    It’s more like he’s the figurehead that all the tankies will defend no matter what. Kinda like MAGA with Trump expect Hasan isn’t a politician. MAGA and moderate Republicans (if there are any left at this point) wants to make it look like the entire left is Hasan Piker, and thus moderates disavowed him before they are harassed with all the indefensible things he has said and done over the years like some DSA candidates are dealing with now for biting this bullet

      Most communists are pretty critical of Hasan for being a reformist, rather than a revolutionary. Further, Hasan’s views generally align very closely with the DSA’s views, though the DSA isn’t democratic centralist so there is quite a lot of regional variety on the party line.

      I see the centrist wing has found its most recent Jeremiah Wright.

      Remember in 2024 when the mere suggestion that centrists’ beloved-above-all-else genocide wasn’t the best thing ever was helping trump?

      Funny how the genocide wing’s constant demonization of everyone to their left somehow isn’t helping trump.

      I guess it only counts if you actually disagree with trump, and no centrist ever will.

      The same people who pretend to oppose republicans and blame others for democratic failure that attack Hassan and want the progresists to lose and causing republicans to win
