> it’s still fucking stupid to go after a twitch streamer 1. A candidate invited Hasan to a rally. 2. A few Dems said that's not a good idea because he's not helping candidates, he's just increasing his own views. 3. Hasan and his fans never ever mention the candidate Hasan is supposed to be supporting 4. 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?

> A candidate invited Hasan to a rally. > Hasan and his fans never ever mention the candidate Hasan is supposed to be supporting 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. > A few Dems said that's not a good idea because he's not helping candidates, he's just increasing his own views. 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.
