        He’s literally just some twitch streamer

          Many twitch streamers are influencial. That’s why many progressive candidate talked to him and that’s why establishment are going to fox news the media wing of the fascists to trash him. Establishment Democrats makes Democrats stupid

          I don’t know… I will admit the reason he’s fair game and relevant is because he has gone on campaign tours with el sayed and gotten interviews with other DSA candidates. I’d say he’s not relevant to the democrats as a whole, but individuals who bring him to campaign events… are liable in the same way that any republican candidate that invites Kanye or Fuentes is accepting some baggage from them.

          That being said, I’d also point out Pikers baggage is just plain stupidly overblown as well. The guy streams for like 8 hours a day. The main “ammunition” against him, is one statement he made 8 years ago along the lines of “America deserved 9/11”. which he admitted he admitted was more of a misphrasing, and meant it as “america is responsible for the conditions that made 9/11 an inevitability”.

          They literally just had Logan and Jake Paul give a speech at the Pentagon, at a time when Trump is posturing like he’s going to escalate the Iran War.

          You may not care about a bunch of Twitch streamers but the fucking Executive Office of the United States does. These are very stupid times.

      Every single headline about him could be about a progressive candidate.

      That’s why neoliberals and Republicans live him. He takes up valuable real estate in people’s minds so they’re not talking about progressive candidate.

      It’s hard to tell who’s doing it intentionally and who has twitch brainrot.

        He’s a proxy. They can use him no matter what, if a candidate they feared the most drops out or is defeated in primaries or dies or is removed they can just connect the next one to Hassan like he’s kevin bacon.

    I would be shocked if Trump has ever actually watched/listened to anything Hasan has said.

    Let’s be honest, this isn’t trump hearing a different view, forming an opinion and disagreeing with it. This is trump being told what the current culture issue is and what his views are.

    Sounds like this Piker guy is good stuff. That is a sterling recommendation if it came from such a corrupt PoS pedophile like Dump…

    This shows how weak the Republican’s platform is. They aren’t attacking policy at all - it’s culture wars bull shit. All they can say is vague shit like communism without pointing to anything relevant in policy. Piker isn’t running. These are sloppy desperate fear tactics.

      They can’t attack policy, because they’ve had absolutely no obstruction to implementing policy for nearly two years now. The Republican party has gotten to do exactly as it pleases for nearly two years now, and almost universally Americans say they are worse off than they were before.

    I don’t even know who Hasan Piker is. Nor do I care.

    I want my tax dollars, which I already pay, to be used for programs and services that benefit society rather than the Ultra-rich Trump-Epstein class.

    I want sane governance that respects and upholds the constitution.

    That’s not communism. Thats common sense.

    Vote blue

    Trump talks about Hasan, because Trump wants Hasan’s name to be in people’s heads; because Hasan is controlled opposition.
