pike rocketed into mainstream fame out of nowhere like graham platner did and the american gov’t has a well documented history of elevating candidates who have progressive aesthetics with little-to-no progressive beliefts to prevent americans from elective progressive candidates.
i’m positing that piker and platner were both elevated because people feel that they’re progressive, but they only have centrist platforms.
No he didn’t lol. He started in the young Turks in like 2013. He’s been streaming on twitch since 2018. Yes his popularity has increased quite a bit in recent years, but it was not “out of nowhere”
i’m positing that piker and platner were both elevated because people feel that they’re progressive, but they only have centrist platforms.
At this point, he’s to the left of Bernie Sanders, who is to the left of most of the Democratic party. For a figure in the United States, he’s not a centrist. Especially on the subject of Palestine. If anything he’s been elevated as punching bag for centrists.
I’m not versed enough in Piker lore to say either way but this definitely feels like a stretch. His dad is also a leftwing political commentator with similar beliefs.
Establishment Democrats actively try to distance themselves from him, too.
Who is his dad? If you mean his uncle, Cenk, he’s been a reactionary for a while. He performs radicalism but he’s a dumbass at best, a grifter at worst. Hasan seems a lot better than Cenk.
I was just saying he was exposed to politics at a young age and had the nepo boost going for him. I checked his wiki page and didn’t know he worked AT the young Turks
He began streaming on Twitch in March 2018, while working at The Young Turks, leaving the network in 2020 to focus full-time on his streaming career.
So even more reason to think his rise to fame isn’t suspicious. Democrats are famously bad at planning long term, I find it hard to believe they planted this seed 8 years ago
calling anyone in the piker clan leftwing is the stretch here since they’re liberals that only differ from democrats due their criticism of isreali zionism.
and establishment democrats once distanced themselves from obama too – democrats are schools of fish that simply do what their neighbor is doing without much thought as they collectively swim away from whatever they perceive to be a shark atm.
This is what the Democratic Party does; it’s who they are. They’re willing to feign support for anything their voters want just as long as there’s no chance that they can pass it. They won control of Congress in the 2006 midterm elections by pretending they wanted to compel an end to the Iraq War and Bush surveillance and interrogation abuses because they knew they would not actually do so; and indeed, once they were given the majority, the Democratic-controlled Congress continued to fund the war without conditions, to legalize Bush’s eavesdropping program, and to do nothing to stop Bush’s habeas and interrogation abuses (“Gosh, what can we do? We just don’t have 60 votes).
greenwald called it 16 years ago and harry byrd predating manchin or sinema by over a half century proves that democrats have been doing this longer than most of us have been alive – it’s called the ratchet effect.
i suspect that the was a pre-release version of graham platner, but decided to go w being a personality rather than a politician like his uncle.
Sorry but I don’t know what this means

You have no idea what you are talking about.
that’s usually true. lol
but this doesn’t require anything beyond being a student of american history.
Apparently it does. Hasan is a twitch streamer, not a politician
He’s also part of the “dirtbag left” which is much more like alt/actual left than centrist

Oh, yeah I thought that was his dad lol

I don’t even follow him but I know that’s bullshit lol
The ONLY difference is his criticism of Israel? Really?
Yeah the op guy just a fucking idiot.
I hate when people prove their instance stereotype to be true. Not everyone on .ml is like that but this person is so .ml
This coming from reddit.world is 🤌
when have they split from the democrats?
The reason AOC and several others were able to get elected was because of justice democrats which Cenk helped create.
i’ll just put this right here.
Oh I’m sorry I didn’t realize UBI, universal healthcare, and being pro-China are standard Democrat positions.
