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 really don’t like clinton either but thanks for the broad strokes accusation & insult combo silly goose
The point is that you’re taking the bait set out by right-wing and Israel-backed smear campaigns and that you even care about Hasan wearing a Mao suit is a result of that. If Hillary came out and said free Palestine they would start non-stop accusing her of being a Chinese psy-op using her Mao suit preference as “evidence.” Most of the things listed in the last paragraph of your post are false such as Hasan denying the Uyghur genocide, supporting the invasion of Tibet, and lying about LGBTQ rights in China. You only believe these things about him because you have accepted the mainstream media lies about him at face value and refuse to think for yourself. As for the Houthis, characterizing them as terrorists and considering someone a terrorist supporter for reacting to their propaganda is hypocritical if you don’t apply the same logic to those reacting to US or Israeli military propaganda because they are also terrorists (and much more prolific ones at that).
you clearly don’t watch his streams, and that’s okay. just know i have been observing and concerned with piker longer than most people here knew he existed. he doesn’t represent me nor the left.
I think you just outed yourself as a chronically online hate-watcher who should not be taken seriously. You realize it’s not normal to regularly watch content made by someone you hate for years, right?
plenty of leftists like me observe the output of harmful political and social figures. for example i keep regular tabs on andrew tate, bill mahr, candace owens, tim pool, ben shapiro, john fetterman, graham platner (formerly) and even/especially the president and the entirety of the AIPAC-funded congress.
i don’t know what to say other than you’re blowing things way out of proportion.
I keep tabs on political figures I don’t like as well. I don’t do it by watching their content regularly for years. Your online habits are abnormal and unhealthy.
also i looked it up and piker’s is far more Mao-esque, clinton seems to wear like orange and white but piker’s is like classic mao suit grey so… i’m not an authoritarian fashion historian just my personal insight
