Been meaning to make a masterpost about this for a little while:
Hasan has been in hot water for the past two or so weeks because he stated that he would vote third party if Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, won the Democratic nomination in 2028.
This is because Hasan views Gavin Newsom not as too far left (as most of the population would), but too
"far right". Hasan's immediate counter to this was to call the person who posted the clip a pedophile.
(Token Destiny mention as well, of course)
Hasan and every online tankie's foundational myth is that the Democratic Party is ACKSHUALLY "center right" while the Republicans are far-right, and Bernie Sanders is the center.
Hasan Piker literally watched Kamala Harris rattle off shit that Bernie Sanders has been "fighting for" for years, and scoffed at that because of muh palestine,
He's permanently stuck in 2015, Bernie's platform became the Democratic platform from 2016 onwards.
Now he's rewritten it in his head that actually she was running on a "2000s Republican" platform and lost for being too far right.
Despite the reality being that people thought Kamala was to the left of Zohran Mamdani:
Democrats (people on the Left) called out Hasan's bullshit (lol @ the spite retweet from Hasan):
One of the most paradoxical things about Hasan is the fact that he thrives off of controversy and hatred, yet is extremely sensitive whenever he gets any meaningful blowback for any of his stupid fucking statements. He's had a two week long crashout over this, making podcast appearances and writing long screeds about how the heckin evil DNC establishment is trying to keep him down and suppress the TRUE Leftist movement:
"Bend the knee to the left"
Hasan basically gave the game away from the start. It's not actually about policy or electability, it's about trying to force his beliefs on the wider populace.
and he immediately tried to pivot towards two things:
1) Using Newsom taking a non-stance on the involvement of transgender teenagers in girl's sports as a way to paint him as "right wing":
Which led to this truly delusional clip where Hasan says that Democrats would "shoot transgender people in the head" to win an election, despite spending the last 15 years being punished for supporting troons each time they were in power.
Meanwhile in reality:
People pointed out how retarded this statement was, and he pulled a classic Hasan trick: pretending he was being hyperbolic and didn't really mean what he said:
This never happened by the way.
and 2) Using Newsom doing a homeless tent camp cleanup photo-op as a way to paint him as "right wing":
Hasan tried to warp the original conversation from him failing to answer the question of: "If Gavin Newsom is the nominee in 2028, will you vote for him?" into "You must swear fealty to Gavin Newsom two years before the primary."
And his fans gobbled up that narrative and started repeating it as soon as he gave the marching orders.
His fans then tried to flip it back on normie Dems by going "Would you vote for AOC?" thinking it was an epic own, only to be shut up when people said "YES, VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO MEANS VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO"
Hasan and the Online Left don't see Republicans as their true enemies, they see normie center-left liberals as their final obstacle before they can foment their socialist revolution. Incremental change within the system is lame and gay, all we need to do is elect radicals and all our problems are solved!
He's especially angry at trannies and black people, two of the most reliable Democratic voting blocs:
Despite Hasan himself constantly waving the cudgel of identity politics when it comes to shit like Gaza, and even in this case, transgender rights, he's mad whenever anyone invokes their identities against them.
He even tried to use the precious five minutes he had to interview Bernie Sanders, the Online Left's founding father, to try and get Bernie to shittalk Newsom and further drive a wedge in the left, so he can manufacture consent for yet another Protest Vote/#Uncommitted movement two years in advance:
However, unlike Hasan, Bernie is a grown fucking adult who understands how political power works and understands that perpetually burning bridges gets absolutely fucking nothing done, so he reaffirmed his support for Newsom despite his disagreements with him.
This has been genuinely taking a toll on Hasan:
"Dealing with this website everyday" as if it's some kind of arduous labor to log into Twitter and see people calling your takes dumb.
One of Hasan's biggest coping mechanisms is blaming any negative attention he gets on Destiny.
He even lashed out at a member of Vanoss Gaming.
Hasan was in such desperate need for good PR that he signed up for a "debate" with Adam Mockler (of Jubilee fame), who gave Hasan far more breathing room and benefit of the doubt than he deserved.
Hasan got beaten so fucking badly even his fans weren't able to defend it.
Hasan constantly capitulated to Mockler. One of his biggest weakenesses is how he'll talk tough on Twitter but immediately fold like a fucking wet napkin when he actually has to elaborate in any form outside of a 280 character dunk.
>"Socialist Debate Pedophile"
I know this is supposed to be a jab at Destiny but this would make for a pretty funny thread title considering what he got up to at that Bavarian brothel. Every response this guy has to criticism inevitably loops around to PEDOPHILEPEDOPHILEPEDOPHILE.
During that debate, Hasan stated that he would vote for Jon Ossoff of Georgia if he were the nominee in 2028. (And Jon Stewart from the fucking Daily Show for some reason??)
Of course, people point out that Jon Ossoff is to the right of both Kamala Harris and Gavin Newsom, someone that Hasan already thinks is far right. He's a senator from a purple state, of course he's to the right and further center of two fucking Californians on things ranging from gun rights to immigration to healthcare.
His fans picked up on this and are calling him a Democratic party cuck for capitulating to Mockler that he's willing to contribute to the system him and his fans say they want to destroy so badly.
This post is ironic considering the fact that Gavin Newsom has never taken AIPAC money (they don't get involved in Gubernatorial races) and Adam Mockler, the guy who was supposedly defending the Democratic "status quo" against Hasan, got him on record saying that he'd never accept money from AIPAC (or Big Oil or any of the other PACs that leftists totally care about. Remember when the far left used to pretend to care about green energy and climate change?).
This reaction is pretty funny considering that Hasan Piker and Medhi Hasan whined about Abigail Spanberger (someone who's also to Ossoff's left) giving the Dem response to the SOTU.
It's all aesthetics at the end of the day to these people. Ossoff is young, white, male and attractive, therefore he's probably on our side and wants to destroy muh establishment as much as we do! Newsom is old(er) (and actually has a chance of winning), therefore he must be a part of muh establishment and must be stopped.
What's even more fucking weird is that Hasan retweeted a post from Gavin Newsom after all of this agonization:
He has spent the last nearly three weeks talking about how fucking evil Gavin Newsom is and how the TRUE LEFT needs to fight to keep him out of office, yet when he'll boost their words whenever he sees an opportunity to dunk on another internet personality he doesn't like.
Hasan does more hard work on behalf of right wingers than even Nick Fuentes pretends to do
It's pretty simple, Hasan and his friends lose money whenever a Democrat is in office, since the left has nothing to be upset about. Whenever a Republican is in office, there's a 24/7 outrage loop to generate infinite profit out of, that's why Hasan is so desperate to keep the Democrats out of power for as long as possible.
Must like Nick Fuentes for the right, Hasan only exists only to depress turnout on the left.
