    The colloquial name for that is just "bullshit"

    They are just trying to plug Hasan Piker and glue him to El-Sayed

    El Sayed doesnʻt get through the primary without the support of Hasan and the Hasan-adjacent community. This isnʻt a debate. Its in the permanent record. Hasan builds up good candidates early on when the level of volunteering and donations from a community of that size can make a difference. Those candidates that Hasan supported, by and large, won across the board last night, and have been winning across the board since 2025.

    Without Hasan, Michigan gets sleeper fascist Haley Stevens.

    Without Hasan, NYC gets Andrew Cuomo instead of the, currently, most popular Mayor in US history.

    You donʻt have to agree. But you not agreeing doesnʻt change the truth of it that, in part because corporate and zionist Democrats and Republican tried to make Hasan a boogey man, and then because Hasanʻs candidates WIPED THE FUCKING FLOOR and were INTEGRAL to the most signficiant election (perhaps?) in the past 60 years. Like, pretending Hasan doesnʻt matter doesnʻt change how much Hasan matters: it just makes you look like a increasingly irrelevant apologist for a form of politics the US doesnʻt want anything to do with.

    The exact same thing can be said about MS Now, The Rational National, Democracy Now, Breaking points, etc (basically any left leaning outlet)... so I guess you should thank them as well?

    Amazing that you can see the threads of the multiverse

    You donʻt have to agree. But you not agreeing doesnʻt change the truth

    It will definitely not changed YOUR mind which is already made without been able to provide a single shred of concrete evidence... but that's OK, you can believe whatever you want. It just gets sad when you want to apply your religion to the rest

    Iʻm not asking Hasanʻs opinion. Iʻm making a statement that I donʻt think can be argued with, which is that in several primary races from 2025-2026, Hasan Pikers early involvement brought visibility, volunteers, and legitimacy to candidates who otherwise would have been boxed out as a result of our existing corporate media landscape. Hasan is engaging with candidates who poll are polling at 1%, and getting them the funding and volunteer base to get them to the 10-20% range where a campaign becomes self sufficient the fly wheel process takes a life of its own.

    Hasan has downplayed his influence in the past because if they didnʻt, they would become the target and it could hurt that influence. Its a strategic comment to try and extend the runway they did materially have. Its now undeniable. Hasanʻs name was in the mouth of some of the most powerful peoples mouths in the world the past 3 months. They elevated his profile to this level. And if it had been a shellacking for left wing democrats, that would be the end of it for Hasan. But its the opposite of that. Hasanʻs picks whooped ass.

    Conservative Democrats and "moderates" have been bullying the left for decades. Its turn tables now.

    ... that I don't think can be argued with...

    Then argue with it. Actually engage.

    Do you think El Sayed makes it through the primary without out the support of Hasan and others like them on the left? Assuming Stevens could even win a general, we quite literally would have ended up with a second Fetterman.

    Without Hasan, El Sayed doesnʻt leave the primary. McMorrough and Stevens consolidate and Stevens wins. Instead, McMorrough leans into the islamaphobia and lasers in on the Hasan connection and it loses her the election. El Sayed consolidates instead.

    Literally, if not for Hasan, that seat stays red or at best is in the hands of an actual ziofascist.

    lol

    You're making the continued mistake of assuming these votes are in support of Dems and the left and not anti-Trump votes.

    You also make the massive, asinine assumption that most voters even know who Hasan is, let alone his politics beyond, "the US deserved 9/11".

    Americans prefer the politics of Hasan Piker to those of fascists.

    Iʻve had to suffer through James Carville deciding who should and shouldn't run and how for the past 40 years. You can suffer through Hasan for the next 40.

    So you admit he's a meaningless blowhard like Carville?

    Not sure why you think Carville is meaningless, considering theyʻve dictated DNC strategy for the previous two years.

    Yea, on stupid pundit coverage which 0.005% of the population even watch when they're not stuck at the airport or DMV waiting room.

    Carville outlined the strategy Jefferies and Schumers deployed: To roll over and play dead while fascism took over. Its not speculation. Its what happened.

    I think it was almost 250k peak on Hasans live stream last night?

    So closer to 0.75%, or 170x your number. And yeah, rounding up to 1% is still a small number. But this treadmill youʻve got us on is just goal posting moving, because across the entirety of politics, its Hasanʻs stream that was putting up those numbers. Political sickoʻs are a small portion of the population; but of that small population, its Hasan who, for the moment, is breaking through.

    This means they have (and the demonstrably have had) disproportionate influence. Carville coasted for 40 years on "Its the economy stupid" and was a central figure of politics after that.. What Hasan was a part of last night was an earthquake compared to Carville. Expect to hear their name constantly. Expect us to never shut up about them.

    There are over 265 million adults in the US, so you might want to check your shitty dumbass math. (btw, mine was a joke, but it's still closer to reality than your dumb ass)

    I could've told you Dems would roll over. The fuck does Carville matter when he's saying the most obvious shit ever?

    Oh your right! My numbers should actually be higher!

    Hasan was pulling almost a full percent of the US population equivilent. Even more than I got from the back of the napkin. Youʻre right. Theyʻre more popular than I had even estimated.
