    Wasn’t it Sun Tsu who said not to interrupt your opponent when they are making a mistake? That’s why I don’t complain when Drumpf runs around the country stumping for the toadies in his own party. The orange ass-clown really believes his own hype that he’s popular.

    Trump talks about Hasan, because Trump wants Hasan’s name to be in people’s heads; because Hasan is controlled opposition.

    I don’t care what Trump thinks and know nothing about Hasan, nor do I care beyond understanding why the conservatives want his dick so bad

    No idea who the fuck he is, but if this orange loser is spamming him. He must be an ok dude in my book.

      He’s a twitch streamer that strongly supports the DSA, so he’s a Social Democrat. He has a few million viewers and has been helping DSA candidates this midterm cycle, so he became a big target of the media. He’s okay, the biggest benefit IMO is that he doesn’t do the typical socdem thing by endlessly condemning socialist countries and trying to separate himself from them, which is why he gets labeled a communist despite being a SocDem.

        He labeled himself a socialist. He also talks out of both mouths, he calls himself anti Zionist but it’s currently bragging about his positive interviews Israeli media where he said he wants to build bridges with Zionists.

        He’s a net positive in grabbing people from the far right and pushing them left. He’s a net negative when it comes to liberal Zionism and normalizing the colonization of Palestine.

        If you’re a centrist or right leaning, by all means watch him. If you’re already a leftist, you can avoid the brainrot.

    Trump is raging at people who aren’t even running for office because that’s how incompetent he is. If you want to watch some streamer because you like their show then go for it. But they aren’t the ones who are going to change the law. So whenever anyone brings up streamers instead of candidates, you know they’re either incompetent or afraid or both.

    Again, they’re horny for Hasan Piker. It’s the only thing that explains their irrational obsession. Most of the left doesn’t even consume his content.

      That’s kind of a mixed compliment. I’m pretty sure Piker hasn’t raped and killed any men, women, or children.

        Yes that was the implication. That’s why I said infinitely more mathematically. Even one is infinitely more than zero. And for Trump it’s easily in the hundreds if not thousands

          If we’re talking just deaths, with his closure of USAID, reductions in health insurance, cuts to CDC, his covid response, etc. Trump has been the cause of millions of avoidable deaths.

          Lancet estimates that Trump’s USAID closure alone will kill ~5 million children under the age of five by 2030.

            To be fair, USAID is also partially responsible for killing millions. It’s a deliberate tool of soft-power that often gets funneled into the hands of pro-US dictators for military equipment, etc. The role of USAID is to make imperialism seem better.

            You say that like anyone on the fediverse is normal 😋. Dividing by zero always gives infinity. It may be mathematical and nerdy. But it’s also true and expositive. Though to be fair even Charles Manson was an amateur compared to Trump

            When dividing by zero as one would to compare the tolls. One is infinitely more than zero. So considering Trump is verifiably responsible for hundreds if not thousands already and potentially millions in the future. That Infinity is only getting larger by the moment.

            Ultimately it comes down to the fact that. Anyone that can excuse pedophilia, rape and murder. Is someone that nobody should give a fuck what they think or say.

    This shows how weak the Republican’s platform is. They aren’t attacking policy at all - it’s culture wars bull shit. All they can say is vague shit like communism without pointing to anything relevant in policy. Piker isn’t running. These are sloppy desperate fear tactics.

      They can’t attack policy, because they’ve had absolutely no obstruction to implementing policy for nearly two years now. The Republican party has gotten to do exactly as it pleases for nearly two years now, and almost universally Americans say they are worse off than they were before.
