hasan piker (guy on the right) does not represent the left and is not worthy of your attention.
he is actively making abdul el-sayed’s chances at election worse and i am frustrated about it given the stakes so i made this meme.
because like. my absolute BESTIE abdul el-sayed is out here working miracles at home trying to keep poc, migrant, low-income, queer, etc. people alive and doing the actual work of building a coalition, including making real inroads with his Jewish constituency, while being explicitly pro-Palestinian and rejecting AIPAC money.
hasan piker has made a handful of appearances with both abdul and zohran, but now abdul is getting viciously smeared for hasan’s own words, with fox news literally turning things hasan said into attack-ad material against him. and hasan just will not read the room and step back.
this is the same BOZO hasan piker who wears mao outfits, plays literal terrorist propaganda videos for his friends and goes “they’re just very musical people,” denies the Uyghur genocide, supports the invasion of Tibet, lies about queer rights in China while going on tours, and has said enough insane shit that even my OTHER bestie zohran mamdani disavowed him months ago. and the room is STILL unread and some people are trying to tell me i have to fall on the sword for piker.
do i have to beg ;;;;;;
i just want candidates who aren’t evil to win :’(
I thought Abdul was a democratic socialist, not a social democrat?
he’s actually not DSA but he does have the approval of some DSA members. Mamdani is DSA. clarified in the edit!
Socdems succ off the dems (okay they’re further left than the US Democrats but it’s funny). Demsocs are dem socialists
this is exactly what i needed thanks for the mnemonic 😭

That’s a 10 minute video, no thanks. Why don’t you watch the video and then just spend two minutes telling Me what happened.

In no world is that a right wing libertarian dogwhistle let’s be so for real.
El-Sayed isn’t DSA and, while he has the approval of many DSA members, he is also free to moderate his speech to be effective in the unfortunately highly propagandized context of the American Midwest.
The right, conservatism, and especially fascism are all explicitly the ones associated with the denial of science so I am asking us not to kid ourselves here.

got it, so he’s not a landlord per se but there’s definitely some real estate entanglement with that could certainly be a conflict of interest liability. and it’s residential property too looks like. hasan piker’s mother i believe is also a residential property landlord and that disgusts me so i certainly apply the same principle here.
thanks for sharing! again this is genuinely new to me so i appreciate it.

obviously i encourage doing your own source analysis toward your own conclusions—
but also the source they linked is basically the socialist-imperialist (tankie) version of right-wing conspiracy channels
proceed with caution is all i would say

I’m not sure how that’s a dog whistle for the right… The right HATES science and it comes off to me like he’s making a point about what works instead of playing stupid word games.
[removed]
Is that you in the video? You’re no better than the right in my opinion. Also playing words games and saying nothing useful with no hard evidence.

Your entire reply to me was about things you “said”… You didn’t say them in this reply chain as far as I can tell. But I’m not going to go around searching for your other comments.
Anyways. I hold out for Abdul and he sends much more legitimate to me than most others claiming to be progressive.
Same! I am all for a candidate that works as intelligently as El-Sayed on policy helping material social issues, whether or not he claims to be socialist in name matters less to me than the people he’s working to help.

You linked a 10 minute video that I only watched part of.
Post your entire thought process or don’t. I’m not wasting 10 minutes on bad takes.
You either are right wing, or a tankie, and both like to play word games that I don’t condone. If he’s not who he says he is, then who do YOU think should win the Senate race?
