All this caping for a damn Twitch streamer. A TWITCH STREAMER. It's bad enough they elevated an old White man from Vermont a decade ago, now they're doing it for a damn Twitch streamer who says and does shit "for the chat". The mind reels...

So now the leftists are coming for Jon Ossoff because of Hasan Piker. The Democratic Senator…from Georgia. Get these dumbasses out of the tent…PLEASE .

Hasan Piker is having a total meltdown on his live stream over Jon Ossoff. Despite claiming he uses his words "very carefully," his incoherent sentences are just impossible to follow, though it's clear from his blabbing that he isn't happy. Is this who I need to share a big tent with?

I've been trying to ignore him for months. He's being pushed into my feeds by those who want him mainstreamed. I've focused on electing Dems for 10 years. I did that on the BK Dem executive committee and now in NY-17, one of the country’s most competitive districts.

There’s this weird thing going on where people think elected Dems are attacking AES for his association with Piker when in reality Dems (including AES btw!) are distancing themselves from Piker

It just feels like the same shit we went through last year with Mamdani. A bunch of people want to be mad and have an excuse for a potential loss when in reality, the vast majority of Dems are behind him. Shadowboxing people in their own minds.

There are some people vaguely on the Dem side (Tom Nichols, that sort of thing) who are using Piker to dump on El-Sayed, but most criticism of Piker is not that.

online wants simultaneously to defend whatever this guy says AND say that he's irrelevant and why are people even talking about it. But also it's fine for Dems to campaign with him. Enough.

It’s honestly getting quite annoying, especially when they take the stance that no one cares about Piker so how dare Dems not support him, in the context of even AES distancing himself from Piker.
