Who’s Afraid of Hasan Piker? He’s hot. He’s “dangerous.” Young men actually listen to him. Is he what Democrats are looking for?

Translation: he’s anti Semitic, wants to flood the country with illegals, wants to surgically and chemically mutilate mentally ill people and commit infanticide.

IOW more of the same except he has some testosterone so Slate is creaming over his “rippling muscles”

[MinorityRepublican]

Never heard of that guy.

He's no Harry Sisson.

[teeman8r]

he can have a podcast, but not many will listen for long.

[Kid Shelleen]

Would that make him a younger, dumber Turk?

I’d say cucks.

Remember when the whole MSM was saying Michael Avenatti was going to be the big anti-Trump savior of the Democrats?

I like to point out to my woke idiot relatives and co-workers that Trump, Gabbard, RFK and Musk were all Democrats. Now Democrats are expected to mindlessly hate them.

Also, I remind them that here in NY State, just 10 years ago, another leftist saint, Andrew Cuomo, gifted Elon Musk with a state-funded $900 million Tesla factory. Crony-capitalism at its finest! Leftists nonetheless rejoiced that smart, central-planning would turn Western NY into a model of environmentalism and green-energy manufacturing.

10 years on, the Left have turned Cuomo into an anti-woman sex-pest, and Musk into a Nazi.

As Orwell pointed out, American leftists always need to be ready to believe that 2+2=5

Think it would be Piker-Hogg give the likely sexual orientation of both sides. Their slogan can be “Squeal like a pig America”

Piker is just another commie traitor.

[BradyLS]

For nearly a decade now, Piker, who streams under the name HasanAbi, has been one of the most famous political commentators in America. If you’re a certain type of mainstream liberal—or a not-very-online moderate or conservative, for that matter—you may not have heard of him.

So famous, no one’s heard of him. 🙄

[No name given]

It WOULD, that’s correct.

[MinorityRepublican]

I like to point out to my woke idiot relatives and co-workers that Trump, Gabbard, RFK and Musk were all Democrats. Now Democrats are expected to mindlessly hate them.

Interesting thing to note is that Trump is a populist, Musk is a libertarian, Gabbard and RFK Jr are disgruntled Democrats.

[Flaming Conservative]

Sounds like a colossal waste of time.

[Lizavetta]

Really? I consider myself politically aware and active and I have never heard of him.

Ditto.

Double ditto.

[dforest]

Vance vs the little piker.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Me, either.

And, after reading that article, I know I’ll never, ever listen to him or run across him. There isn’t much online that sounds less appetizing that when I just read about him.

Obama came out of nowhere.

A lot of people laughed at Jon Ossoff. He became a Georgia Senator.

Democrats are so desperate...

If you have never heard of Twitch you will not know this guy.

Twitch is Amazon owned streaming service. People stream themselves doing things or saying things. The audience pays them directly for the entertainment, with Twitch/Amazon taking a cut.

It’s mostly a product of Covid stay at home.

He has high viewcount for each stream. 35,000+ on dreary days and much higher for big events. Podcasts are considered bigger money, but Twitch is not small.
