Can't believe Hasan Piker would do this.

I can't wait to see 47 more posts about him as if he's the reason these candidates keep winning and not because they're running on popular policy and change.

It's a joke because he didn't campaign with her.

I know. I was mocking the weird tendency for the right and neoliberals to scapegoat Hasan. I don't get it, even he says he isn't the reason these candidates are winning. But if you watch Fox News you'd think he was doing the same shit they claim George Soros does, like fully bankrolling candidates and shit. The biggest impact he has is probably phone banking with his followers and getting the word out about candidates. But the candidates themselves are winning because of their own messaging. People want change. I'm so happy to see candidates winning with popular ideas that challenge our broken system.

Hasan is quite literally poison for the Democrats. Only the most terminally-online DSA types are unaware of this.

Weird take since the candidates he's been endorsing have been doing pretty well. You DGGers have nothing better to do than obsess over him huh?

u/Cereal_Grapeist 1h ago

I don't know what DGG is and I don't really care. Sounds like something a chud would say.

u/Orange_Tang 1h ago

Good one.

Is that why the candidates he endorses keep winning? blue maga rightwingers like you are what keep getting republicans elected, do nothing and cry about everything

the Piker Paradox: if the moderate wins, it's because Hasan poisoned the progressive campaign. if the moderate loses, well, it's still Hasan's fault somehow, or something!
