Any article, or does OP just imagine everyone here knows what the fuck this is about and who this person is?

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.

Hasan Derangement Syndrome. It's not just the consultant class that's to blame, the DNC is just as infested by corporate interest and PACs as the Republicans. The average Democrat rep's platform *does not* align with the average Democratic voter's priorities. Hasn't for a long time.

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.

I don't like Hasan Piker and I think he was actively damaging in 2024 (not that he swinged the election, but he sure didn't help). However, shouldn't we be trying to build bridges right now since the left has been bulkanized so hard? The right can unify against the left but apparently the left can't do the same...

What is going on in here? Most of the comments are blue maga.

Mobilize them to do what? Not vote?

I will keep repeating this until the day I die: the democratic political machine ***cannot function*** as it exists today without it's not-so-clandestine marriage with capital. Piker being a massively-popular mobilizer of young voters does **nothing** to endear him to a party who's entire political infrastructure is directly at odds with his political views on capital, labor, and anti-imperialist geopolitics. The DNC will sooner drown in it's own piss, shit, and vomit than adopt or promote a political commentator that seeks to rip the party away from its funding apparatus by holding them accountable to their increasingly socialist voting base.

> Liaison and Party Harmony: In the primary campaign your opposition is Jack Hopeful, a member of your own party. Never forget that you will need the support of all your party after the primary and never let your supporters forget it! > This is a very touchy, difficult matter, particularly in a volunteer organization. You are certain to have loyal supporters who are simple souls, unable to think in terms other than black and white. To them Jack Hopeful is the ENEMY - they will commit excesses through misguided zeal. So also will some of Mr. Hopeful's supporters. Bad blood breeds more bad blood; in short order you can have a situation which is completely out of hand, which splits the party wide open, and which will render it impossible for your man to win in the finals. > Since the nomination is valueless in itself, being merely a necessary means to an end, you must prevent this at all costs. --Robert A. Heinlein, *Take Back Your Government*

Why does anyone care what YouTube people say or think in the first place.

That's only true if someone loses. Cancel culture is gone, so outrage is just extra engagement and free advertising. I'm not saying it's a good thing, but it's a reasonable strategy in the cesspool of a cultural climate we have now. Not that I think this is actually strategic, just lookin on the brightside.

I follow politics closely, and I've NEVER heard of this guy.

>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: 1. The candidate he's supposed to be helping here 2. How Hasan is smarter and knows more than any politician You little fuckers are falling for the same grift boomers did with trump

Hassan is a charlatan
-
@Lumisal@lemmy.world 2026-04-01 08:23
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

@DoubleDongle@lemmy.world 2026-04-01 03:30
Doesn't he shill for the Kremlin?

@Revolver1864@piefed.social 2026-04-01 03:00
hasan uses a shock collar to keep his dog confined to a small area, he will do it to anything living he deems beneath him. Fuck hasan.

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.
-
@Lumisal@lemmy.world 2026-04-01 23:34
Same, haven't heard of him and moved away for nearly a decade. Just the dog shocking memes. Good if he's mobilizing young people to vote I guess? But I don't really trust any of the political YouTube people in general - seems there's too much money involved to not be biased.

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
