Dems Turn On Poly Gays For Islamists (We Called It!)

In this episode of Based Camp, Malcolm and Simone break down a major signal shift at the official collegiate youth outreach arm of the DNC (CDA).

Hasan Piker appeared in a Mao Zedong suit delivering a fiery anti-compromise rant, while Destiny and his circle were reportedly banned from the event—despite having paid for tickets. At the same time, a man recently convicted on multiple felony terrorist-threat charges was allowed in.

Malcolm and Simone examine the two dominant factions now competing for the future of the Democratic Party: the Hasan/Mondami (Islamist, anti-Western) wing versus the Destiny-style progressive wing that still prioritizes LGBT issues, redistribution, and electoral pragmatism. They argue the youth arm’s decision reveals which side currently holds institutional power.

The conversation then turns to the parallel fight on the right—nerd right vs. gripers—why online culture-war battles actually determine staffing, policy, and candidates, and why capturing the next generation of institutions (and AI platforms) matters more than traditional think-tank money.
