    I mean, if you ignore the constant advocacy he does for rank and file workers and unions, alongside his repeated acknowledgement of his privilege, this would be a legitimate criticism. If you left out the “in the same way” as well.

          under attack by his closest aligning party, because he is threatening right wing democrats position, and gamesmanship of the vote

              no, i am implying that of the two parties, the democrats are the closest yet they are spending their influence in atacking the left pull of their base. and Hasan is the attackable face of this pressure, as oppose to doing their fucking job in fighting tyranny.

                So what? They’re still extremely far away and their ideology (Liberalism) is completely incompatible with Hasan’s (Marxist-Leninism).

                There is 0 incentive for Democrats to include someone like Hasan in their coalition.

                  ok?

                  so what?

                  again, they are spending more effort into attacking someone who is a representative of the left pull of the democratic base.

                  instead of doing their fucking job.

                  it is clear that democrats want the same things as republicans, but are not as brazen. they don’t want to interface with a youtuber, cool, fine, whatever, i don’t really care.

                  but they ignore the progressive pull at their own peril. it is already proved that they no longer have the leverage to demand a conservative democrat as a candidate and actually win elections.

                    By what metric? Sounds like you’re just mad that Democrats rightfully don’t want to include someone in their movement who’s core ideology is completely incompatible.

      Performative politics is all the rage.

      Hasan is a socialist at random. He’s utterly philosophically illiterate, so his positions are a flip of the coin. You might say, “fine, let’s use that,” and I agree - as long as you don’t lose sight of the fact that he’s a narcissistic grifter.

      In all seriousness, you can’t entrust political significance to character-deficient, uneducated dingdongs with no commitment to reality.

        Wow it’s almost like it’s impossible to have 100% consistency across 12 hours a day of talking…

          I watched Hassan become famous and his dishonest narcissistic imbecility is about the only consistent feature of his character. The cult of celebrity has its hooks in you.
