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 :’(

      got it, so he’s not a landlord per se but there’s definitely some real estate entanglement with that could certainly be a conflict of interest liability. and it’s residential property too looks like. hasan piker’s mother i believe is also a residential property landlord and that disgusts me so i certainly apply the same principle here.

      thanks for sharing! again this is genuinely new to me so i appreciate it.

        He literally is. He has property in Dubai that he rents out. That’s what landlord means. Doesn’t matter if it’s residential or not, I would even argue that that’s worse.

          no im definitely agreeing with you, residential is worse.

          maybe you’re right about him being a landlord even though it’s his wife’s holdings, i’m not a real estate professional.

          but the technicality doesn’t matter, i agree. the rent-seeking on residential land is the real issue. it’s real bad when donald trump does it, it’s real bad when piker’s mom does it, and it’s real bad when el-sayed does it. i hope he recognizes the error in his ways because that’s really gross.
