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 :’(
I kept hearing about that betrayal thing and its some minor election on the other side of the globe, so pardon me for not knowing or caring about the details, but what is Hasan’s political project for if he’s not gonna help people like El Sayed get elected? (He loves aesthetics of revolution, but I’ll eat a shoe if he actually helps make one happen) There is nothing that stops him from supporting figures that publically disavow him apart from ego, is there? What even is the point of him being a part of the campaign?
To make a name for himself so some portion of the internet tunes into his streams and thus give him that sweet advertising money.
Free publicity.
I mean, of course it is about his self interest too, that isn’t inherently something wrong, I just hope he would rethink his priorities
