Dude just loves riling himself up into a frenzy, doesn’t he? I guess he was mad that Hasan was going to interview Obama, which never even happened, and now he thinks Hasan is a “genocide supporter” because a random YouTube clip he came across that said “Hasan supports Kamala’s policies”, which he never even watched and was most likely just clipped. Hasan isn’t perfect, but fuck, you think at least him going to the DNC as a journalist would be considered fair from BE. Wild.

    he explicitly says all the time that he is overly nice to people on camera even when he disagrees with them so that he can hopefully deprogram their followers. its like you don’t understand the concept of media or propaganda, or are being intentionally obtuse.

          have they? they’ve made half the people on a supposedly “leftist” forum defend statements like “he’s on the fence about Kamala and waiting until she changes her mind on genocide to endorse her”

          Like imagine saying something that stupid with a straight face. Never would have happened before Hasan

                    if the plan is to get someone’s followers on the DNC agenda then they shouldn’t kick that someone from the DNC. this is part of the rest of the conversation you’re in, where some people feel that this streamer is the same type of careerist as AOC. i think it is self evident that if that was the case, then DNC wouldn’t have kicked them out.

      also, i think there’s a fundamental disconnect from Hasan and his fans who see the DNC libs as annoying and misinformed but fundamentally OK people.

      I, and other hardline communists, see the US as a fourth reich and the DNC as little Nazi genocidal fucks. When I see someone who is supposed to be “on my side” cozying up with them and hugging them, I don’t think “wow so glad he is de-radicalizing those fascists” I think “what the fuck is this rich shithead doing? Is he a traitor to our cause like all the other people who schmooze up to the nazis have been historically”
