Yeah I get that in terms of Hasan but also he could just stream himself talking about international politics, or just politics in general, without doing the DNC endorsements and saying shit like “actually you’re wrong for caring about the fact that Platner isn’t a good candidate because of the nazi tattoo, the mercenary work, etc. he needs to win otherwise you’re never getting anything like universal healthcare but go off king i’ll be there with you when you start the revolution” to anyone in his chat/online who raises the point to him. Entryism and its consequences.

I actually have a lot less sympathy for the Chapos when it comes to this because they’re outside of the whole Twitch.tv ecosystem and while Patreon does have the ultimate say over their $2.4 million dollars a year, it is insane to me for them to make the mistake with Fetterman and then immediately go “Yeah I’m supporting Graham Platner” to which I can only say: …okay, here’s hoping he gets M4A passed, maybe that’ll put him back in the positive for ‘lives saved’ versus ‘lives taken’ (I have no idea if Graham Platner has ever killed a man but I’d wager he probably watched multiple die over the course of his time in Abu Ghraib and did nothing so he’s in the negative as it stands given his pride of having served)
