I admit that I'd never heard of him until a few weeks ago when he pooped up in Cuba, but that's because I don't spend any time on leftist websites and television shows; he's real

Hasan Piker Is Becoming a Litmus Test for the Left

Hasan Piker is now a key part of the Democratic Party conversation, and many Democrats are flocking to him. You should consider reading and watching these videos anyway. Democratic Party candidates and influencers are embracing him, to the horror of many people, including some Democrats. Article follows:

The Democrats are having a massive debate about whether Hasan Piker is an ally they should embrace. Piker, who is an avowed Marxist who believes that America deserved 9/11, that Hamas is "1000 times better than Israel," that it was unfortunate that America won the Cold War, that China is the closest to an ideal society we have, and that capitalist blood should be running through the streets, has become the hot new thing among progressives. 

Strom’s article includes quite few videos of Piker, and I’ll leave it up to you to follow the link and watch them if you care to; I didn’t. But here’s one, ti give you a (dis) taste:

The New York Times has not only profiled him; it gave him space on its pages to serve as an analyst. He is showing up on CNN and other networks, and progressives are flocking to his podcast or even campaigning with him as a surrogate.

It tells you a lot that his audience, which should be niche, is seen as a key voting bloc for Democrats these days. He is a featured speaker alongside old Obama hands at Democrat events, and was a rock star at the DNC convention.

You have Democrats like John Fetterman and Rahm Emmanuel who are appalled at what their party is becoming and doing their best to bring it back from the edge, but they are putting their fingers into a crumbling dike to hold back the waters.

There is actually little that is ideological in this movement, as cozy as it is with communism. What holds people like Tim Miller and Hasan Piker is pure rage. The commitment to destroy an America they see as having betrayed them. Miller was the Communications Director for Jeb Bush, and Hasan Piker is a literal communist revolutionary who allies with Hamas and is supporting Iran in the current war.

Both parties have some house cleaning to do. Tucker, Candace, and Megyn Kelly have gone off the rails and have been bleeding mainstream Republican support while picking up the Nick Fuentes crowd, who was never part of the coalition. 

Democrats, though, are falling all over themselves to embrace Piker, seeing his audience as the next big thing. 

TDS is a powerful drug. 

Here’s one more video I’ll include, just because it shows that least a few liberals are resisting, and it’s John Fetterman, who i’ve come to admire despite his generally-liberal views; the Daniel Patrick Moynihan of the 21st Century.
