There's several ways to come at this but I think part of Destiny's problem is that his vision is the DNC's vision. A lot of ink has been spilled about what is wrong with the DNC and why Democrats keep losing and we can drift into Sperging. It's been a decade since Bernie ran for president and nothing has been learned or gained.Don't get me wrong, I don't think that Bernie's messaging is in general the most effective, but it's far better than what Destiny thinks it should be.
The DNC way of believing is the safest way to get a political "in" and requires no creativity (read: effort) so of course a "serious" aging millennial is going to take up with that way of thinking. Even Hasan is willing to play the game if it means getting to be closer to the center of this country's politics and furthering his own goals/prestige. If you're Destiny, you don't have to stake any hard positions and therefore you appeal to a broader set of people. Destiny vaguely gestures at supporting the issues of the lib-left while hardly believing in anything himself (see: this whole thread)
The trouble he's run into is that he's cultivated an audience of anti-establishment types, whether they are libertarians or to the left of Destiny. Because Destiny's lifestyle and wealth brings him closer to the establishment than to his fans his takes have become increasingly out of touch. He can just ban and purge, ban and purge, without having to publicly examine these contradictions of his beliefs, which are normal to have and Hasan is shitted on for all the time.
