Picking a fight with Hasan Piker while midterms are gearing up is the dumbest fucking idea. The consultant class really is a problem when it comes to meaningful change. (TikTok screencap)

    He is trying to build bridges. But the establishment Democrats are terrified of more Zohrans popping up in the Democratic Party.

      Upon reflection, I don’t know if that’s true. He certainly was the one burning the bridges during the 2024 election. Which is why I’m still conflicted and unconfident in this opinion. I’m just scared that we’re allowing the far right to win by fighting amongst ourselves. If the right sweep these midterms like they did the 2024 election, then it’s just over for America…

        IIRC, he did a poll during the election stream, and around 80% of his viewers voted for Kamala Harris. The main point that he’s pushing is that he can’t endorse Harris because she’s going the blue MAGA route, and that’s not going to be resonating with the average Joe and Jane on the street. Just watch the video that Zohran did when he’s starting out during his political campaign, doing man-on-the-street interviews. But even Hasan voted for Kamala in the end.

        IMHO, there’s nothing wrong with demanding better from the politicians. Just see what Zohran is doing in New York right now. Most of the “difficulties” that the old-school politicians said are just them not giving a shit.
