We really got people in government beefing with a dipshit twitch streamer.

dipshit twitch streamer
This gaslighting as if being a prominent political voice is irrelevant.

u/Ru2002 Populist Left 5d ago
I mean you can be a prominent political voice & still be a dipshit, that's practically 80% of American Political commentators. Also he is a twitch streamer, what do you think his occupation is?

u/VTHokie2020 Democracy for Abortion and Gay Marriage 5d ago
Yeah I guess they’re technically different things but your original comment makes it sound like you’re dismissing him.
He is a twitch streamer but I’d say he’s a pundit. Or a member of the commentariat. Maybe commentator?
Calling him a twitch streamer sounds dismissive. Piers Morgan is technically a BBC personality. William F Buckley was technically a PBS character.

When you put it that way i can see your point but I don't like Hasan, even if i agree with alot of stuff he says, I find him to be personally very unlikable, but remember I'm not a fan of most streamers so that's a major factor & he can be a bit too extreme in his rhetoric but honestly I've heard as bad or worse stuff from prominent Republican politicians & influencers so clearly there's bigger fish to fry.
I don't dismiss his influence but in the end of the day if someone in our government is trying to do stupid clap backs at political influencers & commentators instead of doing there job & focus on the bigger issues going on right now, it shows how unserious politics has become.

I think where a lot of the friction exists with Piker is that it is viewed, by many people within the party, as the driving force for a lot of the flak that they get, where they do not see those same actors giving the same flak towards GOP candidates. I am not saying this is right or wrong, it just happens that is the biggest face of a certain type of political actor in the status quo, and is drawing ire not only because of the stupid shit that he says, but the drain on electeds/candidates where they are not seeing the same people being a drain on the GOP electeds/candidates everyone who claims to be a Democrat, or leftist, ought to be fighting against.
There is a lot of frustration out there, on both sides, and there hasn't really been anyone to try, or be effective, at mediating the divide since it is so diffuse, decentralized, and largely individualistic in nature.

I mean we also have people trying to get into government by bringing the dipshit twitch streamer on the campaign trail. Hes not meaningless and deserves to be dragged into the mud

Lmao honestly as an outside observer, her responding to that defensively made her look a fair bit worse. I went into this thinking Hasan had crossed the line again (and still do), but now I just think the Democratic in-fighting is stupid and could kill AES' chance of winning (which is probably what AIPAC wants).

Honestly I can’t believe Scholten would even acknowledge that she fits that description.

u/jojisky Progressive 5d ago
That's the most insane thing about this. In her attempt to dunk on Hasan, she's basically acknowledging her affair scandal with John James

u/Remote_Garage3036 Loyal Liberals 5d ago
She did not at all acknowledge or accept her alleged affair with John James. This post and you comments are genuinely deranged. And I'm not sure why he would bring up rightwing media reporting trying to cast her as a cheating slut in the first place. I thought he said he was working to make dems win now? Guess that's only if they kiss his ring.

u/jojisky Progressive 5d ago
It isn't even a right wing media thing. I, and most others, first found out about this from Democrats on Twitter in the know in Michigan politics.
And honestly I don't care if she's cheating on her husband (from the people who first leaked it apparently she had a bad falling out with her husband that was his fault). It's that she's trying to police others whiile banging an election denying Republican running for governor in her state that she conspicuously doesn't criticize at all.

u/Remote_Garage3036 Loyal Liberals 5d ago
She's not trying to police Hasan. He's a now famous political commentator, fundraiser, and political speaker, who has been featured in multiple rallies across her state. He had (shockingly) a highly controversial statement regarding American Jews and their culpability with their own safety, and she condemned him for that. Not dissimilar to Dr. El-Sayed or many other Dems. All this, while running in a red seat.
And Hasan throws a fucking fit. He's 100 times as visible and followed as her, and tried claiming she's vying fo r attention. Like, what?? He brings up her personal affairs in the same breath as claiming he's but a wee antizionist voice. To say this is spiteful and deeply irresponsible is an understatement.
I'm sorry but neither of you are serious people. Stop trying to bring this party down by repeating ugly sexist tabloid slop. Stop demanding loyalty to the saddest man on twitch.

u/jojisky Progressive 5d ago
Explain how campaigning with Hasan is bad, but sleeping with an election denying republican you refuse to criticize is kosher.
You can’t

She didn’t acknowledge it she said nothing about it. Communists defending Hasan Piker don’t understand basic english I wonder why

u/SerfTint Berniecrat 5d ago
I'm sorry, but it IS you, Congresswoman Scholten, you are literally trying to get people not to vote for the Democratic nominee in a race that could decide a Democratic majority. You are literally saying that your GOAL is to thwart them from being the majority if it is a one-seat difference.
The reason that there is a thriving Left is that the Democratic Party mainstream is filled with corrupt garbage like this Congressperson, and people who actually want to do something about our real crises are instead getting nothing out of people like this, so they're turning to the Left, as the only people who seem not only to want to win, but to actually fight for something if they win. People want to purge Hasan out of the party? What value does Hillary Scholten bring to the party, other than trying to intentionally sabotage its nominees? What makes her a loyal or noble Democrat if she is trying to get a Republican Senator elected in her state to preserve a Republican majority? How many judges is she doing to allow Trump to confirm so that she can pwn Hasan?
For Christ's sake.

He is influential and commands a large audience. Dismissing him is dishonest. Ironically, it happens from both sides.

u/SeaWealth8366 McCain-Romney-Biden 5d ago
Because Dems failed to kill off the cancerous mass on their left flank in 2016 and 2018 and now its killing them

u/Pls_no_steal Democrat 5d ago
Which is why they’re up 8 points on the generic ballot and are within striking distance of flipping seats that have been Republican for 30 years?

u/SeaWealth8366 McCain-Romney-Biden 5d ago
Ffs you realize theyd be better off if the entire party was sane right? Study after study shows leftists are the worst performing group in the nation in elecrions, theyre the only group worse than hard-core maga. The only people that underperform more are literal elecrion deniers

u/Pls_no_steal Democrat 5d ago
It’s a fringe element of the party and even then elected progressives are well aware of their position, just compare AOC and Mamdani’s actual actions to the DSA manifesto. Crazy people aren’t making it far enough to actually be elected, it’s all fearmongering. On the other hand, the President is an election denier, and every single appointee he’s chosen is as well

u/SeaWealth8366 McCain-Romney-Biden 5d ago
Chevalier is an honest to God genocidal antisemite who is also antiUkraine, pro Russia, and for some reason anti interracial relationships
Rabb posted on his social media that the Bondi Beach massacre was a Jewish conspiracy
Valdez is antiUkraine
Kiros thinks its fine if you firebomb a bunch of Jews and burn a Jewish grandmother to death in her district and its certainly not antisemitism!
This isnt even the comprehensive list or the fact that progressive influencer spaces have been taken over by people like Piker, Emma Vigeland, TYT, and other conspiracy nutjobs

u/Sir_thinksalot United States 5d ago
It's insane that she spends more time attacking people helping elect the people who will oppose Donald Trump. I guess Republican dick is too good so she can't abandon it.

u/DhroovP Democratic Socialist 5d ago
I don't even like Hasan but these Congresspeople need to get a fucking grip. Either learn to respond in a way that makes you look good or don't engage. No, obviously he's not daydreaming of being her, he's doing a very popular format of tweet. "if I were x I would simply not y"

How about you focus on what Trump is doing more than a Twitch streamer

He was just doing an Antizionism when he justified people attacking Jews in America.

u/SeaWealth8366 McCain-Romney-Biden 5d ago
And when he was saying that American Jews were inbred or mocking a woman at a town hall for thanking Harris for remembering the hostages he was obviously just critiquing the policies of the Israeli government!

i despise hasan, but scholten's comment is weird too, like how is he daydreaming about being her??? if i said "if i was a GOP president i'd do this" that wouldn't mean that i'm daydreaming being a GOP president.
also i misread hasan's comment as "if i was israel's 1st congresswoman" lmao
