Zecharias Zelalem

Mehdi Hassan went on Zeteo to offer his take on what the Democrats could become, post Harris defeat.

He believes that defeat won't lead to the party making changes, defunding war and catering to their leftist base. Quite the contrary apparently!

Could we see the divide between the US political aisle disappear?

Lots of gloomy takes.

I never would have thought someone's political career could survive so many scandals. Convictions and the whole coup thing.

Some 4 years we have ahead of us.

@ZekuZelalem

Delusional.

There's no such thing as a leftist base.

Leftists are one faction of many.

The growing number of independent voters would go full GOP.

But there won't be future US elections that deserve the name anyway.

@ZekuZelalem where can I find the full video? I tried searching on the Zeteo website but it must have been buried somewhere as I couldn't find it 🫤

@ZekuZelalem 4 years is IF he leaves office and doesn’t bring a Putin situation.

@timnitGebru Uff...a huge if hafteye, hang in there.

@timnitGebru@dair-community.social @ZekuZelalem@dair-community.social There's all this talk of "the next election" and it's just like, well... if you want that to happen, then there's a lot of stuff we need to preserve and fight for (and improve) to make sure it does. So... don't go writing campaign contribution checks just yet.

@ZekuZelalem given that so many Democrats are still keen on bipartisanship with a party whose members want many of them to be executed, it makes perfect sense. A new amicable bipartisanship with the Overton window shoved so far to the right it’s the next door neighbor’s window now.
