Typical YouTube dramatic thumbnail. Sanders does definitely talk about Gaza in this, but also US politics in general and comparisons to other nations as well.

I thought this one was good, the beginning is kinda a bit, but then a lot of points are discussed.

Sanders is around the same age as my own father but his politics are so different.

Also, IMO, fair points on why we should vote a certain way in upcoming election, but that there's continuing work to do beyond that.

I asked Bernie Sanders about a Gaza Ceasefire |

Hasan Minhaj

Hasan Minhaj's latestest interview with Bernie Sanders

[spockwithacat]

Bernie and AOC starting off their tour with meeting Hasan Piker. They still suck I see. Good luck AOC with any future politics outside of deep blue bubble I’m sure meeting with Hasan “America deserves 9/11” Piker will go over well with them.

Kamala Harris herself has now borrowed Walz’s lingo and is also calling her opponents “weird”, while Walz is all over our television screens, bolstering the vice-president’s candidacy and playing “attack dog” against the Trump/Vance Republican ticket. I’ll be honest: last month, I would have struggled to pick Walz out of a lineup. This month? I’m Walz-pilled. I have watched dozens of his interviews and clips. And I’m far from alone. He has an army of new fans across the liberal-left: from former Bernie Sanders 2020 campaign co-chair Nina Turner, to one-time Democratic congressman Beto O’Rourke, to gun-control activist David Hogg. “In less than 6 days, I went from not knowing who Tim Walz is,” joked writer Travis Helwig on X, “to deep down believing that if he doesn’t get the VP nod I will storm the capitol.” According to Bloomberg, the Harris campaign has narrowed down its “top tier” of potential running mates to three “white guy” candidates: Walz (hurrah!), plus the Arizona senator Mark Kelly and Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro. Both Kelly and Shapiro have their strengths – and both represent must-win states for the Dems. Allow me, however, to make the clear case for Walz. First, there’s his personality. The 60-year-old governor would bring energy, humor and some much-needed bite to the Democratic presidential ticket. There’s a reason why his videos have been going viral in recent days. Tim Kaine he ain’t. Pick the charismatic and eloquent Walz and you have America’s Fun Uncle ready to go. Then, there’s his résumé. A popular midwest governor from a rural town. A 24-year veteran of the army national guard. A high school teacher who coached the football team to its first state championship. It’s almost too perfect! Finally, there’s his governing record. You will struggle to find a Democratic governor who has achieved more than Walz in the space of a single legislative session. Not Shapiro. Not JB Pritzker of Illinois. Not even Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan. [...] Think about it. Democrats can have Tim Walz on the ticket, who called the anti-war, pro-Palestinian ‘uncommitted’ movement “civically engaged” and praised them for “asking for a change in course” and “for more pressure to be put on” the White House, or they can have Josh Shapiro, who called for a crackdown on anti-war, pro-Palestinian college protesters and even compared them to the KKK. They can have Walz on the ticket, who has reportedly “emerged among labor unions as a popular pick” after signing “into law a series of measures viewed as pro-worker” including banning non-compete agreements and expanding protections for Amazon warehouse workers, or they can have Mark Kelly, who opposed the pro-labor Pro Act in the Senate (but has since touted support for it). They can have Walz, who guaranteed students in Minnesota not just free breakfasts but free lunches, or Shapiro, who has courted controversy in Pennsylvania with his support for school vouchers. They can have Walz, who calls his Republican opponents “weird” and extreme, or Kelly, who calls his Republican opponents “good people” who are “working really hard”. This isn’t rocket science. Walz is the obvious choice. Not only is he the ideal “white guy” running mate for Harris, against both Trump and Vance, but he is already doing the job on television and online, lambasting Vance in particular over IVF treatment and insisting he mind his “own damn business”.

Zeteo News founder Mehdi Hasan for The Guardian on why picking Tim Walz as Kamala Harris's running mate is the best option (07.29.2024).

Zeteo News founder Mehdi Hasan wrote in The Guardian why Tim Walz should be Kamala Harris’s running mate. Hasan’s opinion piece is worth reading.

I mainly follow people like Holding Dems Accountable From the Left and Hasan and they're saying that Kamala lost because she didn't listen to her base and courted republicans instead. I assumed that was true and was also very conflicted about voting for Kamala given her actions against Palestine but did end up voting for her.

But recently I stumbled on some leftist people, including you, who seem to be saying differently and are actually blaming people who didn't vote instead. So I was wondering if you agree with Hasan that the dem party fucked up really bad and honestly bernie sanders in 2020 or anyone else would've won trump in a landslide.

If you look at the numbers, about 15 million people who voted for Biden in 2020 did not show up in 2024. Trump's number's stayed mostly the same, but Harris just didn't have the turnout.

Now we also see from polling that the vast majority of leftists did vote for Harris. And while I still have a bone to pick with the ones who didn't, they weren't the major factor this time around.

Because, let's be honest, our politics aren't popular enough to make up for the 15 million missing voters. Some of this was voter disenfranchisement, but these are people who largely just didn't show up to the polls. These are the apathetic masses who were energized in 2020 because of Trump's fumbling of the pandemic who just didn't give a shit enough about what happens to anyone else to vote.

That's why my anger is largely for Trump supporters and people who voluntarily did not vote.

A lot of people looking at the numbers are ignoring this though, and just looking at percentages -- or overestimating the popularity of their positions -- and are grandstanding to make their own political point.

But the math just doesn't work for that.

ngl if you called cory booker’s twenty five hour senate speech detailing all the harm donald trump has done to suffering americans performative but still suck bernie “leftists’ human rights champion” sanders who does the same thing except bashes dems every chance he does (while also needing that voting base whenever he wants to run for office) and also weirdly enough not getting anything fucking done while in office, I’m going to call you anti-black LMAOOO SORRY. sanders, who also hangs around that freak hasan piker, too. if you’re going to lie about what dems can and cannot do (and still make republican action equivalent to dems work), I’m going to call you a weirdo. if you’ve been screaming about how you want dems to idk steal executive orders off a table and run off and you disliked booker being a mouthpiece of american frustration- I’m not going to take you seriously. we’re in a full out trade war right now, and people on this site saying well, we have no way of knowing if kamala would have done the same- you are anti black LMAOOOOO

[dostoyevsky-official]

one of the people on harris' campaign, DNC finance committee member and DNC content creator lindy li, was infamous for going on air in 2020 and saying she'd rather vote trump as president instead of bernie in an argument with a bernie surrogate. in an act of incredible foreshadowing, that interview was hosted by mehdi hasan and the bernie surrogate who said she'd vote for biden was linda sarsour, a palestinian-american

Hasan gifting Bernie Sanders a tiny toy train was so cute... he's so precious... we need to protect him at all costs, you don't understand...!!!!!

More cancellable thoughts incoming while we wait for our turn at this SSA office

Ok so the AOC/Bernie online gas machine is starting up in a big way

Bernie has repeatedly demonstrated that he will chase after what we all have decided is the "white working class" demo (thor voice but is it though dot gif) like ok at least its white. And male! Largely.

I can't wait to be lectured to about how we need to tone down the "idpol" (read: civil rights) and i just need to suck it up in order to defeat the fascists FROM THE SAME PEOPLE WHO CALLED ME ZIONIST SCUM AND REFUSED TO LOOK OUT FOR ANY PART OF THE COALITION for daring to point out that Kamala Harris is the best choice for president. lol.

That being said, do I want to see where this goes? Yes.

Do I want Dems to fall for the same mistakes (thinking that Bernie can lead these guys into the greater democratic tent without immediately pushing out black women and jewish voters) NO!!!! when will we learn!!!!

If Bernie and AOC for that matter want to make meaningful strides in the next few months they NEED to start making a powerful case for not just class war but also anti corruption, pro-democracy measures by strengthening our badly damaged institutions and reaffirming the centrality of civil rights to our society. Which is an anathema to the people most responsive to Bernie's Current Thing. Lol.

Hasan Piker needs to go away. I would love to go to his big beautiful 3.6 million dollar LA house and make him answer for literaly ANYTHING he's said for the past 8 years.

I DO THINK THAT we have to move past idpol in the sense of like. What factors largely define voting blocks like ~racial depolarization~ Its just that when THESE guys talk abt idpol it means Civil Rights specifically. Like wow silly me im just a hysterical identity politics pilled SJW for not wanting to bleed to death on the operating table while medical professionals twiddle their thumbs next to my body. For Instance.

BOOMERS and GEN X are coming thru rn in a way that GenZ just isnt capable of so i like stand by what i said earlier in terms of making sure they get catered to messaging wise first.

GenZ men......i would LOVE to test some messaging on them like im so fascinated. They are so hyper reactionary i think we can outcrazy them back to normal. What if i paid some creatine addicted gym rats to start waxing poetic about how Real Men need to think long term and be Strong In Silence and also social media is for beta cucks etc.

GenZ women on the other hand. I am slapping your face and then clutching your shoulders. You DO in fact. Want your own income. And your own bank account.
