The opposite, vote in primaries and try to get people on the ballot worth voting for
Thats the key, if you dont get exactly what you want in the primaries, what do you do?
Fucking purity testing bullshit, fully functional and operational at the highest levels. The left will purity test itself into extinction if it doesn't realize it's happening.
Precisely. The right will vote for anyone no matter how terrible they are and we’re busy self defeating.
Hasan continues to be an effective litmus test.
Like, if in 2026 you're responding to the call to actively take time and energy out to hate on Hasan, you're squarely an anti-leftist.
People talked about his dog for longer than we talked about the 100+ children the US slaughtered a few weeks ago
I think it's a bit much to say that someone who doesn't like Hasan is an anti-leftist. I'll stand by my brothers and sisters in the fight for equality for all but I'm also of the opinion that Hasan is a bit of a douche who probably does more harm than good for the left in the US. I would encourage you to not box out potential allies because of a silly disagreement over a Twitch streamer
Yeah, I've thought Hasan was a tankie for a while, but joining the shithead neo feudalists in dogpiling him is a terrible idea. Those fuckers are controlled opposition for the fascist oligarchs, and when it comes to fighting fascists you cannot be picky in your allies.
I'm going to guess, and I may be wrong, that a lot of people who would vote for the US Dems have no idea who he is. I didn't until the last year, though I've lived outside of the US for a decade now
He's hugely popular with people under 30 as far as politics goes. He is turning on an entire generation towards politics while also acting as an alternative to Nick Fuentes and Andrew Tate.
So you can imagine the kind of threat he poses.
Any article, or does OP just imagine everyone here knows what the fuck this is about and who this person is?
Considering how much American politics seeps through online spaces you'd have to be living under a political rock to not know who Hasan Piker is. He's one of the biggest leftist, like actually leftist not "neoliberal leftist", political commentator online. As for what the meme is referencing, it's this.
I rarely even hear his name
Who is the guy in the picture and why did his tiktok get screen capped though?
That's Walter Masterson, a comedian and satirist that produces a lot of progressive content. He does stunts like going to republican rallies to mock their political rhetoric.
Oh, that I have no fucking clue. I just assumed that's a random nobody in the image and the person we're talking about is the referenced "Twitch Streamer", Hasan Piker.
What is going on in here? Most of the comments are blue maga.
No kidding!
Some of these comments are unhinged. We’re drowning in a sea of fascism and folks are still doing purity tests and believing BS from right wing sources.
well, they get payed by the same people, so they serve the same interest

Picking a fight with Hasan Piker
Dude is insanely problematic...
Saying the party should toss values aside and just shut up and accept him because he's twitch famous is fucking wild.
He's a fucking nepo baby that got famous working for his genocide denying uncle. If he held half the values he claims to, he wouldnt have a multimillion dollar mansion and spend all his time raising his "brand awareness".
Like, for people who actually listen to this douche, take a second and think about what you hear more about:
-
The candidate he's supposed to be helping here
-
How Hasan is smarter and knows more than any politician
You little fuckers are falling for the same grift boomers did with trump
Care to elaborate on those supposed values us supporters are throwing aside?
Timing is problematic. Somehow everyone comes out against him right away? Right after he takes medical aid to Cuba? This has Bernie 2016 vibes to it. Gotta kill the progressive momentum before it gets too big.
Two people can suck at once. Maybe even three or more.
The only thing I know about that Hassan guy is that he uses a shock collar on his dog. Thought that was what he was best known for after all the memes
Wasn't that fake
Hassan is a charlatan
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.
it’s still fucking stupid to go after a twitch streamer
-
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?
Charlatan or not
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
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.
