Whoopi:
... Is last night's election an indication the party needs to shift more left, or a victory here? And because everyone hasn't voted in the country yet, we don't know what's what.
Joy:
I don't think New York is a bellwether for the whole country, but New Yorkers aren't watching Fox constantly and aren't afraid of the term democratic socialism.
If I fall down, I want an ambulance. If my house is on fire, bring your hose. You know what I mean. We are looking — I want — I'm not scared of the term.
I think they're scared of the term in this country, but Social Security is a democratic socialist program. Partly, unemployment insurance is. The people who pick up your garbage, the people who take the fire out of your house — all of these are democratic socialism.
And there is a major reaction formation going on. We'll see soon, talking about it later, that Republican senators are turning, congressmen are turning on Trump, and people have had it with this right-wing nasty politics that we've had to subject ourselves to since this guy got into office.
Alyssa:
I would respectfully disagree with you. So, listen, Mamdani does emerge as a kingmaker, but at what expense?
He neutered Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer, who have the job of trying to win back the House and Senate for Democrats, by endorsing candidates against sitting House members.
Joy:
How did he neuter them?
Alyssa:
I'm going to get into it. Let me get to this.
You talked about the goods and services. You want the police to come and the fire department to come. Well, one of your new candidates, Avila Chevalier, was asked how she would respond to someone who committed murder.
These were not people running on an affordability agenda. These were left-wing extremists who were elected last night at the expense of moderate Democrats, so a seat you guys do need to win if you want to take back the House.
Joy:
I don't like the way she sounds at all. She's not the party. She's one person.
Alyssa:
But that is the mountain. These candidates that were endorsed by the Democratic Socialists were extreme candidates, and I've seen this happen in my party where the extreme right wing takes over and you can't get your party back.
I would warn you all this is very dangerous, and it could risk you losing the House.
Sunny:
I disagree with that. I think that New York is the nation's cultural and political capital, and that's just a fact. And the Democratic Socialists of America is a force to be reckoned with at this point.
I really do believe that.
You mentioned these other candidates that won, but you didn't mention Brad Lander, who ran on a democratic socialist platform and advocated building more affordable housing, protecting reproductive rights, standing up for the LGBTQ+ community, and Medicare for All.
Alyssa:
Who did he beat? He beat Dan Goldman, who led the impeachment against Donald Trump.
He took out a sitting progressive liberal who was a liberal hero two years ago. Because he believes in Israel's right to exist, he lost this one.
Sunny:
Perhaps it's time for change. Perhaps it's time for change.
The Democratic Party for a very long time has been searching for an identity, and I see a great parallel between — to your point about the right — the rise of the Tea Party in 2009 as a rebuttal, basically, to President Obama's policies and the financial crisis, and the Democratic Socialists of America's rise in 2016 in reaction to Donald Trump, in reaction to healthcare.
Whoopi: Let —
Sara:
One thing I would say.
I read a fascinating party talking how one party is ousting anti-Semites and one is electing them, and this article raised great points.
Avila Chevalier was at a pro-palestine rally.
These people are not afraid to — they don't only not denounce, they actually espouse these beliefs that everything Israel does has influenced our world.
Joy:
That won't fly in New York City.
Sara:
It actually is.
Sunny:
"Palestinian" and —
Sara:
There were pro-Hamas — on October 8th, the only thing that happened is: Israel had been attacked and people had been brutally murdered and raped, so on October 8th I don't think there needed to be rallies cheering on Hamas.
She would proudly call herself that, trust me.
Dan Goldman, who we spoke about, was refused coffee because they said we don't want money from this individual American human showing up at a coffee shop because they think it comes from AIPAC and Israel.
When we start normalizing crazy.
Sunny:
Is Brad Lander an anti-Semite?
Sara:
Listen, who I'm talking about.
He was refused coffee over someone saying —
Alyssa:
Vandalize —
Joy:
Wait a minute.
One coffee shop is normalizing it.
Alyssa:
His office was vandalized with anti-Semitic slurs in New York.
Sara:
What the right is doing, the extreme right and extreme left are meeting about anti-Semitism.
They hide under the cloak of criticizing Israel, which some people criticizing Israel aren't anti-Semites.
They use it as cover.
A racist doesn't say I'm a racist.
They also don't say I'm an anti-Semite.
Joy:
All of that does not bring down the cost of bread.
Sara:
That's the mistake the Democrats are making.
Affordability and the separation between the haves and have-nots are fair.
All Americans want to be able to afford groceries and healthcare and have good education, and you will those things.
That's not what they're running on.
Alyssa:
She said they were chanting "you're next" at Hakeem Jeffries, the Speaker of the House of Representatives.
