Picking a fight with Hasan Piker while midterms are gearing up is the dumbest fucking idea. The consultant class really is a problem when it comes to meaningful change. (TikTok screencap)

      Charlatan or not it’s still fucking stupid to go after a twitch streamer instead of IDK going after the fascist administration. The only reason they’re going after Hasan is because Hasan is presenting an alternative to the “our hands are tied” politics of the democratic party. An alternative would be fine if it also served the corporate overlords of the democratic party but because his alternative is left-wing populism (you know, the stuff Mamdani ran on) it’s no good. Can’t give people hope for a better America.

        1. A candidate invited Hasan to a rally.

        2. A few Dems said that’s not a good idea because he’s not helping candidates, he’s just increasing his own views.

        3. Hasan and his fans never ever mention the candidate Hasan is supposed to be supporting

        4. They change the entire conversation to “Dems don’t like Hasan”.

        Do you legitimately not understand this is exactly what people warned about?

        Is the twitch brain rot really so bad you can’t realize Hasan is proving everyone right?

      I know nothing about the dude except his fucking shock collar dog and that’s allI need to know that I’m being manipulated somehow.

      “Here’s some dirt we dug up on the guy, which apparently renders all his opinions invalid”

      Edit: Ah shit and look at me going exacerbating the problem like a fucking drone

        Oh 100%; there’s definitely some foul play and slandering going on. Still, I’m not happy with the way he handled the Cuba flotilla, I’m not happy with his uncritical endorsement of Platner and Sanders.
