Apologies in advance for further inundating everybody’s headspace with celebrity slop, but I wanted to blab about this:

I generally have no faith in public personalities to hold any convictions at all, so it has been refreshing for Hasan to adhere to his position against voting for Gruesome Newscum. I don’t at all mean to imply that he’s perfect, or that people should look to him as a leader in any respect, it’s just nice to see something like that happening and getting broad exposure. Feels good.

    I’ll admit I got pretty annoyed with people who were out there parrotting that stupid electric collar story. I do watch Hasan YouTube videos, I find majority report really tedious and liberal. But like sometimes I want to hear the news from a non insane perspective.

      i think i worded it a bit poorly, i didn’t have an outright lie like Kayagate in my mind when i wrote that. rather i was referring to the people who get disproportionately hostile over the mildest thing because they’re taking someone not liking Hasan as much as them personally. there’s probably a better way to phrase it but i cant think of it at the moment
