this is overstating it a bit, it's kind of unfalsifiable because it's not like we can accurately poll organizers, and it would be even more impossible to know if hasan is a driving factor behind someone becoming and remaining a radlib instead of going further left. A big emerging thing though is he's starting to use his stream to try and help move elections so that is something to keep an eye on. I think it's fair to say he's a relatively harmless source of entertainment and it's unlikely he's doing any significant harm to the movement, but I hesitate to say with certainty that he is a very valuable piece of a pipeline im not actually sure is meaningful.
I'll grant that the use of "very" there is overstating it, I have a tendency to do that, but a number of people here have mentioned that a noticable amount of people in their orgs cite him as a factor in them starting to move left and organize. I didn't mean to imply that he's the end all be all of moving someone left. He tries to move people into spaces where other socialists pick these people up and keep moving them along and keep them engaged in the work. That, plus seemingly the entire mainstream media trying to paint him as a demon means he's not completely ineffectual. The political establishment is afraid of him to some degree, maybe if only because he's started to really lean in to promoting candidates.
