I mean, I don't know a ton about Hasan, my fav internet leftist is someone else, but like, would he want you antagonizing and trying to start shit with people in spaces that are generally pretty leftist if they dont give him personally all the credit for Sayed's election?

That seems like really childish behavior and maybe more importantly, bad praxis.

    Fucking miss me. I dont give a shit what you want to project onto someone you donʻt know. I could really give a shit for a disciplining effort from people who in bad faith have been sabotaging any kind of leftward movement in this country for decades.

    The people sabotaging leftward movement for decades really aren't the people you're talking to right now.

    It might be a good idea to step away for a minute- I cannot stress enough that starting inane fights about the electoral importance of hassan piker with people who are also happy to see Sayed win is bad praxis. This does not serve any productive end, it just increases infighting and anger among the people you're in community with.

    Take care.

    No it is. Its exactly those people who said that we needed to vote for a genocide instead of demanding that candidate do better who today's victory is a vindication against. That we need to moderate our positions. That we need to police our tone when it comes to equality for all.

    This is a vindication against moderation

    It might be a good idea to step away for a minute-

    Its not a train station bruddah. No need to announce your departure.

    No one you're talking to is advocating for genocide or wants moderate democrats, we're celebrating Sayed's win. Thats what everyone in this thread is doing.

    Literally the entire thread is people being happy Sayed won

    I do agree Hasan deserves to be on the long list of people centrist Democrats apologize to, along with Sayed himself and mamdani (what a crazy coincidence, they're all brown, wonder what that has to do with anything). But starting fights over whether Hasan gave him the election with other people who are happy Sayed won and calling them liberals for not being Hasan fans, even though we're all here celebrating, is a bleak way to engage with the people around you and makes you look like a psyop trying to sow discord.
