ABWD where you at?

This is a bunch of assholes looking at us and saying, “well who else you going to pick , the Nazis‽…”

Yeah I mean. Thats literally what they said in 2024. And BlueHogs ate it right up.

Best I can do is sheepdogging and pre-blaming you for the failures of the corporate establishement

Dems are setting themselves up to be routed in 2028. Mark it.

The MAGA influencer squad are already running an interception campaign between the movement and Trump. They’ll get the first 30% of early movers, and the hogs, well, all they do is follow. It’s already happening and has been happening for years. Now it’s coming to a boil.

This cohort holds most of their audience, and is setting up a clear chain of rhetoric they’ll be able to use to back up their claims that Trump was the problem all along. They’ll get to dismiss the baggage and keep the white supremacy, Christian nationalism, and authoritarianism.

The Democrats have had one, and only one lane to victory. And as a party they’ve fully ceded to the fact that they are a pro-war, pro-genocide, pro corporate money, pro Israel party. There are individuals who break the mold, but they are few and the party works to sabotage them, while media questions if they should be in the party at all. Then you’ve got the same hogs on the dem side, eating up all the same slop and vomiting it back, doing the on the ground work of preventing the party from embracing it’s identity as a left wing party.

The Dems are cooked right now, and it’s because as a party they conditioned their voters to accept little and less under the mantra of ABWD and strategic voting. The strategy resulted in a party less popular than Donald Trump, who is probably the least popular president of all time.

They’re going to be outflanked by this cohort of MAGAz who are successfully intercepting Trump’s movement from the larger RNC.

What the fuck?

Or they could just run it like they did pre 2003 when CBP was invented?

Art of the deal?

I’ll take it.

Republican and Democratic hawks:

Al Jazeera has Israel reporters saying this caught Israel off guard. Officials saying it caught them completely surprised

you could…

Because Congress isn’t already neutered enough…

Bruh save that shit for Byron Noem.

Should probably post advocacy links elsewhere.

Ring of Fire is still going isn’t it?

All they talk about is eachother lol

Its insufferable. There is no thing I could possibly care less about than the navel gazing drama internal to a particular social media platform.

Just like the preferred establishment candidates, they want an empty vessel with no political ideology they can fill with money and operate like a puppet to sheepdog for their own purposes.

Oh that will be fun. Thanks .

He’s certainly a character. I find him somewhat insufferable, at least in mannerisms, but it’s probably because I’m older. Chewing into the microphone, eating on camera, China glazing, arguing with chat. But clearly as media and taste’s have changed, enough people like Hasan enough to build him up as the bugfest leftwing content creator.

But if you want to know where things are going and what people believe, how they get to those beliefs, you gotta at least recognize them as a political agent. And I do like their focus on media analysis (similar to Majority Report in this regard). They aren’t covering the news if the day, they are covering how the news if the day is presented. Same as watching Meidas Touch to get an idea for what that audience is thinking, or Jim Acosta for understanding that crowd, or Don Lemon or Sabby Sabs, or TYT or dropsite or zeteo and on and on. If you want to know what audiences are being exposed to you gotta go to where that exposure is happening and watch and listen.

And in that landscape, well, Hasan is kinda a gorilla. Just, no left of center anyone is putting up numbers like Hasan does; not even by 10x. Outside of billionaire funded astroturfed RW channels, no one else has the numbers.

Like it’s not about if I like Hasan or not, like, if they are to my taste. It’s about whose got the numbers then trying to understand why. And Hasan speaks to a pretty unrepresented coalition of people who are far from rightwing, and also, far from naively supportive of Democrats. And I think it’s because they are willing to be say the quiet parts out loud, like “US deserved 9/11”.

I have no idea who those other streamers are

I think this is a good take from the Sam Seder crew regarding how new media operates:

Because of media fragmentation, two things. First, the vast majority of people do not know who Hasan Piker is. It’s a big fragmented media landscape, so most people don’t know who “everyone” else is in the media landscape. If you listen to Meidas Touch or Don Lemon, you probably have no clue who Hassan is.

Second… People get whatever content they are going to get from whichever podcasts or news programs they like, and in general, they like the personality of the people they’ve developed trust in to give them the news or media analysis. People who know who Hassan is, they like him.

It’s a form of positive selection bias. People like who they know and they know who they are because they like them. It’s why they’ve come to know them.

The Hassan derangement syndrome thing is real and it brings no one to the table. It only serves to appease a small group of donors and only hurts the Democrats.
