Do you know who Hasan Piker is? If so what do you think of him?

[Still-alive]

There's been a bit of a democrat debate going on with progressives like Hasan here vs more centrist corporate dems like the Chuck Schumer types.

What do YOU think of Hasan Piker?

I have heard of him and like his content

I have heard of him but don't like his content

Isn't he that far left radical?

Isn't he that based progressive dude?

I have never heard of Hasan Piker. literally who?

I don't watch him, I have enough to do. I think he used to be on TYT. I've read that he's getting a lot of stick from Democratic party insiders for saying, essentially, "genocide is bad, therefore Israel is bad". Which, of course, gets him unreasonably labelled anti-Semitic.

"Q: “What are your thoughts on the Hasan Piker should or shouldn’t argument on Democrats engaging with him.”

A: “Trump is currently engaged in a disastrous, illegal war that costs hundreds of billions of dollars, has led to global chaos, and spiked gas prices above $4 a gallon. And Democrats have decided to have a fierce internal debate about a Twitch streamer.”

“It really could not be more on brand and shows that we have not learned the lessons of 2024.”"

"“For those blessed enough to have missed this internal Democratic beef, Hasan Piker is a wildly popular progressive streamer and a vehement critic of Israel. The leaders of Third Way recently wrote an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal arguing that Democrats should shun him:

“Mr. Piker is anti-American, antiwomen, anti-Western and antisemitic. No Democrat should engage with him. All should seek to push him to the fringe, where he belongs … Handing Mr. Piker a microphone isn’t magnanimous or respectful of views that test your priors. Going on his show isn’t a sign of bravery, of willingness to talk to the other side, or to show up in challenging places. All these things do is support a bigot.”"

I'm pretty fond of him.

I think US politics needs someone who champions some of the causes he does, and who has his perspective.

As a person, I don't like him. He comes off as a narcissist to me.
