    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.
