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.

    But me saying that I didn’t like Harris so I chose to vote third party, is not giving false facts.

    The notion that third parties are viable in the Presidential election – especially when it’s only a month or two away and most people don’t have a clue who the third-party candidates even are! – is 100% misinformation.

      I never said anything of the sort. I said I was proud to vote third party, and I’m still proud to. And I will in the next election too. :)

        So back in 2024 you were intentionally telling people to do a thing you yourself didn’t believe would work? And then you wondered why people attacked you for it?

          I didn’t tell anyone to do anything. I told my thoughts about how I was gonna vote and why I came to that conclusion.

          I think people should vote for whoever they want to win. We, as citizens, have that right. I supported it then, I support it now.

          Heck vote for Trump if ya want to. I certainly wouldn’t, but i don’t think you should be banned anywhere for saying you would. Part of being part of a democracy is accepting that not everyone agrees with you. And that’s ok.

          We are allowed to vote for whoever we want. And I did. And said why I did. And I will do again in the future.

            Even when the vote is to end the democracy and replace it with a totalitarian dictatorship? 'Cause that’s what fucking happened.
