are you saying hasan 2028
It's so weird that they're focusing so much on him though. I know Trump likes to talk about TDS, but the social media pundits/MSM are in total lockstep about this. That is actual "derangement."
It reminds me of Corbyn tbh. Initially it did boost Corbyn and the entire country recognised that he was being attacked for nothing. But eventually it worked.
It doesn't have to be rational. Do it long enough and the emotional association settles in despite the irrationality of the attacks, allegations, accusations, etc.
That's because Corbyn blinked. The winning strat is to double down, never apologize, and always be on the attack.
Maybe but that was not that possible with IRA stuff and that's where things really started to leak through, it was "he supports the IRA" I heard on doorsteps the most.
I really think that's because he blinked. Never apologize, never admit fault, always be on the attack.
Though now that I think about it, saying "there were fine people on both sides" might be literally illegal in the UK?
He needs to get up there and say Buttigeg has a dog for a husband or whatever it was Trump said about Cruz. Extra points because Buttigeg would get his wires crossed when talking about dogs.
'If my husband's a dog, how come I haven't killed him?'
This would make me vote for Pete
Because he's not a spouse killer or because he is a dog killer?? or is it just cause it'd be a politician speaking honestly for once
The last part. And because it is a funny answer. I vote for the funniest candidate, which is why I write in Hilary every election. Yes I spell it wrong on purpose
The mechanism of gaining popularity because some people hate you is well established and Hasan obviously isn't going to reach the same heights that Trump did. He also was extremely popular long before the establishment recognized him.
can you show me an example of centrist Dems focusing on him? I know Republicans have been acting like he leads the party.
That depends on what your definition of "centrist" and "focusing" is I suppose. I personally think that an unprompted surrender to rightwing framing is damning enough. With that said, this is my list off the top of my head:
A bunch of them (including leadership) publicly condemned him.
Henry Cuellar recently made comments about Hasan making Jews at University of Texas feel less safe.
Cuomo basically started this nonsense when he held a press conference about Hasan Piker's American deserved 9/11 quote. Cuomo later went on to demand Zohran "Mandami" condemn Hasan during a debate..
A current Senate race revolves around him and they're trying to get those centrist Dems and they did the same thing in the primaries.
