Ana Kasparian Explains Why She's Leaving The Left

Walz Confronts Vance On Jan 6 And Mike Pence In VP Debate ►https://youtu.be/sQwWCDaz60M

Earth is looking awfully flat after a bunch of round-earthers talked shit about me. We should open up a dialogue about how flat the earth looks. I never left the round. The round left me.

_it’s important to criticize “the other side” also being open & willing to call out shitty ideas & viewpoints within your own political party/movement._

To me this demonstrates that she viewed The Left as her "tribe" rather than just "people I share views with". If she treated them as the latter she could've just been like "Damn I didn't realize how insane some leftists are, crazy", and left it at that.

i agree with Ana 100%, the online left is absolutely unhinged and I went through a similar thing where I thought they were 'my side' and allowed them to influence my beliefs and actions. im not sure where Ana is gonna go from here, (not sure why everyone is saying she is turning to the right wing, there is no indication of that) but i still identify as a left wing liberal and divorcing myself from that community has allowed me to think a lot more clearly about what I believe and to be less afraid of "wrongthink."

One frustrating thing is the way social media poisons discourse. There were tons of leftists who gave incredibly gently pushback to Ana for her trans women take, but the loud bullies were so unhinged that it's all that got talked about.

TYT is a leftist to right-wing media personality pipeline 😂

Honestly saw this coming for a few years now

When Destiny talks, his mouth looks like he's doing Jim Carrey's impression of Geraldo Rivera.

You prevent something like this from happening by ensuring that the youth have a balanced understanding of the political landscape and learn critical thinking skills such that they don’t become part of an insulated bubble such that when the bubble pops they don’t get this huge wave of disillusionment and feeling of the “Santa not being real”.
