The claim is rhetorical hyperbole from a political commentary post, a sweeping characterization rather than a checkable statement. The sources cover national margins of victory (for example, presidential popular-vote margins within 10 points since 1988 and national seat margins under 10% today) but do not address any half-percent threshold for winning elections, so they neither confirm nor refute it.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

… abortion taxpayer funded on demand, period, it's enough to have biological men and women sports, it's enough to have giant supposed green energy companies, the Cilindras of the world, and embezzling, it's enough for anti humanist policy, it's enough, because the left only needs really half a percent of a vote is what you're talking about nationally. It is not enough for you to do anything other than hand the country over to Marxist. That's really the only threshold that you meet, and I'm not saying that you shouldn't be able to have your opinions, I'm not saying, but you do need to decide what you want …
Louder with Crowder · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Context. Sources on national margins show that recent presidential popular-vote margins have mostly been within 10 percentage points, and national seat margins have narrowed to under 10%. None of them state that a half-percent share would be enough to win.[1][2]
Context. The extracted claim is a faithful but decontextualized paraphrase of a passage in which the speaker argues that 'less than 10% of the country is enough' to shape policy. The post is political rhetoric, not a specific factual assertion about vote thresholds.
