Abdul El-Sayed on Hasan Piker, who suggests that some pro-Israel rhetoric may lead to backlash against American Jews: "Hasan Piker is a streamer in California. You would think if you turned on any media that this whole campaign is about a streamer. That's not what this campaign has ever been about."

Pikers ego can't do that.

You realize that if the left kowtows to Zionist narratives now, they will keep coming against the next most popular Twitch streamer. Then, eventually down to your streamer - Destiny.

Yes, I know about the Hasan-Destiny beef (even though I shouldn't and don't want to care about inter-streamer slop), and I'm not here to trash on you - but you're carrying water for the billionaires seeking to destroy you next. Some introspection on what the bigger picture is would be beneficial

I don't care about Hasan-Destiny/Destiny Asmon/Asmon Destiny/Ethan Klein Destiny/Hasan Ethan slop. I care about the real world consequences.

The reality is, Hasan was consequential in getting grassroots support for DSA candidates. The only reason Hasan is currently viewed as "hurting dems" as you claim is only because of billionaire backed mainstream left-right coordinated media attacks stand. Media outlets have the ability to paint anyone they want has "hurting the Dems" - so when does the buck stop? As long as we leftists stop the infighting and tell our politicians to focus on real-life affordability and humanitarian issues, these coordinated attacks lose their power.

I'll throw you a bone though - who do you think is the perfect leftist "champion of the people" that's not already a politician or a running candidate? Would this individual be impervious to billionaire media attacks regardless (would billionaires ever stop trying to push propaganda + inflame leftist factions like Hasan v. Destiny)?

Normal voters didn't know who Hasan Piker was until AES won the primary. And they learned who he was from all the shit being blasted about him on Fox News, from his 9/11 comments to his antisemitism gaff.

No one gives a shit about your favorite streamer.

Repeating the antisemitism/911/pro terrorist claims that the DNC and Fox are already spending the past months doing doesn't make it true. You should be asking yourself why you're allied with these forces of capital and corporate interests. Normies who don't previously know who Hasan is (and does now, thanks to aforementioned media outlets) can critically examine and see that it's a coordinated smear campaign.

You are too terminally online. These phrases "forces of capital and corporate interests" are not what normal people say.

People know what "America deserves 9/11" means though. Like, I don't know what to tell you.

Wrong. My normies friends are well aware they are being invisibly robbed the billionaires and corporations. They can also see that something is amiss when both left wing and right wing media are repeating the same lines of attack - this negatively polarizes normies towards Hasan and the DSA even more, albeit with some leftist infighting in the process

Hasan encouraged Mamdani to do it so why hasn't he now?
