Democrats spent the last year asking where their Joe Rogan was. Hasan Piker is one of the few left-wing figures with the audience they covet — but the party is deeply hostile to the spontaneity and independence that make figures like him appealing.

    Ethan Klein, Destiny, and Dan Saltman all have a hard on to take Hasan down and collaborate on how to do so frequently. They’re obsessed.

    You have fallen for a disinformation campaign.

        Being knowledgeable about who Hasan is is not the same as falling for a cult of personality, but nice try lol

          So you’re denying he shocks his dog to keep him in place for the camera?

          Hasan is a giant piece of shit. Period.

            You clearly have never watched his streams, so it’s very easy to dismiss your claims on this.

            You’re more than welcome to continue to try to spread rumors about Hasan and “take him down”, but he’s part of the political landscape, he’s a voice on the left that is sorely lacking for quite a large demographic, and he is an influential pundit whether you like it or not.

              You’re right, of course.

              He never tortured his dog for streaming aesthetics, except for all the times it was captured live on video.

              Oh, how I wish idiocy was a Maga exclusive.
