Donald Trump is leading a deeply corrupt, fascist administration that seeks to punish and imprison his enemies – big and small, real and perceived. The unpopular president and his team are laying the groundwork to try to steal the 2026 midterms, and they’re not even trying to hide it.
Democrats in Washington, meanwhile, are hyper-focused on… condemning a left-wing podcaster, Hasan Piker, and distorting his comments criticizing Zionists as a way to marginalize and block the rise of anti-Israel voices on the left.
With less than 10 weeks to go before the election, the opposition party is using this crucial time to demonstrate their continued fealty to Israel – despite its deep and growing political unpopularity in the U.S., its horrifying genocide in Gaza, and the ruinous Iran war that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu dragged America’s idiot president into.
It makes me livid that the danger Hasan is pointing to is real and yet centrist Dems can’t even handle the subject being brought up without having performative meltdowns.
It’s insane that multiple sitting senators are going after Hasan using a made up, right-wing smear. El Sayed’s opponent is a Trump loyalist and a monster. It shows where the priorities are. Hasan isn’t even the one running for fucking office. Meanwhile, the future speaker of the house is meeting with Trump’s fucking son-in-law to find “common ground.” They also gave a Zionist a spot on the foreign affairs committee, signaling that the party is still pro-genocide.
The midterm elections are months away and democratic leadership is demonstrating, once again, that they’d rather cooperate with fascists than fight them. I don’t know how many signs there have to be for people to realize that the people who accept millions from the same far-right donors are, in fact, working against us. It’s so clear that Schumer and Jeffries are throwing this thing and HAVE been throwing it for years now. They do not give a fuck if they fail in November. But yeah, the twitch streamer who is canvassing for candidates and galvanizing the youth vote is the problem lmao.
The icing on the cake is that what Hasan said is true, no matter how uncomfortable of a fact it is. The conflation of Judaism with the ongoing atrocities committed in the name of Zionism is dangerous for all Jews. And all the people condemning Hasan over that statement are perpetuating that danger. Jews are not a monolith and Israel does not speak on their behalf.
