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 :’(
here’s the “terrorist propaganda” moment. you can see how visibly uncomfortable it makes his friend.

important to note that whatever your feelings on this clip hasan piker is a california twitch streamer and does NOT represent leftism or progressivism. DSA politician zohran mamdani has publicly denounced instances of hasan piker’s language.
All these right-wing smears have been debunked (see description for the timestamps of each smear)
I hope you also realize that Mamdani and Abdul are still friends with and have regular contact with Hasan, which makes these smears even more strange coming from an Abdul fan
yeah i’ve watched that whole stream when it aired, my opinion was honestly bolstered.
i even skipped ahead today to 4:27:50 where my above complaint is “addressed” and nothing was “debunked”; he just compared Saudi Arabia to ISIS which is absolutely a valid argument but does not excuse restreaming Houthi propaganda. neither American nor Israeli nor Saudi nor Houthi propaganda should be treated with such frivolity.
If you don’t fuck with anti-imperialism, that’s your choice. But to me it’s pretty clear he was not “excusing houthi propaganda” when you watch the full clip. He’s also talked extensively about the ongoing Genocide in Yemen, and how all aspects of that affect the daily lives of the Yemeni people
i actually do fuck with anti-imperialism and i fuck with it heavy! i also am deeply sympathetic to the yemeni plight under the imperialist west.
that DOESN’T mean i have to condone hasan restreaming and clapping and laughing along to houthis, the vast majority of whose civilian victims have been yemeni.
So your upset he shared a part of Yemeni culture for like a minute? I’m sorry but that’s a ridiculous thing to hyper-focus on, especially once you acknowledge the entire scope about his coverage of the Yemeni people’s plight and interviewed a Yemeni teenager to talk about his experience growing up under that genocide.
So, he plays an anti-Saudi Arabia and anti-Israel resistance group’s music video, and that counts as terrorist propaganda? Like, I don’t support Houthis’ political ideology either, but when they’re against such sociopathic imperialist war criminals I will also side with them.
And yeah, I know many of the entryist DSA candidates are slowly but surely moving rightwards.
lets get real I would rather live amongst the houthis than amongst genocide supporting israel controlled zionist oprrated child eating US government. it is literally that simple. one side is good the other is evil
that’s crazy to admit you’d side with the Houthis
i personally side with international human rights organizations, relief charities, and NGOs engaging with the victims of Saudi Arabia and Israel because they do a better job at like… not killing innocents, but hey that’s just me crazy lib over here
That’s crazy you’d admit to siding with the genocide state.
I think this shows your ass more than you know. I wish one day this opinion would haunt you but I’m afraid you would need to have thoughts beyond Hasan bad.
gross and weird that you conclude i support genocidal terrorists Israel’s IOF based on just that. team sports syndrome. free Palestine.
Yeah, their strongly worded letters will end the genocide one day 😀
geez! why would you say that?
anyway you’re blocked… anyone reading this please consider donating to these “strongly worded letters”
in addition, please organize and fight for justice against the government organizations that ghoulishly fail to protect or downright attack/murder these heroes in clearly marked aid convoys.
palestine & gaza
yemen
global
Let’s all pray that your money doesn’t go to killing another one of these defenseless aid workers.
Oh, nevermind. They wrote a strongly-worded letter for that as well.
With over 1,000 aid workers killed in 3 years, often at the hands of Member States, UN Relief Chief demands accountability
Have fun reinforcing your lib echo-chamber 👍
