Hasan: "Treat me like a Never Trumper"
Virality Score
79/100Transcript
I want the Democratic Party to treat me like a Never Trumper. I want the Democratic Party to treat me like a triple Trump voter. Okay. Why? Turns out that's all they're tuned into. So if that, if what it takes for the Democrats to turn around and be like, wait a minute, we're losing this guy. We have to win him over again or whatever. Instead of just like taking it as they've done so over and over again for the left flank, then, you know, I'm going to say things that may or may not end up being true, but it doesn't matter. We're so far out from the election.

And think about that for a second. I mean, think about that for a minute. If there was ever a time in this country that was better for like a left-wing insurgency, like a left-wing Tea Party, it's right now. It would have been in the last year and a half. The Democrats lost to Donald Trump again. They have historically low approval numbers as a political party. What better time to sweep the country and sweep these primaries and kick all these dinosaurs out than right now? And so why is that not happening? Why is that not happening when he's telling, he's telling everyone who's watching this video that the Democrats should listen to him and go to him for guidance? Why isn't it happening then? Like, what does it say about his movement that it's not happening?

I don't like this. I don't like this. It's not that he has said stupid and offensive things. In fact, if John were to press him on any of the things that John ostensibly thinks is stupid, Hassan would he would not like own any of it. He would never concede, oh, yeah, when I said that thing, it was stupid. He will never say that, but that's not the issue. The issue is his entire belief system and his goals within Democratic Party politics. That's the issue. Not the fact that he said some stupid things after streaming every day for eight hours a day for like six years or seven years or whatever.

Like that's the attitude of the average American about Jewish people. What? What? The average American thinks that? I don't know about that. I mean, maybe.

Where is the evidence that Hassan has been an influential political actor? Like in the discourse, but I'm saying in terms of actual like helping people win elections. How many people that Hassan has endorsed and stumped for and pushed, how many of them have won primaries and then gone on to win generals? And how many of those candidates did so in competitive states or competitive seats? That's what I consider to be real kind of like electoral influence.

When you say you're an anti-Zionist, are you rejecting the premise that a Jewish homeland is a legitimate project at all? Or is your anti-Zionism specifically about the policies and practices of the Israeli state as it exists today? I think Zionism is a fascist ideology. I think this is like a definitional issue for two. Oh, yeah. Obviously. But I do think that there's probably a lot of, I think a lot of probably secular liberals and even secular Jews in this country who think of Zionism as... They do. Like I like the idea of a Jewish homeland and do not think ethno-state, do not think any of that other stuff. And then there's people who, you know, who very much define it as, no, it must always be a Jewish majority state. And if democracy and equal rights come second, then so be it. Yeah. Well, that is what has happened, right? That is which is de facto. That's what we have right now. It's the fact of what we have.

This is not cope. I'm not making this up. This was never a thing ever. This was never a thing. And then people started to make people started to conflate the lack of endorsements from Democrats at the national level. They were conflating that with like, oh, so it's not blue no matter who. But blue no matter who has nothing to do with national Democrats endorsing mayoral candidates. That's not what blue no matter who is. Blue no matter who is just an electoral strategy of voting down ballot. Democrat down ballot. On election day, when you show up to vote, you're voting for the Democrat down ballot. You can make a strategic argument for why it would have been better or smarter for Schumer to endorse Momdani to just say, eh, fuck it. You know what? He's the guy, whatever.

What lesson are we teaching Americans? We're teaching them that every Jewish person demonstrates dual loyalty, which is false. It's a trope. It's a lie. It's not true. But that's what we're teaching people. And we're also teaching people that everything that Israel does, it does for Jews. Every time we call Israel the Jewish state, that's what we're doing. That's what we're teaching regular Americans. So I try to combat those forces on a daily basis.

That's my understanding. Have I been using that word wrong for years? Oh God, please don't. Fuck you. I've been using it right.
