“Judge me by my enemies”
Trump is a terrible liability for humanity.
Does Trump even know what a Communist is?
To be fair, Hasan is a Communist, and has called himself as such in the past. He uses the Progressive and Democratic-Socialist labels more these days for the same reason he wears suits now, to look less threatening to the audience seeing him on TV.
Hasan is more of a communist-sympathizing social democrat. His strategy is overwhelmingly reformist.
At most you might say he’s a Democratic Socialist, because his goal is still to eventuate the abolition of capitalism. He’s a Communist who knows the best available action is political mobilization. He’s certainly not a SocDem who only wants to reform capitalism. He’s openly spoken in favor of worker revolution, but he’s also aware that such a thing isn’t possible in America, at least at this moment.
Democratic socialists are social democrats in practice, considering it is impossible to reform capitalism into socialism. Revolution is absolutely possible, but it isn’t something you trigger, it is a response to crisis with an organized revolutionary class. We need to organize so that crisis turns to revolution.
You’re saying what Hasan says, idk what else to tell you. He’s not trying to reform capitalism into socialism, he’s organizing a political base that will be capable of turning the coming political crises into a productive Communist movement.
I disagree that he is succeeding in that by going through the DSA and focusing so hard on electoralism. It’s important to understand the necessity of democratic centralism and consistent revolutionary rhetoric, because otherwise we fall into the same problems as the second international and the SPD.
Democratic Centralism…? Oooooh you’re a Tankie, I got it. I just noticed the domain.
Go back to your HoI4 campaign bud, and let the grownups do actual politics.
Does he ever know anything?
He doesn’t even know what time it is
Suck it Trump. You are the worst human to have ever been shit out of a womb.
I suppose a party liability such as Trump would be an expert in the field.
I don’t care what Trump thinks and know nothing about Hasan, nor do I care beyond understanding why the conservatives want his dick so bad
The world has way more labels for trump than trump has for others. trump’s voice tends to get amplified more because…you know…billionaire media owners.
Is that why the Republicans blasted a photo of him at their convention?

Trump talks about Hasan, because Trump wants Hasan’s name to be in people’s heads; because Hasan is controlled opposition.
What do you mean with him being controlled opposition?
It’s a fun word that means “not the right kind of left-wing” and can be applied to anyone you want!
Wasn’t it Sun Tsu who said not to interrupt your opponent when they are making a mistake? That’s why I don’t complain when Drumpf runs around the country stumping for the toadies in his own party. The orange ass-clown really believes his own hype that he’s popular.
Well, you can call a socialist who is thinking things through a communist. Why not?
Says the guy that has raped and killed infinitely more men women and children mathematically then piker ever has
That’s kind of a mixed compliment. I’m pretty sure Piker hasn’t raped and killed any men, women, or children.
Yes that was the implication. That’s why I said infinitely more mathematically. Even one is infinitely more than zero. And for Trump it’s easily in the hundreds if not thousands
And for Trump it’s easily in the hundreds if not thousands
If we’re talking just deaths, with his closure of USAID, reductions in health insurance, cuts to CDC, his covid response, etc. Trump has been the cause of millions of avoidable deaths.
Lancet estimates that Trump’s USAID closure alone will kill ~5 million children under the age of five by 2030.
To be fair, USAID is also partially responsible for killing millions. It’s a deliberate tool of soft-power that often gets funneled into the hands of pro-US dictators for military equipment, etc. The role of USAID is to make imperialism seem better.
Kind of a weird way to word it regardless
You say that like anyone on the fediverse is normal 😋. Dividing by zero always gives infinity. It may be mathematical and nerdy. But it’s also true and expositive. Though to be fair even Charles Manson was an amateur compared to Trump
I’ll admit, it’s been a while since I’ve mathed, but iirc, one is one more than zero
When dividing by zero as one would to compare the tolls. One is infinitely more than zero. So considering Trump is verifiably responsible for hundreds if not thousands already and potentially millions in the future. That Infinity is only getting larger by the moment.
Ultimately it comes down to the fact that. Anyone that can excuse pedophilia, rape and murder. Is someone that nobody should give a fuck what they think or say.
If Trump says Hasan is bad for Democrats, that means he must be fantastic for Democrats.

Stop trying to make Hasan Piker relevant
Every single headline about him could be about a progressive candidate.
That’s why neoliberals and Republicans live him. He takes up valuable real estate in people’s minds so they’re not talking about progressive candidate.
It’s hard to tell who’s doing it intentionally and who has twitch brainrot.
Hssan is supporting progressives candidates that’s why they are talking about him badly every day
He’s a proxy. They can use him no matter what, if a candidate they feared the most drops out or is defeated in primaries or dies or is removed they can just connect the next one to Hassan like he’s kevin bacon.
What the fuck are you talking about, and who is “they”?
Reread your own comment I responded to, and figure it out.
He’s relevant, there is no “try”, it’s done.
Why stop there? What about Mr. Beast’s opinions?
They literally just had Logan and Jake Paul give a speech at the Pentagon, at a time when Trump is posturing like he’s going to escalate the Iran War.
You may not care about a bunch of Twitch streamers but the fucking Executive Office of the United States does. These are very stupid times.
Yeah who gives a shit about a streamer?
Right? Who gives a shit about some NBC streamer?

I wouldn’t call Trump a centrist
The user I replied to is the centrist and he is agreeing with genocide trump in trashing Hassan who is platforming progressive Democrats candidates
I’m the kind of dumb liberal who gets power fifty percent of the time so you might want to show a little respect.
You wins fifty percent of time and failed each time leading to republicans winning after each 1 or 2 elections . You trash the progressive but when they wins you try to steal the wins and act like you never tried to sabotage it
When have progressives ever won?
Zohran?
Why?
He’s literally just some twitch streamer
Pretty sure algorithms are pushing him to make democrats look stupid
And Tucker Carlson is just some youtube streamer.
Joe Rogan is some spotify streamer.
Your point is a point without a point.
Many twitch streamers are influencial. That’s why many progressive candidate talked to him and that’s why establishment are going to fox news the media wing of the fascists to trash him. Establishment Democrats makes Democrats stupid
Where are you from? Not from the US…
I don’t know… I will admit the reason he’s fair game and relevant is because he has gone on campaign tours with el sayed and gotten interviews with other DSA candidates. I’d say he’s not relevant to the democrats as a whole, but individuals who bring him to campaign events… are liable in the same way that any republican candidate that invites Kanye or Fuentes is accepting some baggage from them.
That being said, I’d also point out Pikers baggage is just plain stupidly overblown as well. The guy streams for like 8 hours a day. The main “ammunition” against him, is one statement he made 8 years ago along the lines of “America deserved 9/11”. which he admitted he admitted was more of a misphrasing, and meant it as “america is responsible for the conditions that made 9/11 an inevitability”.
