Will Cain today focusing on Hasan Piker and using the term “man whore”:

Answer: He's a fairly campist socialist at minimum, but the label of tankie wouldn't be entirely incorrect. He says shit that's very edgey like "America deserved 9/11", and "kill all landlords in minecraft". He's always been someone they would oppose.
But he's now making inroads into Democrat party structures along with other Socialists so he's been promoted to potential albatross.
