Why I Left The Left, Gaza, Identity Politics & The Collapse Of America!

Across Western democracies, the political map has shifted. The left is losing its base. The right is gaining ground — and owning the narrative.In the US, Republicans have gained millions of voters in recent years, while Democrats have lost ground. Across Europe, radical right parties are now regularly polling above 20%, winning government roles and reshaping mainstream politics.So what’s really happening? Is this a failure of the left or something deeper? In this episode of The Tea, we’re joined by veteran political commentator Ana Kasparian to unpack the growing disillusionment with mainstream politics and who is benefitting from it.From party infighting to foreign policy failures and economic frustration, Ana argues this isn’t just a political shift it’s a class war. And while elites remain firmly in control, ordinary people are increasingly divided.Also in the show:⚡ Immigration, the border, and the Democrats’ political fallout⚡ Citizens United — the moment corruption was legalised⚡ Gaza — a breaking point between politicians and the public⚡ From Bernie Sanders to AOC — where the left lost its base⚡ Identity politics vs class politics⚡ Transgender inclusive language: debate or shut down?⚡ Cross-ideological alliances — taboo or necessary?⚡ Filton 24 — the story the press can’t touch⚡ America’s foreign policy and the cost of fighting Israel’s wars⚡ Media as PR for power — who holds politicians accountable?⚡ Big Tech, AI, and the politics of convenienceAna argues that political labels matter less and less and that the real divide isn’t left vs right, but top vs bottom. And the only political battle that matters is the one against the elites.👉 Subscribe for independent, unfiltered conversations🎧 Listen wherever you get your podcasts #TheTeaWithMyriamFrancois #AnaKasparian #USPolitics #Trump #UKPolitics #left #indipendentmedia #news # #currentaffairs #Israel AUDIO CREDITSPresenter–Producer: Dr. Myriam FrançoisGuest: Ana KasparianSenior Producer: Sara FarolfiProducer: Nadège BizimunguAssistant Producer: Poppy JacobsResearch: Constance Creswell, Martha MissinghamVideo Editor: Max BubnovAn MPWR Productions show.Disclaimer:The views and opinions expressed by the guest(s) on The Tea YouTube series and podcast are their own and do not reflect those of MPWR Productions or its licensees.
