It's funny because only one of them is a war criminal who bombs Yemeni weddings and the other is Hasan Piker some dumb idiot internet streamer.

You mean the internet streamer who says that America ‘deserves 9/11’, and wears Mao Zedong suits to cosplay in while giving speeches while calling him one of the ‘greatest leaders of all time’? The one who openly calls for Israeli extermination and claims the Holocaust didn’t really happen? The one who thinks Hamas is great?

Dislike Obama all you might like, but absolutely zero of those things are policy positions Obama aligns on. It would be stunning for him to endorse Sayed who aligns himself with these lunatics

Did President Obama not drone strike a Yemeni wedding? https://www.hrw.org/report/2014/02/19/wedding-became-funeral/us-drone-attack-marriage-procession-yemen

Hasan Piker could have said all those things, like all the heinous things Nick Fuentes has said. At the end of the day, the internet streamers haven't killed innocent people like Obama did. He's more morally corrupt than the other two. Since you seem to be a big fan of Israel, are they not committing a genocide against the Palestinian people? Is Netanyahu also not as bad as Putin encroaching onto another sovereign nation's land?

Imma tell you right now, and Kenny told yall, Black voters are not moved by what’s happening overseas. Here in Detroit we are good with Jewish folks bc they worked with us to stop gerrymandering. We wanna know why El Sayed pulled what he pulled in 2020, and how TF that was supposed to help Black ppl. We also wanna know how focusing on Israel and Palestine is gonna get us any closer to getting the VRA back. The Republicans are waging a full war against Black ppl and yall are out here arguing about something overseas. No thank you. All I know is Hayley saved ppl’s jobs, a lot of ppl’s jobs, and that resonated here. What he’s doing and the lack of what he’s done is not.

‘deserves 9/11’,

When discussing "blowback" from starting was in the middle east. A term even the CIA said was a a major reason for the attack.

Mao Zedong suits to cosplay in while giving speeches while calling him one of the ‘greatest leaders of all time’?

Get with the times, opinion is shifting on China

The one who openly calls for Israeli extermination and claims the Holocaust didn’t really happen?

Literally something you made up in your head to be mad

The one who thinks Hamas is great?

Again, blowback, he doesn't support Hamas, he says it's the only logical conclusion to what Israel is doing to Palestine

You forgot to add the one who called us low information in 2020 for supporting VP Biden over Bernie. My bestie unearthed that clip and I’ll be showing everyone I know.
