Going to go with neither.
Agreed lol
Who is a more popular, effective communicator of Democratic party and politically left policy goals that you can point to as superior? Hasan is extremely skilled at explaining progressive policies in an approachable fashion.
He’s not the best by any means, and he’s way above Biden so he isn’t the worst on the left lol
I don’t think folks are superior or inferior in general. I don’t think this dude is bad let alone the worst. Nor do I think he is the best….
I’m glad he is connecting with his audience to explain policy which is one of the most important things… I’m not his biggest fan but I see him in the news
He seems generally pretty cool to me 👍 👍
Biden is a former VP and President of the United States.
Hasan is a dude who streams on Twitch.
What an absurd comparison.
The comparison is to the left or the right, not level of fame.
And the comparison to Biden was meant as a joke. I see you are taking yourself way too seriously. According to cable news Biden is actually on the left.
I don't mind Hassan but if internet celebrities are running for office, I think I'd prefer a Hank Green/Brandon Ewing ticket.
I didn't touch on that and there's no reason to ask me it.
I just don't think he's that significant. I understand that people are grabbing into any left side version of the hate machine that the right has been so successful with with their male podcasters. I don't think that they're going to find that that works on the left.
Hasan isn't a hate machine though?
This is what makes me so angry, the casual uninterested willingness to accept the rightwing framing of leftists as just as violent, hateful and dangerous as rightwing extremists by people like you.
Hasan is nothing like Nick Fuentes, Charlie Kirk, Ben Shapiro, Asmongold etc... he despises ideologies of hate and exclusion.
