no, i am implying that of the two parties, the democrats are the closest

So what? They’re still extremely far away and their ideology (Liberalism) is completely incompatible with Hasan’s (Marxist-Leninism).

There is 0 incentive for Democrats to include someone like Hasan in their coalition.

ok?

so what?

again, they are spending more effort into attack someone who is the representative of the left pull off the democratic base.

instead of doing their fucking job.

it is clear that democrats want the same things as republicans, but are not as brazen. they don’t want to interface with a youtuber cool fine whatever, i don’t really care.

but they ignore the progressive pull at their own peril. it is already proved that they no longer have the leverage to demand a conservative democrat as a candidate and actually win elections.

  By what metric? Sounds like you’re just mad that Democrats rightfully don’t want to include someone in their movement who’s core ideology is completely incompatible.

    i don’t care at all about Hasan. he’s not running for office, he is just some face that is saying more progressive talking points, and is getting screen time for it.
    
    if your TRUE argument is that the progressive base ideology is incompatible with the establishment democrat position… then yes i agree.
    
    at that point, the democrats have a choice. they make concessions with their own fucking base or voter apathy rises. they already failed in an election with hitler, and their key take away was that they need to meet the republican voter where he stands. they can do that with out me. but i doubt they can do that and win an election.
    
    when trump violates human rights, schumer wags his finger and sends a polite rebuke.
    
    when a progressive candidate runs, the entire establishment pulls out their wallet and evey under handed bullshit to undermine their own party!
    
    when progressive ideals pass on a state level ballot, they sue to stop it.
    
    so fuck them

    Any evidence that voter apathy due to the Dems not being ML enough is costing them elections?
