hasan piker (guy on the right) does not represent the left and is not worthy of your attention.

he 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’m not sure how that’s a dog whistle for the right… The right HATES science and it comes off to me like he’s making a point about what works instead of playing stupid word games.

      They don’t hate science, they hate “soyience”. The kind that tells you that trans people exist and black people aren’t inferior. This is how most of them think.

      And I said right-LIBERTARIANS. I’m not talking about MAGA etc. I’m talking about the Ayn Rand people who won’t let you touch a specific hard drive in their house for some weird reason.

        Is that you in the video? You’re no better than the right in my opinion. Also playing words games and saying nothing useful with no hard evidence.

          Sorry, I thought that the words coming out of his mouth on video was enough. Silly me.

          And no I’m not a YouTuber what the hell are you talking about 🤣

            Your entire reply to me was about things you “said”… You didn’t say them in this reply chain as far as I can tell. But I’m not going to go around searching for your other comments.

            Anyways. I hold out for Abdul and he sends much more legitimate to me than most others claiming to be progressive.

              I linked him saying the dog whistle shithead, that’s what started the conversation, remember?

              Or are you asking for the existence of the term soyience, because you can’t Google it yourself?

              https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Soyience

              Anyways. I hold out for Abdul and he sends much more legitimate to me than most others claiming to be progressive.

              Continue soyfacing for your favourite Dubai landlord 👍

                You linked a 10 minute video that I only watched part of.

                Post your entire thought process or don’t. I’m not wasting 10 minutes on bad takes.

                You either are right wing, or a tankie, and both like to play word games that I don’t condone. If he’s not who he says he is, then who do YOU think should win the Senate race?

                  Timestamp is 2:00. He says “I don’t believe in socialism, I believe in science”. It’s an obvious right-libertarian dog whistle. That’s what I said.

                  If he’s not who he says he is, then who do YOU think should win the Senate race?

                  HE IS EXACTLY WHO HE SAYS HE IS. He’s a fucking capitalist landlord. HE ADMITS IT. Maybe form an ACTUAL LEFTIST party and stop putting open Nat-Z capitalists into office? Is that too much to ask of Americans?

                    with peace and love you literally admitted elsewhere in this thread you’re from turkey and have no leftists or leftist groups to point usa voters towards.

                    we’re like two months out from the general election and, whatever your criticisms of el-sayed, his MAGA oponent is 100x as bad. your all caps beratings are both unseemly and far too late because right now we’re focusing on protecting our neighbors from the dictator putting us in concentration camps.

              Same! I am all for a candidate that works as intelligently as El-Sayed on policy helping material social issues, whether or not he claims to be socialist in name matters less to me than the people he’s working to help.
