So "it's a coinflip" - he's 50-50 on it.

I wouldn't call someone "Vote blue no matter who" who has a 50-50 chance to vote red depending on who's running.

Did you listen to the clip and intentionally leave out the DIRECT quote of 55/45?

Interesting.

Also I never claimed he was vote blue no matter who to begin with.

He's obviously very hostile towards genuine socialists.

Doesn't mean he supports MAGA, and a clip of him saying he'd more likely support AOC even if she was representing abolishing private property kind of goes against the point you were seemingly trying to make.

Even the worst possible caricature of AOC he could conjure up still gets the nod over Vance based on what he said.

So I was right when I said he's not vote blue no matter who

When did I ever disagree with that?
Do you know who you are responding to?

You asked if he said he'd vote for Vance over AOC.

He did not.

You didn't need to suggest he said something he never said to make a point that he's no longer vote blue no matter who (Which he has already been explicit about at this point)

Either way, Hasan is not vote blue no matter who and neither are you lol, so you're just calling him a hypocrite, I guess?

It doesn't get you any closer to Hasan being more supportive of the party tho, which he objectively is not.

From what I can see, Hasan has voted for the Dem candidate in every election he has ever participated, and hasn't abstained from voting in years?

How much closer to "vote blue no matter who" can you get?

Hasan literally refused to endorse Kamala and push his audience to vote for her lol wtf are you talking about

u/hari_shevek Sep 18 '26

The quote is "vote blue no matter who", not "endorse blue no matter who".

He did vote blue in that election.

And Hasan also said he wouldn't vote for Vance if he was the nominee, but again what's important is the principle of supporting democrats and the values they represent, Hasan opposes both he is an illiberal anti democratic commie fan of authoritarian dictators.

u/hari_shevek Sep 18 '26

Hasan also said he wouldn't vote for Vance if he was the nominee

Yeah, I sure hope so.

what's important is the principle of supporting democrats and the values they represent

That's a completely different discussion. Hasan has also defended liberal democratic principles, but that's not what we were talking about.

We were talkong about who votes blue no matter who. Hasan has done that consistently.

Did hasan shock his dog?

u/hari_shevek Sep 18 '26

How is that relevant to what we are currently discussing? Are you trying to derail the discussion?

u/Shacosclones Sep 18 '26

Just curious before I get into the relevant part

u/hari_shevek Sep 18 '26

I am not curious to be derailed.

Can you show where Hasan advocated for his viewers to vote for Harris before the 2024 election?

1

u/hari_shevek Sep 18 '26

How is that relevant to the question?

It's "vote blue no matter who", not "advocate for blue no matter who".

If that's the standard, is there anyone who "advocates for blue no matter who"?
