Hawk addresses a viewer’s comment asking why he’s a Democrat — and clarifies that he isn’t one. For over twenty years, Hawk has been a registered Independent, and in this candid conversation he explains why his politics fall to the left of the Democratic Party. Hawk discusses the realities of living in the wealthiest nation on Earth while most Americans struggle paycheck to paycheck, and why he believes healthcare, education, housing, and food are basic human rights.
He also focuses on the influence of organizations like AIPAC over elected Democrats, their unwillingness to support candidates such as Zoran Mdani, and the moral failure of politicians who refuse to stand against injustice. Hawk reflects on what it means to vote for the lesser of two evils in a broken two-party system and questions what true democracy looks like in the United States today.
Through humor, honesty, and sharp political insight, Hawk challenges assumptions about party loyalty and encourages independent thought about the future of American politics.
