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.

    and continue to live a ‘normal’ urban lifestyle.

    See, that’s a path I just can’t get on. As crazy as I may seem tho, my gf is more more hardcore. She’d be fine without indoor plumbing, but fuck that, I want my fucking hot showers! I’m pretty tough, but she’s tougher. She doesn’t even go online and wouldn’t even check out Lemmy when I was trying to explain it to her. lol

      You don’t seem crazy for your lifestyle; you seem crazy for your political naivete.

      I actually ‘get’ the whole prepper/homesteading thing, BTW. For me, that lifestyle would be a very close third after “urban/walkable” and “itinerant boat-person,” and come way ahead of “typical car-dependent suburbanite.”
