ignorant and completely unconscious almost every single person here is? he's doing political commentary in a country that is still predominantly obsessed with VOTEing as the end all be all of political action - what would be the benefit of not covering it? again, i'm not without my own criticisms of the guy, i just don't understand what yours actually is. do you think he has a communism button that he's not pressing?
