Hasan Piker on what Democrats get wrong | America, Actually

Über dieses Video

Democrats have been duking it out all summer. An insurgent left has been driving the moderate establishment up a wall, with high-profile wins in places like New York, Colorado, and Michigan. But a big loss in Wisconsin for democratic socialist Francesca Hong has complicated the left’s narrative, and the battle between progressive momentum and establishment resilience has yet to be decided. At the center of it all is the leftist Twitch streamer and political commentator Hasan Piker. He joins Vox’s Astead Herndon once more to discuss the fault lines that will define the Democratic party’s future this November. 00:00 - Evaluating recent primary results in the Midwest 02:13 - Hasan Piker challenges the "electability narrative" 07:45 - Redefining the modern working-class electorate 14:28 - Is Piker a campaign liability? 21:05 - Obama as a blueprint 23:24 - The “vote blue no matter who” debate 28:18 - Why Democrats lack a bold vision 31:35 - Takeaways America, Actually publishes video episodes every Saturday tackling key issues in politics, culture, and the economy.
