He somehow seems to think, still, that he can shape the Democrats. "If I thought there was a viable 3rd party do you think I would be voting for them? Fuck no" he says, after scolding someone in his chat, calling them an ultra, for calling him out for his continued connection to the democrats.
But lets think about this for a second...
how the fuck
do you build
a fucking party
do you do it by voting for, another party
do you do it by telling people to vote for another party
or do you do it by building A FUCKING WORKING CLASS PARTY
LIKE FUCKING LENIN SAID
I don't really understand what Hasan thinks these Democrats are supposed to "DO" in this situation. "They're not DOING it!" he yells. What is "IT"? Go against their class interests, defy the fundamental laws of capital and somehow break free of their social relations through pure force of will? His proximity to the Democratic Party is what breeds this weird fucking obsession he has.
"These guys are mad because they talk to ME and not their Pedo sex cult leader, that's why they're mad". What if they didn't talk to you, though? What if tomorrow they just stopped talking to you at all? What if the only reason they talk to you AT ALL is that they know that you have a huge fucking audience, and you are actually effective at moving people to the left? So instead, they give you cookies and treats, they give you access and interviews, they let you into the DNC, they give you access to candidates, like Zoran.
I really do think at this point, that he is being catfished by the Democratic Party. That they understand that he is an effective communicator, and they have somehow convinced him that if he just keeps at it, he can one day kick that football for real.
The DSA thesis is called the "dirty break" which is the majority position. It means building and planning for a break from the Democratic Party. DSA has realignment advocates who want to move the democrats left. This is a popular position, especially among new people, but it is a clear minority. there used to be a lot of "clean break" tendencies, they fizzled out because their analysis quickly proved tdid,e irrelevant.
DSA is preparing for a break from the dems, the majority is very strongly against the democrats. But social movements are uneven and combined. The democrats dont have any mechanism for enforcing party discipline, they can't actually ban DSA members from registering as a democrat. They can pull some dirty tricks, and in some places they can prevent people from running on the democratic party line. But elections are handled on the state level, so the rules are different everywhere.
They can block action politically, but they can't do shit if they are out-organized. There are successes like Zohran Mamdani, but there are failures like when Las Vegas DSA took over the Nevada democratic central committee, and the party just moved all the money out of the accounts and shut them out of politics altogether.
Flattening DSA into an org with a singular perspective is a wildly incorrect way to view us. We are a democratic org, we have minority and majority positions, anyone can propose a change to the org, and in some ways, participating in DSA means struggling to change it. The Dem party realignment advocates, reflective of the original org but changed dramatically since 2015, are a minority but they also make up the largest tendency in NYC DSA, the largest and most electorally successful chapter in the USA.
There are now over 100000 members in good standing, and growing. DSA is committed to becoming the worker's party, we actually passed a resolution to that effect in 2025. Imo, we are THE primary vehicle for class struggle against capitalism. That doesn't mean we are perfect or have it all figured out. Its a mess, the org shouldn't function, and yet we do.
Everyone in the org knows that the dems will kick us out where they can, but where they haven't shows where they actually can't. If youve never tried to enforce party discipline or expulsion conditions where there previously wasnt any, it's very difficult. People really don't like it. Expelling DSA would be a boon for DSA imo, and the Democratic party knows this. They would never win another big election if they did, and would instantly create the largest USAmerican socialist party of all time.
