They won't have an answer. Its the same dnc/aipac talking points. It's either use lies or attack someone's lack of perfection.
It's not a lack of perfection I'm concerned about, but rather a presence of disqualifying behaviors. There's a big difference between a flawed person, and a person whose flaws make them specifically unfit for the social role they're seeking to occupy.
I think your point is only valid if you're underlying criticism is valid. I don't think that you can support your underlying criticism of piker because the general examples that you gave have not been apparent to me when I've watched his content. But if you want to provide some sources and examples, I will reevaluate my assessment.
Tbh I'd have to either pore over hundreds of hours of content or go find a secondhand source highlighting his problematic moments. I'm not going to do that when I can reasonably assume we've seen mutually overlapping content sufficient for me to conclude that you have seen more than one example and did not find it problematic enough to note.
Nice try at wasting my time, though.
Then your points truly are worthless.
I don't like that you and Velma fight. I hope you're able to be friends.
And I hope Hasan Piker doesn't wind up betraying his espoused values the minute he obtains actual political power. Humanity is still too intent being dominated by Big People, and they're gonna keep falling for it over and over until we grow beyond it. I don't hate Velma, but she spouts some really boneheaded non-arguments instead of actually trying to figure out what the hell I'm saying, and that's kinda disappointing sometimes.
That's the risk of it all right? In order to win somebody has to organize but abusers are super good at infiltration organizing efforts and putting themselves in the center
I hope he doesn't too. I kind of always thought he was an attention seeking punk, but this year he's actually helping change some things and super cynical people I respect are giving him a chance.
That's good though. I find her very intelligent and you very funny. It seems like in any other situation you guys would vibe most excellently.
