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.

    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.
