    Trying to suggest that Hasan Piker isn’t heavily associated with the DSA means that you really just don’t know anything about the man. He is absolutely their biggest voice, even if he isn’t technically an accredited member.

      lol I literally just said I didn’t know him slick

      OK so I’ll make a twitch channel dedicated to telling everyone what great friends you and I are. I’ll talk you up every chance I get. We’ll just be inseparable in the twitchy verse, you dig? I’ll become your spokesperson to all the twitches on there, and say whatever I want on your behalf because seriously, what twitcher is interested in who you actually are if you’re not even on the twitch?

        Dude, this is such a small brained take.

        You need to understand that news takes place where people are engaging. This is why Facebook, Xitter, Twitch, YouTube, TikTok and whatever other popular social media are where most people get their news nowadays. Behaving like one of the most popular news spaces for young people in the U.S. is inconsequential is so god damn devoid of any thought it makes me angry that I need to engage with such a stupid fucking take.

          Well you know us “DSA types”

          news takes place where people are engaging

          Not all reality tho

          Facebook, Xitter, Twitch, YouTube, TikTok and whatever popular social media are where most people get their news

          That’s great for them

          it makes me angry that I need to engage with such a stupid fucking take

          Clearly

          Look I’m in my 30s and don’t have time for games. If Hasan can actually motivate people in their 20s to participate in something off-platform, in the real world, where elections happen, and if he’s willing to do the work to mobilize votes, then I’d say that makes him an organizer, and I’d be happy to work beside him. But until he brings in those votes, his popularity on a gaming streamer platform means less than nothing to me.
