I was the last one to incite a debate about Hasan on this site, and this was the comment that reframed my thinking positively.
Also, I don't think his readings are "lies" they're just readings!
If you read Lenin telling people it can be productive to vote for a proletarian political party even in a bourgeois system and use that to tell people they should vote for the democrats then you are a fucking liar, full stop. That is explicitly the opposite of what the passage says. This is what makes it clear that while he could fill the role you're talking about, he is choosing not to. He is funneling people into being democrat voters and explicitly directing them away from the left. Like, he literally shouts down anyone who tries to suggest actual left wing ideas on favour of, once again, misrepresenting Lenin in order to convince people to vote democrat. That is not useful or productive unless the end goal you want is barbarism. Personally I am hoping for socialism.
