hasan piker (guy on the right) is actively making abdul el-sayed’s chances at election worse and i am frustrated about it given the stakes so i made this meme.

because like. my absolute BESTIE abdul el-sayed is out here working miracles at home trying to keep poc, migrant, low-income, queer, etc. people alive and doing the actual work of building a coalition, including making real inroads with his Jewish constituency, while being explicitly pro-Palestinian and rejecting AIPAC money.

hasan piker has made a handful of appearances with both abdul and zohran, but now abdul is getting viciously smeared for hasan’s own words, with fox news literally turning things hasan said into attack-ad material against him. and hasan just will not read the room and step back.

this is the same BOZO hasan piker who wears mao outfits, plays literal terrorist propaganda videos for his friends and goes “they’re just very musical people,” denies the Uyghur genocide, supports the invasion of Tibet, lies about queer rights in China while going on tours, and has said enough insane shit that even my OTHER bestie zohran mamdani disavowed him months ago. and the room is STILL unread and some people are trying to tell me i have to fall on the sword for piker.

do i have to beg ;;;;;;

i just want candidates who aren’t evil to win :’(

    see this is what’s so scary to me is i can literally say “i am a progressive leftist and i want progressive leftists and social democrats to win”

    and i’ll still get accused of being “right wing” (what i assume you mean by “rw”, correct me if im wrong) for not… diving on the sword for the imperialism-condoning “I call it Crimea river, a Russian river bitch” guy?

    i just want human rights and healthcare sadge

      I mean you’ve accepted a wholly right wing frame built to literally target hogs. How do you expect people to react to your regurgitation of right wing talking points.

      can literally say “i am a progressive leftist and i want progressive leftists and social democrats to win”

      Yeah it doesn’t matter what you say, it matters what you do. People say one thing and do another all the time, and you are doing that right here.

      You aren’t doing what you say. You are doing this other thing, literally just accepting the slop that fascist media is shoving down the slop tubes like any other hog. Fox news and right wing corporate media have spent billions to get you, yes you to repeat their lines for them. And you ate it up like a lil’ piggy. You doing the fascists work for them.

      So if you want people to evaluate you differently, do different things.
