why are they focusing on a twitch streamer at a political convention
I don’t know who this guy is, or why MAGA is so obsessed by him. I’ve never heard one word from him, and don’t even know where Id go to hear him, or see him, or whatever he does. He literally has no influence in my life, at all. I suspect MOST Democrats are like me, and I’m not even a Democrat.
As long as we allow MAGA to keep us on topics like this, we are LOSING. Whenever they bring up this guy, or trans, or Biden, or whatever their wedge issue Boogeyman of the day is, we need to ignore it, dismiss it, bat it away without a single comment about it, and steer the conversation to one of these topics:
Affordability (the big one, it got Trump elected, and it will get Dems elected even more)
Epstein Files: Full disclosure. Trump and his friends are in them
Data Centers: They will destroy everything, and we’ll pay for it.
AI: The future is either a permanent 50%+ unemployment rate, or they murder all of humanity.
Flock Cameras: You will now get daily fines in your mailbox whenever you go 3 mph over the speed limit, and they will track you down and arrest you if you have overdue library books.
ICE: They will kill us, they are already doing it.
Taxing Sociopathic Oligarchs and their Corporations: They will pay their fair share of taxes, including on hidden wealth. If they won’t disclose it, it will be heavily estimated.
Health Care: What health care?
Student Loan Reform: Sure, just saddle your most productive young citizens with a lifetime of debt as soon as the graduate from college. That won’t ever affect the entire economy in a few years, when they can’t afford ANYTHING.
MAGA Corruption: Were just going to let this continue like it’s somehow legal?
The AmerIsraeliWar®: The Draft is coming. The front line of a war is a great place to siphon your dissidents.
Mass Surveillance: If you aren’t doing anything illegal, then what are you worried about? What’s illegal? EVERYTHING!
Investigations, Impeachments, Prosecutions of MAGA crime: A president, a Secretary of Defense, a White House Advisor, a bunch of Homeland security turds, a few SCOTUS justices, some congressmen and senators, etc.
These are the real issues, and we need to take control of every discussion, steer them to these issues, and make them defend their record, and their plans for America’s future.
Same here. I know I’ve heard the name before, but probably only in the context of Republicans freaking out about him. I didn’t know who he is, or why they don’t like him
“Not only is he an evil socialist leftist, but he’s also in great physical shape and rather attractive.”
Weird flex, but ok.
I’m guessing that’s why they are so hard on AOC. She is a woman, minority, smart and attractive. They are most upset about being attracted to her.
She’s so hot, and she’ll never fuck a troll like me, no matter how rich I am, so she needs to DIE!
The reaction of the average MAGA.
hasan? the guy who abused his dog with a shock collar?
democrats are going to be very upset when they find out he’s just as shitty as republicans.
Yes, the guy who isn’t a perfectly perfect saint, who has never done anything remotely wrong in his entire life.
Republicans are the worst kind of pervert: They not just lie about their attractions, they abuse the people that interest them.
Dude should be selling GOP yard signs, bumper stickers, and flags with that image on it immediately with all of the proceeds going to the Talarico campaign and some charity the GOP hates. Would probably make a fortune and be a hilarious thing to say the GOP is backdoor funding everything they hate.
They always pick a target. It’s never policy.
Stupid sexy communists
The GOP has Hasan derangement syndrome…
In fairness, that’s basically everyone in political journalism right now.
They have actual TDS.
Damn I didn’t even know hasan was this built
his fans seems to think he is hot? they more than likely saw his half nekkid pic at some point. he does have a large female following.
Hey it’s not our fault our most successful leftists are hot brown and mediterranean daddies, keep them coming.
I’m a hasanabi-head and I didn’t know he was this hot
He’s 6’5" and is an avid… well he’s not a bodybuilder and he’s not an athlete in the sense that he does -a- sport seriously, but he stays fit. It’s a grwat example of what anyone could achieve if you actually dedicated the time to it in parallel with spending 8+ hours a day at a deak playing games and watching internet videos, news and otherwise.
Ah yes I spend my other 16 hours a day to grow
the Republican “I swear we’re not secretly gay” convention.
Grindr’s down again.
Boo Yah That’ll show those puny libtards???
(said in a verbalism of confusion and aggravation in order to invoke the ill conceived discourse)
Jokes aside Hasan Piker is actually a immensely sexy dude.
I’d smash!
What does anyone care about a streamer?
It’s a distraction, like literally everything else. He represents a vocal fraction of functional leftists who are successfully infiltrating the DNC so everyone’s pissed because the people he promotes are generally more policy focused and actually grass roots politicians who appear, for the time being, to actually be dedicated to some kind of reform and actually have the momentum to achieve it in a reasonable timeframe.
So nowthe GOP is pissed because they aren’t the only populists, the DNC is pissed because they might actually have to put in effort to get any electoral power, and the leftists are pissed because literally nothing can make them happy, and at the cemter of it all is a succeasful, rich, 6’5" himbo who streams 8 hours a day and has consistent messaging that might actually end up meaning something long term. Real easy target.
covering for trumps mishaps most likely.
I’d only alter this saying “the GOP’s” mishaps because never forget that they facilitated this absolute clownshow shitatorship.
The Democrats are literally willing to tank races in order to avoid progressive candidates winning. I think they are at least a little culpable in getting Trump elected both times, but especially the second time.
I’m not doing a “both sides”–I’m just trying to hold the Democrats accountable for shit politicking and strategy.
I’ve only ever heard of this guy because of people trying to backlash him.
I discovered him when they tried to pretend he was zapping his dog on stream. It was an interesting sequence because apparently they targeted people engaged enough to believe a wall of text on Reddit or a video compilation on YouTube, but not engaged enough to actually watch his channel to check anything.
Obviously they found a large audience, but hey Hasan gained a follower I guess.
That’s how their entire canceled culture works.
The book bans are just lists of books that none of them have read too.
This is the type of shit that makes the left looks ridiculous. He does zap his dog. He has literally shown the collar on cam (days after) but showing it has tape over it. He has literally been caught lying multiple times. You can see him, multiple times, reach for something off screen and his dog suddenly going back into place. There is a video of it happening and his dog suddenly yelping, which is what started this. “Her claw got caught”: 1. Do you wish to buy a bridge? 2. He still barely gave a fuck, which is condemnable regardless. He also used to complain about his dog moving around before the “incident”, instead of just laying in one spot.
Just because someone is a leftist it does not mean you should cover for them. That is cult like behaviour. Fuck Hasan, fuck animal abusers, and fuck people covering for animal abusers just because they are aligned politically.
Edit: There’s also this older moment:
Hey it’s cool man, i sure expected to see one of you people in the replies.
🙄 Go on, tell us who “you people” are then.
There’s a Blazing Saddles quote that immediately springs to mind.
people engaged enough to believe a wall of text on Reddit or a video compilation on YouTube, but not engaged enough to actually watch his channel to check anything
My
brothercultist in Christ, all the clips I mentioned were available on his channel as were the vods. Maybe they’ve been removed by now, but that is where I saw them. I literally used to be a Hasan viewer. You are in a cult.The whole thing is predicated upon him training her to sit still for hours on end on stream “like a prop”, which she barely ever does. Litterally you just have to watch the VODs , you’d be lucky to find more than 10 minutes of her on-screen on most streams. The whole scenario is pure brainrot and only believable if you don’t look critically at the evidence. So this guy used a shock collar to train a large dog to sit still for hours on end but there was only one (1) transgression ever recorded and she never sits still anyway. How do you square that up ?
You’re grasping at a few seconds of video (out of the 6+ hours he produces daily year in year out), edited out of context by people with a very specific agenda, and walls of concern-trolling prose that tugs at your emotional strings for some reason. It’s trivially easy to make up that kind of story and astro-turf it to death, with hundreds of inactive accounts coincidentally posting their first comment in the same week, which happens to be a copy-pasted list of pre-digested arguments and fact-free appeals to outrage. You’re getting QAnon’d in the worst way.
Same. His name came out of nowhere for me, but I also live under a rock
it started with him shocking his dog.
He didn’t do that
Yes, he did. It’s blatantly obvious. Stop covering for an animal abuser just because you’re aligned politically.
There’s also this older moment:
Except he didn’t, the idea that he did has already been thoroughly debunked.

You don’t have to be it with me, but be intellectually honest with yourself for just a minute. Pretend we are talking about a right wing influencer.
You can see him, multiple times, reach for something off screen and his dog suddenly going back into place. There is a video of it happening and his dog suddenly yelping, which is what started this. He has literally shown the collar on cam (days after) but with tape over it. He has literally been caught lying multiple times.
Would you still defend the guy? Be honest with yourself.
Even if you don’t want to believe he uses a shock collar, his treatment of her is still deplorable. He keeps the dog as a prop on Stream for hours on end. When she moves out of bed he will throw a hissy fit. He has even complained about her roaming around “like a cow”. He only started letting her be more free after the controversy started. His guests have even mentioned her collar being too tight in the past.
Stop defending this dude.
Edit: I’ll also add this (older) video of him with his dog Fish:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FT8ucadGCVc
That is something he did blatantly on camera.
