Why isn't he the best foot? Because of the right-wing propaganda? Then who? Whoever you choose, and before you name them, are you aware that, if that person ever becomes the center of the spotlight, they too will be smeared endlessly like Hasan currently is, right? You will NEVER find someone perfect, and if you do, they will lie about them. And then there will be people talking exactly like you are about Hasan right now, but about your favorite guy.
So, what's your point here? Your goal? To weaken us, to distract? Or are you genuine? Because all you are doing is keeping the loop alive with this attitude. I've seen it since always. You will never have "someone who is the right foot to spread the message", never. It's all of us, including you. We all have to do our part, do not be as lazy as a religious person, who lazily neglects the pain of the innocent by simply "praying for them" in the comfort of their bedroom with the air conditioner on. You better learn how to embrace human flaws and turn them into something constructive, or keep wasting our time. It's up to you.
It was thanks to Hasan that I, a random Mexican, still has hope for the "good" half of the USA. If it wasn't for him, I'd be killing Americans right now by funding the production of fentanyl. All I have to do is buy my weed from a certain cartel and convince my friends to do the same, but I didn't do it, because of him. It was him the only political influencer online that proved me Americans still got a chance and deserve to be saved. MAGAs are everywhere, including my country. Right-wing and fascism is not exclusive there.
We are all victims of our governments which sadistic crybullies and psychopaths from the Jeffrey Epstein class, who feel dopamine and serotonin when they kill/abuse/exploit/rape/control someone innocent or cause harm to others, have taken ahold of with ease because we are not like them, we don't kill for power. That's it. We just need the courage to remove them by force, put them in jail.
Do not make it easier for them, by keeping us "searching for Hercules" or whatever. Hasan is one of the greatest people in the frontline progressives and humanists have right now, and to deny that is to admit you're malleable and easy to corrupt and manipulate. I've done my homework of learning your language to communicate what we are going through, here in Mexico, the Iron River, we need to destroy it asap, but Americans won't let us. I have spent years watching multiple content creators, articles and news channels from the USA to listen to all the positions, and I am heavily disgusted by MAGA, and disappointed at the rest. Hasan has been the only one that shows the most humanist values, which are the ones I care the most about, idgaf about patriotism or nationalism, that shit is for the neanderthals, I care about the potential of humanity that has been taken away by the most greedy in the world. Your loyalty should not belong to your country or a religion or a political party, it should belong to humanity; hell and heaven are what we make of this planet to be, so, stop wasting our time with this pointless search, because we need action now, we are losing over 30,000+ innocent people every year to gun violence; guns we didn't even make.
The right wing is the target audience! That's the whole point. You can't even get to the sales pitch if you can't get your foot in their door.
Try posting this in a right wing sub and see what happens, and why. See if you can even get them to the message.
My goal this year is to vote in the midterms and to try and get at least two people I know to change their votes. I can't mention this guy because I'll just get shut down and nothing is gained.
We don't need PERFECT but we do need a guy who hasn't been accused with zapping his dog with no way for me to refute it, I can't sell that to my two people before the midterms I'll just get a door slammed on the sales pitch. He really needs to make this go away any way he can.
MAGA are not conscious beings. They’re not anyone’s target. Undecided/apathetic voters are, and you’re again assuming true some bullshit smear campaign, something that will arise for any figure that makes positive statements. Just like Hillary ran a rape pizzeria, just like Abdul protected criminal immigrants.
The right wing are never the target audience. They will never see reason. If they are truly centrist then they will vote for their interests. But in order to do that they have to be informed. In order to be informed, there has to be someone to inform them. Whoever that is is going to be attacked by the establishment who doesn't want an informed populace. The only people that won't be attacked are the people that want the status quo maintained and corporate interests protected.
I consider the right wing in this context anyone who could vote right. I have a hard time labeling someone who is scratching their head over the options today "centrist" or "independent"
