Reminder that Hasan just did an interview with the modern day der sturmer and condemned October 7th. He’s a Zionist.

Chris

Yelled “Roth!” so loudly that neighborhood cats started yowling

Klemke

They're Corbyning the fuck out of Hasan when all he wants to do is sheepdog for the Dem party. And to think he spent so much time centering antisemitism this past few years, you'd think he'd be their ideal model. But nope. It's hard to feel sympathetic. All this energy and talent from the the American left being dumped into the project of pushing a party that exists specifically to prevent the left from gaining power. Diluting the messaging, demurring from concrete goals, tolerating or even embracing candidates like Platner and Lander. Doesn't seem good!

The whole Piker saga is a great illustration of the way that political propaganda and character assassination works in the U.S. You can see these attacks are taking on a toll on him, which is part of the entire purpose of these attacks. Very sleazy stuff. Some of it definitely looks like it crosses a line into defamation as well. However, the fundamental issue is the absolutely insane shit that the state of Israel does on a daily basis. If supporters of Israel don't get a handle on that problem -- and I am doubtful they will be able to, because it is a "lunatic society" -- they are just dealing with symptoms by policing the narrative in the U.S. As far as El-Sayed goes, out of all of the Obama-imitators he is the one who goes hardest. Piker is his "reverend Wright". His rhetorical style is the closest in spirit and vibes. I think he is genuinely sincere about some issues -- single-payer, military funding for Israel -- but he reminds me a lot of Obama in the worst ways. e.g.. one big early test of Obama from a policy perspective was telecom immunity, related to mass surveillance post 9/11. Obama had campaigned for reversal of Bush era excesses, he won the party nomination, but in the summer of 2008 at a point where he was positioned to win the general election, he still opted to give telecom companies legal liability on an issue of concern to the left. If you're in Michigan you still gotta vote El-Sayed, but do it with your eyes open. The problems are structural, not strictly about individuals. The kind of politicians who are able to resist the pressure and stay true, are incredibly rare ones, and they are going to tend to be people who come out of political movements and have demonstrated a willingness in previous elected offices to resist pressure.

Didn't he say he would choose Hamas over Israel every single time? I do think its ok to be critical of a paramilitary group. My family in Ireland have their criticisms of the IRA but all of them completely understand why it was necessary for them to take arms against England. Doesn't mean they're pro-English occupation of Northern Ireland lol

After the thing with Matt (whatever happened there), and Kath going down with Berkshire vulture rabies, what I was thinking was three mics, like a tri-umber thing, like Caesar: Felix, Will, and our poker buddy David Roth. Three other podcasts have this type of arrangement.

When Roth goes into a sports analogy it’s like watching LeBron dribbling into a LeFuckYou three—it shouldn’t work but every time it does.

Reminds me of those chuds who enjoy Star Trek, up until people online clue them into the obvious liberal-left utopian themes, at which point they desperately cast it as somehow right-leaning or apolitical.

Jake

i think it sounds crazy to say people should just run as a democrat who hates the party against the entire institution, rather than just starting a new electoral party. I think americans see the american greens and think that every third party would get them that exact same result

No. She just thinks I’m funny and cute.

Matelda

I love you but you're wildly exaggerating El-Sayed's capitulation. He didn't denounce Hasan, he didn't ask for mercy for anything to do with Hasan, he issued a broad statement against threats and he went to a MI Jewish community to apologize for his own (questionable, but whatever) insensitivity after a synagogue attack. He frames this as a plea for solidarity between people of minority faiths such as himself. He just went on the Breakfast Club and defended Hasan. And he said, to answer a Michigan Jewish voter's question, that he wouldn't fund the Iron Dome even to "protect" her kids on vacation, he isn't backing down from that. NOBODY in Michigan wants him to say "There might be something wrong with Jewish people." I hate to be like this, but you really are in a crazy bubble if you think that sounds like a better idea. He is the closest thing we've had to a Democrat fighting bad faith exactly the way you're asking for. That hasn't really changed, so please wait until he loses or really does betray the cause to get so nihilistic. This is a possible hinge point. It's not over. Which side are you on?

Michael

I think Al-Sayed wins for the same reason Mamdani did. He’s focusing on how everything’s too expensive. The focus on Israel and “antisemitism” didn’t move voters in NYC and I doubt will move them in Michigan. Supporting Israel on the other hand drives away voters in droves, see Harris 2024.

.

Don’t worry the rich Brooklyn podcasters who put out mid vaguely left content are just defending another rich podcaster/streamer whose building a cult of personality from disaffected mostly white college grads who have 20k+ student debt and have to work in warehouses and are mad about it. I’m not even some Abdul lover. He’s probably the best of the best as far as electoralism but people need to think about where this type of criticism is coming from, from people who get to put out six hour long shows on fucking video gaming. It’s pathetic.

The war of the unemployable against the employed will continue primarily because the employed cannot take time off of work to fight back. This is no joke. Only the unemployable have time to swarm DC like they did back on January 6th.

DSA and anti zionist organizations need to select more Black candidates that will staunchly hold to the party values. It's clear by now that there is a lot being left on the table with older Black voters. So if electoralism will be a field of contest you have to use all the weapons you have to win there. No one thing is a guarantee, but many small things in conjunction help.

Are we all learning something about the value of walking back statements and public apologies in a public political framework? It's like pre-ordering games at this point.

Matelda

I'm replying to this comment because it's the #1 most liked & at the top of the comment section to defend Abdul Thought. He has not capitulated the way they are saying. Maybe he will, but he's doing a pretty good job and reports of him capitulating have been greatly exaggerated. Hold the line please & stay on Earth. We don't want him to change tactics to say "maybe Jews are bad by-your-logic," that is fucking crazy.

Mids Advocate

Still waiting on the boys to talk about Genocide Jon Ossoff and how shitty he is. He condemned Hasan too. Seems like they haven’t mentioned him at all since he’s really become the Great White Hope

ur mom

More Roth please

Matelda

I hate Democrats and love podcasts, but they're not always right (crying my eyes out emoji). Abdul might Obungler us someday, who knows, but i think he's better. We still need optimism of the will. Like most of the leftwing leaders that the CIA murdered & imprisoned around the globe to build our modern hellworld, I think he's moderate but sincere. He's the most above-average intellect of anyone who's appeared in US politics in my lifetime. He's an opportunity not to be thrown away. That's what I think.

Klemke

Everyone saw your purely vibes-based defenses and ridiculous strawmen the first time, Matelda. I liked it better when you threw on "which side are you on?" as the cherry on top.

I’ve taken queludes every time Felix has told the Mississippi Burning road trip story and now I pronounce words like annathemma and schizophrannick.

Greg

Felix is so right about how you could do anything in a small town in the 17-1800. I once read that during the napoleonic wars a French ship sunk off the coast of England and the only survivor was a monkey dressed in a French officers uniform. The hayseed townsfolk tried to interrogate the monkey and when he didnt answer their questions, they hung him for being a spy.

Shaun Pallo

Anybody know what the song at the end was sounded nice

Omar Hashem

Zohran is clearly trying to run for president under his wife’s name in 10 years and is making sure to signal to donors he is reasonable at the end of the day. I don’t blame him for endorsing Jefferies ultimately he is very cunning and needed one small move to signal he’ll play ball when the time comes.

Matelda

Klemke, thank you for encouraging me

Sam Zeng

Dems are probably heading towards internal collapse. GOOD !!!

gyogyogyo

No he’s actually a very good one. Radical Zionism is getting 80 or 90 percent ostracized in terms of democratic voters. the enemy we need to confront is the “nice” faces of Israel, the “liberal” zionists, who Hasan and others constantly Shepard people into supporting. Brad lander is a great example, he NEVER divested from Elbit systems and other Israeli terror companies. Yet he’s someone we need to go easy on for his support of Zohran, as Hasan recently said. No, any politician that Only condemns the Israeli government and not the genocidal state that it inherently is, is not good enough. Supporting such people only washes Zionism and completely abondons Palestine. Hasan entertaining an interview with Harretz breaking bds, and condemning hamas in the year 2026 is just so ridiculous it’s funny.

The talk towards the end was brilliant, but yeah, as Will said. Hard not to get nihilistic about it in the end.

Nail on head. None of this caveating stuff with how concerned you are about antisemitism will ever work. It will be seen as a point of weakness to attack. Fucking stand on business.

Tyler

Why are they talking about el sayed like this. Hes done none of what they are saying. He's not apologized for hasan or his stance on israel. He's actually recently been defending hasan.

Tyler

Exactly this, don't understand where anything they said abdul is coming from

justdave

I'm replying to this comment because you said you were naked

Henry

Hey guys the stuff you comment here really doesn't matter either way so I wouldn't worry about it

Simon Côté-Massicotte

Did Felix even read/listen to Abdul's statement or did he just read a (wrong) summary of it? Abdul just did an interview where he said that noone should be defined by out of context things that you said a long time ago and that there's a lot of good in what Hasan is saying. I feel like dude's holding the line pretty well and is not grovelling like Felix and David seem to believe he is.

Antoine Desgagnés

DataRepublican seems to fit with the phrase "Elon Musk is an idiot's vision of a smart person". She also reminds me of those two guys who worked for the DOGE and used ChatGPT to cut humanities funding because of DEI...which included denying funding to change HVAC in a museum or to scan old newspapers that were published in German language.

Axel H.

I’m pretty sure most of the people attacking El-Sayed are Zionists and centrists who are freaking out about his pro-Palestine positions, not leftist podcasters, but okay.

Canada is a great story of Third Party ism, there was this thing called the NDP at some point that genuinely seemed like it would challenge the Liberals and become a true left alternative and today after 15 years of tacking to the center and trying to become mainstream it's back to being a nonfactor

As true as that statement might be, you could say the exact same about whatever it is Kshama Sawant is doing right now.

Scott La Londe

Not sure I’d call the first revolutionary socialist democratically elected to public office in about 100 years a leader to graveyards. Someone who until recently was 4/4 in election victories including beating several recall elections against her. Someone who delivered for her constituents: -the nations highest minimum wage in the whole country -the first of its kind Amazon Tax (where the money went to funding low income housing). -and who achieved a host of progressive renters rights that were the first of its kind nationally. I guess since she didn’t make it out of her primary though all those REAL accomplishments for the working class must be invalidated now? How does that work? Do you only get points for selling out the working class?

Jeramie Poe

Someone had the talking points at the ready… When I used the word recently, I meant in recent times. IE the primary. Yeah she was part of some good stuff at the local level (none of which is revolutionary by the way). There was also clearly lots of good organizing going on in Seattle during that time. It probably wasn’t all her.

Cascadia Breadloaf

They need to bring back the Bible stories guy that was the best episode in a while

Cascadia Breadloaf

It's passionless for me I allow him to do it so I can come here and tell you people about it afterward

Scott La Londe

I mean, I just like knowing what I’m talking about. She held elected office as recently as a few years ago and stepped away to work on other things (Workers Strike Back!, a congressional run, etc). I use the word revolutionary because she explicitly states her goal is not to reform capitalism but to overthrow it. Not sure what other word you’d like to use there? Hey, I’m just glad some people can agree she’s doing some “good stuff”. Also, to your point. It was most definitely not about all her. It’s about movements. Movements are what put her in power and movements are what kept her in power.

Michael

Sorry for insulting your queen, but the way you and all her supporters online talk about her, you make it sound like all those accomplishments were “delivered” by her. She might talk about wanting to overthrow capitalism, but the truth is those actual accomplishments you laid out are quite“reformist.” Nothing wrong with that btw. I just simply find people online talking about “revolution” and calling themselves “revolutionaries” to be corny considering the current climate and complete lack of revolutionary political infrastructure.

Scott La Londe

Insulting my queen? Did you miss the part where I just said it’s never been about her but about movements? That’s where power comes from if you’re interested in fighting for socialist values electorally. Her 10 year elected record speaks to just that. Glad we’re talkin in good faith here. Call those accomplishments whatever you want so long as you keep calling them accomplishments.

No question. It is an open question in my mind whether she has figured this out at the level of strategy and tactics. In fairness, I don't think anyone has.

Ebalosus

And it shows two things that anyone nominally leftwing should pay attention to: 1) even if through all your criticisms you still say you'll vote for them because "muh lesser evil," they'll still condemn and disregard you. And 2) tailism and entryism is a massive waste of because of that.

Bubba Ho-Tep

Felix says alien 54:24 minutes in

k v

Al Sayed is already cooked the moment he calls Cuba a dictatorship or Maduro a dictator, let alone walking back to a more moderate take on Israel.

I was saying boo-lania

Those were things that a majority of the council voted on and the mayor signed imto law - Kshama def gets credit for being an early supporter but its disingenuous to suggest she did any of that by herself

I was saying boo-lania

As long as there is a democratic party, it will stifle a third party before it has a chance to tale off. The two parties have entirely designed the media and electoral landscape to do that which is why not just left but right wing third parties don't ever take off. I don't see any other way to defeat both of them other than usurping one of them

Roth not beating the goat allegations 🐐🐐🐐

Scott La Londe

You’re the one being beyond disingenuous if you think I’m gonna let you slide by saying that bs. Kshama had to drag all of the 8 DEMOCRATIC city council members kicking and screaming including 2 different mayoral administrations to get on board with those working class goals. And it was only through YEARS of threatening ballot initiatives and constant protests with working people (including literally inside of City Hall), and with the threat of primarying these people, that any of these things were ultimately accomplished. It was not done overnight nor did ONE SINGLE ELECTED REPRESENTATIVE outside of Kshama support these things from beginning to end. Again, for all the trolls out there tryin to rewrite history-these things were accomplished through MOVEMENTS and constant years of pressure campaigns. To not acknowledge that fact is someone intentionally or ignorantly being disingenuous. It’s never been about her. But the reason people like me sight her so frequently is because she’s unfortunately basically the only example one can point to in contemporary America when it comes to someone who not only talked the talked and walked the walked, but then actually delivered real working class victories.

cody

The broader point was about tactically pushing candidates like AES to not capitulate to liberal disciplining and outrage-mongering but absolutely agree with Matelda because the evidence of his doing that is so thin. His actual statement was very neutral and on-message, we gotta stop taking the bait here, I think more people are probably talking about his performance on Watters which, IMO was a masterclass in the same things he's being criticized for not doing in the ep.

somedongus

make Roth the permanent 3rd mic, I hear he has an opening

Matelda

Axel H, i agree but this is a leftist podcast i listen to. And i am very cynical but also live in Michigan, and Abdul winning is SO important, BECAUSE he will seismically discredit centrist orthodoxy if he does, apology notwithstanding, so it's hard to hear them talk like this. Basically saying it doesn't matter if he wins anymore because he's already so compromised that the narrative will be a wash-- that just isn't true. My parasocial friends are missing the forest on this one, and it hurts my feelings a little bit.

Matelda

James Oakes

Here's how Kshama can still win...

James Oakes

I rarely disagree with Felix but some of his election takes have been really bad this cycle.

Jimmy McMillan

Just imagine if back in the day, Republicans treated Joe Rogan like the the Dems are treating Hassan? I'm not sure if they could flatter Hassan into being their useful idiot puppet the way Trump did with Joe but it was worth trying. Instead they demanded instant conformity and demonized him for not toeing the party line. It's hilarious how incompetent the Democrats and their aligned media are. Their group think has them so stupid that they can't even try to copy a winning strategy

Scott La Londe

Sure I’m a nihilist but at least I sound cool on the internet…

Joe McNiff

I was laid off by DOGE. I saw a lot of these guys up close. Let’s just say, we got rolly backpacks and not a lot of eye contact going on.

James Oakes

Shitting on left leaning candidates that are actually successful sounds more nihilistic to me

Scott La Londe

Oh look, disingenuous boo-whateverthefuck is back with another zinger after failing to address one single thing I previously said. Don’t worry boo, everyone knows you’re actually funny and smart in real life. As for James, I wasn’t speaking nihilistically. The opposite actually. Remember I was the guy giving examples of what success actually looks like. The goal isn’t “winning elections”. The goal is achieving real materially wins for the working class. If you win only to then just capitulate all your morals and beliefs, the end result is a nihilistic and disenfranchised voting base and Donald Trump 2.0. “Until leaders like AOC and Mamdani can make an enemy of Jeffries and every one like him, I fear whatever "movement" they represent will amount to little more than a fart”. -Will Menaker If only I had led with this quote to begin with would we all be wasting our time?

They were just bragging about what a great job Zohran has been doing a couple weeks ago lmfao. I don't entirely agree with Will's tweet either. Some times you just have to learn to pick your battles.

Can’t wait until the boys learn about boobie feaster

I don't think Hasan's biggest concern is how he's perceived by the democrat establishment

DrChristmas

Look, we need to win Michigan. Neither Hillary Clinton nor Kamala Harris spent time during their campaigns denouncing Hasan Piker, and what happened after that? That's right, they both lost Michigan. Can't argue with that logic!

David Roth

Nothing, not even the fact that I've brought it up in every third podcast appearance I've made, will make me stop talking about Dan Pasqua. You'll have to kill me.

Al-Sayed didn't apologise for campaigning with Hasan; he apologised for his "hurt people hurt people" comments after the Michigan synagogue attack. Still not a necessary apology, but vastly different to what you're describing in this episode. Maybe in future you boys might want to show some professional pride and get such load-bearing facts correct before starting on a screed about a candidate's 'questionable judgement'. You claim to admire Hasan's work ethic, Felix, and I can tell you this - he would have made the effort to get the details right

Klemke

Well that's good, because he's blacklisted to all fuck now. Hasan was pretty clear on why he started wearing suits on-stream this past year: he wanted to appear less threatening to an older, more liberal mainstream corporate-media-watching demographic as his national profile rose. He also made reference to being involved with behind-the-scenes aspects of the party itself. Alas...

I came over here from QAA who also have a great episode explaining this with Mark Sommer. I study and teach history, my partner is American but throughout my life I’ve always kept tabs on America because your country has such a profound influence on global politics. The banality of the incompetence of the Trump administration I find to be the most concerning thing. It feels as though these instances just normalise the rest of the abhorrent side show. I mean if this was Nixon or Reagan or the Bushs’ any one of these almost weekly/daily outbursts or revelations would be front page news. These days it’s just part of the rolling tide of turds launched at us daily while migrant workers are hunted on the streets and Marines and Sailors and Airmen eat literal slop because they’re stuck on an aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf and the secretary of war doesn’t know how the massive American logistics system works. I mean I’m not surprised Trump is vision boarding the destruction of Kharg Island and starving Cuba because it is much easier than planning even the dumbest invasion of these countries. No wonder Dick Cheney hated the guy, he doesn’t have the attention span to commit war crimes at scale. Also the NFL-Vice bust is very funny from Scottish/Glaswegian perspective because that guy is also an investor in Glasgow Rangers Football Club. So it was reported on the Scottish News as well.

1. That was Rube Waddell who chased firetrucks, not Dazzy Vance. 2. The fan whom Ty Cobb punched was asking for it.

💯, and Al Gore wouldn't have needed Florida if he had condemned the 9/11 terrorists harder

mexicanhalloween .

just start spicing up the retellings, do some Milo Yiannopolous fabulism to him, put him in fishnets in the cuck chair

Will saying "not to be nihilistic about it" made me lol. Baby, you've been black pilled for awhile. And while I do agree that El-Sayed distancing himself from Hasan is not good, I don't think that's the same as Mamdani and AOC saying they will back Jefferies. I firmly believe both of them hate Jefferies and are playing the long game strategy and there's probably more going on behind the scenes than we know. And while it would be very gratifying to hear them both rip Jeffries a new ahole publicly, they are actually in politics and need to be strategic if they hope to oust him. Every time I start feeling a bit of hope, I listen to Chapo and most of that feeling goes away 😩😭

Actually a good idea, really.

YourBabysFather

Next time you guys just have a chat with AOC you should ask her to her face why she is not stopping herself from becoming the millennial Nancy Pelosi
