‘Repulsive’: Ana Kasparian Tells Megyn Kelly About Democrats’ Biggest Strategy Flaw

“The Young Turks” co-host Ana Kasparian told SiriusXM’s Megyn Kelly on Thursday that Democrats’ biggest strategy flaw is their inability to “self-reflect” on what they should do to gain back voters.

The Democrat Party has struggled since November with falling behind a single message and leader in hopes of appealing to and attracting voters from key voting blocs who left them in the last election. While discussing a recent report detailing how Democrat donors are attempting to use their funds to try and find new faces for the party on “The Megyn Kelly Show,” Kelly asked Kasparian if she could see the attempt being successful.  (RELATED: Geriatric Dems — Unshaken By Biden’s Collapse — Gear Up For Reelection)

“Megyn, if I could be a mouthpiece and rake in the big bucks — I don’t know if I would do it, but I know that I’m not capable of doing it. So part of the reason why I find myself in this terrible situation that I’m in, where I’m basically rejected by the left, but I don’t fit in with the right,” Kasparian said. “So I’m kind of in no man’s land right now, and it’s not fun. It’s pretty awful, but the reason why I’m there is because I have to be authentic. I have to be honest with my audience.”

“It’s both selfish because I can’t help but just tell people how I actually feel about the issues we talk about, but it’s also because I respect my audience. I want my audience to know the truth. And so if I see the left doing something that’s counterproductive — if I see something that I don’t like — I’m going to speak out about it,” Kasparian added.

Kasparian went on to say that while she might have some hope that Democrats will learn their lesson, they have instead continued to “intentionally” see supporters as “their public servants.”

“The reason why I do that is because there’s still a little bit of hope that maybe they’ll learn some lessons. Maybe they’ll heed the advice and recalibrate some of their behavior and some of their policies so they can attract a broad coalition of voters to support them,” Kasparian said. “But instead what I’ve noticed by the Democratic Party is that rather than self-reflect they like to lash out. They see us as their public servants, instead of them being our public servants. And that is a huge, huge problem.”

“So I want to reiterate — I don’t fit in on the right. I have some pretty serious left-wing policy preferences, but, culturally speaking, the left I find repulsive at times and intentionally so,” Kasparian said. “They’re intentionally behaving that way. And it’s totally selfish because it’s more about how they feel and how they want to purge certain people out of the party as opposed to thinking about what they need to do to again attract a broad coalition of Americans who are willing to buy into their agenda and program.”

In March, CNN/SSRS released a poll showing Democrats hit an all-time low favorability rating of 29%, dropping 20 points since January 2021. Despite the lack of voter appeal, early reports have speculated that key figures like Democrat New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg could place bids for the party’s 2028 presidential primary.
