Dave Rubin is sounding the alarm: the Democratic Party is heading deeper into the ditch of radical extremism. The longtime podcaster and conservative commentator has been saying for months that far-left Democrats like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are taking control—and now they’re doubling down on policies that Rubin calls “Marxist” and “anti-American.” During a recent talk with co-host Sage Steele, he warned that the party’s refusal to learn from its 2024 election losses will push them further and further to the left.
Rubin points to Democrats’ cozy relationship with open borders and lawlessness. He blasted their plans to block deportations for criminal migrants like Kilmar Ábrego García, calling it part of a broader scheme to “overwhelm our system.” The California governor’s recent lashing out at his own party exposes the inward civil war. But Rubin insists the real problem isn’t internal clashes—it’s that most Democrats have fully embraced “dark woke” politics: code words for radical racial and gender ideologies.
The former progressive turned conservative says the party’s “Marxist monster” is out of control. He compared Kamala Harris to a programmed AI robot, saying she’s just a puppet repeating radical talking points. Rubin blasts Democrats for using taxpayer money to fund trips to weak countries like El Salvador, where violent cartels operate freely. He argues this is part of their plan to destabilize America and replace its citizens with illegal migrants who’ll vote for progressive policies.
On the “Actual Friends” podcast, Rubin painted a dire picture. If Democrats take power again, he predicts they’ll first “shut down” street violence (like Antifa attacks) to fake normalcy. But he warns this is temporary—their anti-police, pro-crime policies will eventually lead to chaos again. Rubin blames the media for ignoring this reality, saying they act as Democratic “foot soldiers” hiding the radical agenda.
The host singled out AOC and Squad members for pushing extreme policies. He links their “oppression Olympics” mentality to the rise of anti-Semitic and anti-white rhetoric in their ranks. Rubin argues that old-school liberals (who actually cared about free speech and limited government) are being purged from the party, replaced by radicals like Zohran Mamdani who cheer for cop killings.
Rubin insists this shift isn’t accidental. He claims Democrats are intentionally “overloading the system” with migrants, drugs, and currency-destroying spending to create a crisis they can exploit. The goal, he says, is to dismantle American traditions and replace them with socialist control. This isn’t just about elections—it’s a cultural and economic warfare strategy.
The conservative commentator urged his audience to stay vigilant. “We need to wake up every day ready to fight,” he said, emphasizing the importance of protecting free speech and defending Western values. Rubin believes the survival of America as we know it hinges on stopping the Democratic Party’s radicalization. He’s not mincing words: this is a battle for the soul of the nation.
