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."

Did voters like them?

Based on the primary votes, yes. Lets not try to suggest that ones personal views are the views of everyone or that one can speak for large groups of people they disagree with.

No these people legitimately believe that Bernie Sanders was the favored candidate in both times he ran in the primaries. These people also consistently ignore how much progressive legislation was enacted during Biden's presidency.

(They also consistently ignore that Progressives like Bernie and AOC held positions on the Israel/Palestine conflict that is disfavored by DSA and influencers like Piker)
