“look the guy who spends all day every day saying things said a cringe thing once! stop listening to him about israel and billionaires!”
there’s a huge hasan smear campaign by corpo “democrats” right now, because obviously he’s the real danger for some reason and not the cheeto rapist in power.
when people are calling democrats controlled opposition, this is what they mean.
remember hasan’s dog? don’t think about the entrenched democrats actively enabling the fascist takeover. don’t think about their support for funding israel’s genocide of gaza. what if his dog possibly potentially had a shock collar because the way it moved once! keep hasan on the defensive so he isn’t talking about israel or billionaires!
etc.
i definitely am not the biggest hasan fan, but i find myself defending him regularly from absolute bullshit.
if there’s was ever a time to be picky about hasan’s choice of emotionally biased statements on non-issues, this is really not it.
I don’t love or hate him, but I keep up with what he has to say because he is undeniably the largest online voice representing the younger left-leaning voter base.
I can’t agree with many of his more agitating statements, but I’d rather have him reaching young people who feel disenfranchised by politics than the next manosphere crypto gambling tycoon. He’s more of a step in the right direction than liberal influencers.
Stuff like this is why leftists have a (mainstream) reputation of infighting and semantic policing instead of actual praxis.
Also, sometimes a shock collar is actually necessary. Not all animals respond to positive reinforcement.
While I’ve never used the shock feature on one (we just have it for the vibration setting for our deaf dog to get her attention), the people I know who have tried literally everything else first, and it only took one or two low level zaps to correct the behavior.

He said democrats have to earn your vote, so the harm reduction argument isn’t valid. The democrats didn’t earn my vote so I didn’t vote. Now Trump killed 2 people, started a war, cut all solar programs, ruined our trade negotiations, destroyed the fda, destroyed usaid, destroyed the department of education, pulled out of the climate accord, destroyed research for being “woke,” but I mean hey the democrats didn’t earn my vote so I was fully justified not voting I think.
I agree with everything you’re saying buuuuuuuuuuut also
the dude lives in a mansion in LA (which his excuse for was that he has a large family, someone better tell all the large families in my single-family suburban neighborhood that they should upsize ASAP) and plays down the importance of mutual aid. He’s a grifter and the left should be demanding better.

Yeah this is ridiculous criticism. If he was poor and arguing for socialism he would be called jealous. Now he’s rich and arguing for socialism and your criticism is…what exactly? That he takes care of his family? Seems like ad hominem attacks to avoid having to engage with what he’s saying.
Taking care of my family by having a multi million dollar mansion fancy clothes a sports car and a Rolex, amen brother. I don’t expect someone to live like a pauper but wtf give 2 million to red cross and you’ve literally saved like 1000 peoples lives.

If there’s nothing wrong with it then he should stand on business and admit it rather than lie about it.
Well, I kind of mean it as a joke, since they are not even opposition. You have to oppose to be opposition.

Same - I feel like I’m going insane reading all this obvious bullshit. It’s good to know there’s other sane people in this shitpost thread.

Not by me.
That he’s rich. And a grifter, which I already said.
