Hasan Piker says Democrats must ‘do the unthinkable’ to keep the ‘anti-fascist’ coalition that won the election

3 days 9 hours ago


Controversial Marxist influencer Hasan Piker was granted a platform on PBS to lob more attacks at the Democratic establishment and map out the democratic socialist plan.

Piker claimed the midterm massacre of Republicans bolstered support for the far-left wing of the party in an interview with Amy Goodman on "Democracy Now!"

'They have to follow through on their just and righteous desires. We have to, of course, scale back on endless militarism all around the world.'

"I think what happened on Tuesday was the final chapter of MAGA closing after a decade of death and destruction and destabilization. I've thought quite a bit about this," he claimed.

He pointed out that many of the candidates supported by the Democratic Socialists of America had a "phenomenal" night on Election Day. He also blasted the Democratic leadership for trying to characterize some extremist Democrats as moderate and reject the "class warfare" framing preferable to Piker and the DSA.

Piker then offered his plan to ensure the Democrats stamp out what he called the "fascism" of the Republican Party.

"What needs to happen going forward in order to ensure that this defeat of MAGA is permanent, to ensure that there are real consequences for those in positions of power, and to make sure that this truly becomes an anti-fascist coalition, the Democrats have to do the unthinkable," he said.

"They have to listen to the demands of their voters. They have to follow through on their just and righteous desires. We have to, of course, scale back on endless militarism all around the world," Piker added.

"Another demand that voters have made very clearly a big part of the reason why this election was such a wipeout of Republicans across the board was not just because of the gas prices but also because of the Iran war," he said.

Piker went on to say he would marshal the "forces" necessary to hold Democrats accountable if they don't follow through on their promises.

Later in the interview, Piker said he would back Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) if he ran to lead the U.S. Senate.

"Bernie Sanders could run for anything he wants to, and I would support him," he said. "But yes, I think Bernie Sanders is far more reflective of the wishes of the Democratic base of support."

He pointed out that current Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) were deeply unpopular despite being at the helm during the massive Democratic midterm success.

DOUBLE WIN! Colorado bans gender surgeries for minors, protects girls' sports

3 days 10 hours ago


Colorado has voted in favor of two propositions that progressives say will result in more "hate" in the state.

For others, they will ban barbaric gender-related operations on minors and keep girls' sports teams for girls only.

'No one ... becomes transgender on a whim.'

Proposition 135 was fairly straightforward and asked voters to decided whether they support a ban on gender-related procedures for minors.

Voting "yes" on the proposition meant prohibiting health care professionals from "performing or providing surgeries to individuals under age 18 for the purpose of altering biological sex characteristics," while prohibiting state and federal funds and insurance coverage from paying for such procedures.

A "no" vote opposed all of the above.

Coloradoans voted in favorite of banning the procedures, with 52% of them voting "yes" on the proposition, according to NBC News.

Proposition 135 in Colorado had a lot of money pumped into the campaign, specifically for the "no" vote.

According to Ballotpedia, campaign finance figures showed that more than $4.4 million was contributed to the "no" campaign, versus just over $215,000 for the "yes" campaign.

Before the vote, 27 states already had laws or policies restricting gender-related surgeries for minors, according to KFF.

Many coastal states, including California and New York, do not have restrictions on such operations.

As expected, progressives were against the proposition, with activist groups like GLAAD calling that proposition, along with another ballot proposition to require separating school sports by gender, "anti-LGBTQ ballot measures."

At the same time, Colorado Sun columnist Mario Nicolais said that passing the measures would make Colorado a "hate state."

Nicolais said that the propositions should not be passed because "the transgender community has been singled out." "No one of any age becomes transgender on a whim," he wrote. "No one does so just to play sports."

The proposition to keep "people with male reproductive systems" off of female school sports teams in Colorado, Proposition 134, also won, by a slightly higher margin: 52.3% to 47.7%.
