US Political News and Views

Come on, man. I could play the same game with Alex Jones. The guy pushed the claim that 9/11 was an inside job. But I don't go around pretending he speaks for all Republicans.

So why should Hasan be treated as the spokesperson for all Democrats? The guy spends a good chunk of his time criticizing what he calls corporate Democrats. He has influence with a relatively small progressive wing, but turning him into the poster child for the entire Democratic Party just isn't based on reality.

Can you show me examples of prominent Democrats, outside of the final days of the election campaign, denouncing Piker?

Piker is absolutely saying the quiet parts out loud. Further, I find it hilarious his criticism of "corporate Democrats" when he himself is reportedly worth $34M.

Mainstream Democrats are deathly afraid of Piker and the rest of the DSA wing of the party.

A real quote about the DSA from Reddit:

Dsa is so far the most successful socialist organization in the US. But we are still in our infancy. Even though we’ve won some high profile elections we still don’t have the power to make real systemic changes. For example, Zohran is mayor but he’s surrounded by a hostile city council, a hostile state government, hostile federal government, hostile DA, and a straight up mutinous NYPD that has a good chance of assassinating him. We need to expand and build a foundation of institutional power and expertise to support our electeds.
