Hasan says he won't vote for Newscum. He attempts to explain himself. He invokes Lenin. He says Democrats would kill you for more votes. He says he will work with Democrats... (www.youtube.com)

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.

The strategy Hasan is arguing for is to create a party like organization that runs on the Democratic Party line. The point is not to rely on Democratic Party infrastructure or to do entryism. I’m pretty confident Hasan doesn’t believe the Democratic Party can be reformed. Rather he’s just arguing that running in bourgeoisie elections is next to impossible in the US on a third party ballot line.

This is basically the strategy that I believe most of the DSA endorses. The problem is the DSA doesn’t have the necessary infrastructure or consensus to act like a real party and discipline their candidates. That’s not the same problem as the one you’re describing though.
