The Dems need to take control of the message, and keep it laser-focused on the real issues, and not let MAGAs hijack it with their propaganda and nonsense.
So here’s the problem, Hasan’s community were instrumental in the election of Zorhan Mamdani and Abdul El-Sayed. Hasan is successfully pushing those issues which you and I agree are the real issues. The Democratic Party establishment is siding with MAGA against Hasan because they don’t want to address those issues; anymore than MAGA wants to address those issues.
Hasan represents what it looks like when those real issues push their way into the mainstream from the outside. That’s why they’re misrepresenting his positions. Anybody who pushes their way in on the real issues will get the same pushback from the DNC and republicans that Hasan has gotten.
Biden didn’t pass Medicare for all, he said he would veto it.
When the DNC had the opportunity to pass progressive legislation in the 2020-2022 cycle they hid behind the senate parliamentarian — an unelected bureaucrat.
Democrats aren’t on our side, they will only act as much as we force them to act, Hasan is not a perfect person but he is rhetorically skilled, and he has successfully leveraged those skills to begin to force their hand. That’s why they’re attacking him.
I do recomend you watch some the mainstream media interviews with him that have recently done the rounds. Because though he is at the center of this controversy, its not really about him.
