There are better mouthpieces for leftist ideology, who deserve a chance way way more than Hasan.

Like who?

What, like you can't think of any to suggest? I'm not playing this game with you. Maybe we stop idolizing rockstar personalities and start being politically competent for ourselves. Crazy idea I know.

I wasn't the one to claim there are better mouthpieces for leftist ideology that "deserve" a chance more than Hasan.

The only reason Piker is getting the attention he is right now is because he's been consistent in his views and he's been consistent about them for a long fucking time, way before Oct 7th. People are listening and that is scaring establishment Dems and Republicans alike. He's earned the trust of his viewers and they are working for these candidates - they're calling, they're door knocking, they're getting out there and getting the messaging out.

Who else is doing that in your opinion?
