One of the reasons that I’ve left the Party is because of such disingenuous shit like what AOC did. Really, they need men and are tired of pearl clutching? Then why won’t she go on Bill Maher, the ultimate established anti-establishment person in American politics, who literally had a show with the words politically incorrect in the title? The answer is that Maher’s authenticity skews towards liking Jews.
With her comments and faux “chill bro”attitude is that it very conveniently only applies to the Jews. I haven’t seen her attach herself to anyone who has views on race, colonialism or sex/gender that differ from her own let alone are considered extremely hostile to those other communities. She has previously demanded that Jews should give up some of their power in American to other minorities in order to demonstrate our worthiness in the coalition of the future. It’s not surprising that she ended up at “can’t you all just sit back and take a joke, Jews?”
A call to Democrats to get up and fight for decency! MADA, Make America Decent Again! Jew Hatred is not decent. Socialism is not decent. Hassan Piker is not decent. Mayor Mamdani is not decent. AOC is not decent. Senator Sanders is not decent. They have all stirred the pot of Jew hatred for votes and influence. They attack creativity and innovation, the sources of wealth creation. They demonize the Jewish state. They know that socialism will impoverish millions of people in the United States. They know that if Israel falls eight million Jews will be massacred. They are indecent.
MADA!
While prostitution may be the oldest profession in the world, antisemitism may be the oldest and most persistent form of racism in human history. People who prostitute themselves to the antisemitic anti-American provocateur Hassan Piker for votes are shameless and deserve not the support of the Democratic party.
Stand with Ritchie Torres, Van Jones,
Hakeem Jeffries and John Fetterman against the scourge of antisemitism that has infected the Democrat Party.
I hope you don’t get tired of me saying another excellent piece with the wish it would be published in mainstream environments (or, at least, submitted to them).
A small but, I think, important clarification re “El-Sayed won on the strength of young, college-educated progressives, the coalition Democrats already own.” He won by the slimmest of margins (still far more than it should have been for myriad and what should be obvious reasons). I would add to the description of those who voted for him they did not represent the very people the DSA claims to care about, namely the “working” class and people trying to break the poverty cycle. That fact is a very important one as it means those people see through the DSA’s performative BS and do NOT feel represented by these smug, obsessive, entitled and patronizing hypocrites.
Another side thought: The DSA made a big deal about the money invested in AES’s opponent by AIPAC (and Jews by referring to Jews as “them” and “their money”). Interestingly, in their antisemitic myopic obsessiveness, they did not mention anyone else who supported his opponent as though it was only Jews - and yet he barely won. Had they lost, they would have blamed the Jews, too. And if Jews had not invested in fighting the good fight, they would have said, “See? He’s not so bad. Even the Jews didn’t object.” That’s how antisemitism functions.
Your word deliver such an important message. Piker is a very sick man. I hope he gets the psychiatric help he desperately needs. And I hope our Democratic progressives stop encouraging him on his current path.
Is there data representing first time voters? Including the indifferent, politically ignorant, or simply unable to comprehend the mystifying process of elections? Non English speakers; new Americans who immigrated from dictatorship regimes or were ineligible to vote; middle-aged supporters of families feeling disillusioned, or intimidated?
And young voters totally undecided as they’ve yet to pay attention to interviews or podcasts and are blind to posters and billboards?
And anyone sipping an espresso, choosing a candidate en route to vote, based on whomever seemed “cool”? All valid voters. Any statistics, data, and most importantly, how can they be reached?
The point, purpose, and intent of "political parties" was never "moral clarity“.
It was solely to gather as many "votes" from "voters" as possible.
During that past brief era of apparent abundance and „wealth", people could—or chose to—cling to illusions like "the best option wins the most voters“. It was kind of a choice between two well-working detergents, Pepsi or Coke, McD or Burger King.
Yet, the inherent contradictions and structural fault lines were always glaringly obvious: the aim was supposedly to "convince" as many "voters" as possible, while simultaneously being forbidden from actually "saying" quite many things that „don´t belong to this party“.
"Political parties"—and indeed the entire so-called "free" "Western" society, not just the parties themselves—are riddled with self-defeating contradictions.
People act as though they are striving for "honesty," "doing the right thing," and "electability," yet the only thing actually permitted is what is "sayable" at any given moment.
This merely repeats the pattern everyone has been conditioned to view as "normal" since childhood: how can one learn "honesty" and "sincerity" when one is taught to "obey" one's parents to get their „Love“? „Give the nice hand to the Uncle“.
How can one truly learn when success depends so heavily on "pleasing" the "teachers" to get "good grades"?
And so on.
And then, „later“, everyone is „wondering“ and „horrified“ about so many cases of „misuse“.
There is room only for those who bring their „suitable" space with them. But never their own.
Consequently, the "established parties" have conditioned themselves out of the very behaviours—and bound themselves by "language guidelines"—that would have enabled them to take aggressive, ruthless action against the likes of Hassan Piker or Mamdummy.
Through their "language guidelines," "prohibitions," and insistence on "proper decorum," they have forfeited every opportunity to dismantle and defeat the Hassan Pikers of the world.
The Hassan Pikers are simply acting out what the sanctimonious, highly "respectable“ conformist and language-policing alpha figures have unlearned and smoothed away—and what "the youth" simply suffer under, hates and finds disgusting..
They find all this hypocrisy, all this "decency" and "conformity," absolutely sickening.
And rightly so.
And so, they fall for those who defy all these "language rules“.
They „don´t care“ if their language is one of rapers : they have never learned to distinguish such language between and under all that persuasive „proper“ directives.
The only way to successfully counter this is to finally cast aside the hypocritical, performative discourse style of the "conformist" and "respectable" set, and to meet the even more deceitful and dangerous lies of the likes of Hassan Piker, Mamdummy, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Bernie Sanders, and the brat pack rest, would be using their own tactics and/or „(false-)emotional“ language—thereby paving the way for the truth and attacking the blatant, shameless lies of these figures with equal force, with REAL and RIGHTFUL emotion.
But exactly this has dramatically been unlearned.
It would be quite simple if people still knew what it *feels* like to be honest—to sense the righteous, justified anger against these inciters of the public, to allow oneself to feel it, and to give it vehement expression.
But the "establishment" has long since lost that ability; they have long since replaced genuine honest FEELING with robotic linguistic mechanics.

They lost young men by focusing inordinate energy on telling them how bad they are.

Agree with you entirely. AOC’s stance is indefensible.
We'lll find out what's real and what's imaginary in November.
Excellent Hen
