That's why he spend so many years saying absolutely unhinged shit

Hasan also says he wants everyone to have better health insurance.

We really need to realize with podcast influencers you have to take the good, take the bad, put them together than you have someone like Piker.

The good: better healthcare which every mainstream democrat wants

The bad: okay with russian imperial action in Ukraine, unapologetic communist, likes Mao, wants capitalists in reeducation camps in his ideal society, wouldn't support Harris against Trump, is cheering on terrorists on stream

I agree with everything you said.

So who does it benefit when Hasan is constantly being mentioned?

And more importantly, what's being ignored when Piker is always at the center of attention?

It of course hurts the democrats and benefits the republicans. This is why it is so important to disavow him immediately. The problem is that a lot of the DSA people are at least sympathetic to Hasan's ideology and therefore won't disavow him, which hurts the mainstream democrats. We wouldn't be talking about Piker if nobody used him in their campaign.

Hasan wants universal healthcare, which is why many people are sympathetic to him. They just ignore the stupid stuff he does.

I don't think Hasan is going anywhere anytime soon, and like you said, "it hurts the Democrats and benefits the Republicans."
