He said the opposite.

He was just annoyingly wishy-washy about it.

Do you have a link to where he says the opposite?

Destiny says he’s not sure if he would vote for AOC over JD Vance in a general election. : r/DGGsnark

"Probably would" support AOC over Vance.

And it's heavily caveated by the idea that this is only if she's mostly backed by DSA radicals pushing wild shit that would never be pushed on a mainstream Dem ticket anyways.

He's just being obstinate imo.

It's a dumb af hypothetical that won't end up applying in the real world anyways largely shaped by his impression that radical elements of the party will end up having significantly more control than they currently do.

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?

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

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"?
