Glowie and Capy discuss the recent Hasan–Gavin Newsom discourse and the wave of backlash, slander, and online “psyop” style narratives targeting Hasan and anyone unwilling to fall in line behind Democratic Party figures.

The conversation also explores the role of elections in bourgeois democracies, the campaigns aimed at “never Kamala” or anti-Democrat leftists, the ongoing argument for harm reduction, the contradictions of pro-Democrat leftists, and the understanding that the American political system itself is fundamentally unfixable.

In this episode we cover:

• Democrat orbiter and defender @reactionary_leftist and their various insufferable TikTok posts.
• Framing Hasan and his supporters as conspiratorial or antisemitic. Is Hasan antisemitic?
• The attempt to police criticism of Israel and liberal politicians.
• What is harm reduction and do the Democrats actually engage in harm reduction? Harm reduction for who?.
• Conflating Israel and Judaism is antisemetic.
• The reason why it seems like leftists criticize the Democrats more than the Republicans.
• Pro-Democrat "leftists" don't actually support Palestine.
• The communist position on bourgeois parliaments: what’s the point, why run candidates, and what Vladimir Lenin had to say on the matter.
• “Vote blue no matter who” arguments, including claims that Democrats are meaningfully better than Republicans and that leftists are responsible for Republican victories.
• The idea that leftists who didn’t vote for Kamala are responsible for ICE.
• The framing of communists and proletarian revolution as unrealistic or “rapture-like.”
• Why revolutions haven't occurred in the USA and the imperial-core and a discussion on imperialism, the luxury afforded to the US population, and the labor-aristocracy.
• The claim that Democrats “follow Republicans” because leftists refuse to support them, and how blame is shifted onto anti-electoral or critical voters.
• Liberal "criticisms" of ICE.
