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.
A candidate invited Hasan to a rally.
A few Dems said that’s not a good idea because he’s not helping candidates, he’s just increasing his own views.
Hasan and his fans never ever mention the candidate Hasan is supposed to be supporting
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?
The candidate is Abdul El-Sayed who is running for Senate in Michigan. Don’t know where you’re getting that Hasan never mentions him, they had a whole interview and Hasan has spoken about him frequently since then.
Hasan has a large platform that he lends to candidates to give them a boost. I guarantee you more people knew of Hasan Piker than Abdul El-Sayed before his interview. This idea that Hasan is just clout-chasing makes no sense. I don’t align 100% with his worldview but this whole thing is clearly just a smear campaign organised by Third Way because of Hasan’s advocacy for Palestine, opposition to the blockade on Cuba, and his efforts to get progressives elected in Democratic primaries.
charlatan
the alternative of the charlatan is not good and nothing like mamdani
good thing he’s just a propagandist and not someone with stable political power. With an actual politician like Newsom, the stakes are much higher
