We need a Discourse Cycle about how Democratic recruiters aren't seeking actual working class people, but the child of wealthy people who have reinvented themselves as working class people. We could use some discussion on why this is happening x.com/lxeagle17/stat…

Four points on Maine: 1) Mills is a very poor candidate. 2) Platner could beat Collins. 3) Platner is a very risky gamble. 4) Platner is doing best with upscale Dems, rather than non-college Dems — not what you'd expect from a "working-class whisperer" theargumentmag.com/p/is-graham-pl…

@BlueBob53 @wfdltd @nick_field90 Yes, it is. Being an oyster man with a trust fund is a very different experience than an oyster man living paycheck to paycheck.

@wfdltd @nick_field90 He used the GI Bill to go college. And his family's money isn't *his* money. Class. Is. Not. Hereditary.

@dazedrachel @nick_field90 "Gifted" a manual labor job is such a funny construction. As if it's an inheritance. And his Mom, a restaurant owner, being *one of* his customers in a small Maine town isn't an own.

Rahm Emanuel’s presidential odds are skyrocketing as Hasan Piker is being iced out. Great course correction for Democrats looking win back majorities in Congress and the White House.

@JNeyhartPA She's fixated on culture war issues and "working hard" as a shill for corporate interests. Hard pass.

Incredible to watch folks like Sirota try to smear a hard working state legislator like McMorrow just to support of a guy who has not doesn’t have a single meaningful political or policy accomplishment in his life.
David Sirota@davidsirota

Dem politicians like @MalloryMcMorrow think good politics is promising voters they’ll do popular donor-challenging things in the future they refuse to do right now with the power they currently have. It’s deep cynicism designed to fool low-info voters in the attention economy.

@admcrlsn Adam, what specifically has Hasan said that you take issue with?

Ok after some reflection and talking to people (including locals) that are smarter than me, points 3 and 4 seem way too cynical/galaxy brained. There are local factors at play, and it’s probably not some strategic 4D chess to triangulate a middle path to the nomination between El-Sayed and Stevens. I had completely forgotten that the West Bloomfield Temple Israel attack — where 140 preschoolers could have been blown up — was two weeks ago. And that for many for whom that is still raw — even in a mostly very progressive Jewish community like that — Piker’s presence nearby (both are within about an hour drive) would be raising the temperature, not lowering it. I think the difference in encouraging people to go on a guest on Rogan/Piker type streams — who have said controversial things in the past — and actively campaigning with them is an important distinction. Some may infer the latter as an endorsement of their views. Which, no matter what you think of Hasan, you have to admit that some of what he has said could be hurtful to some Jews at a time when many are already deeply concerned for the safety of them and their children. For those who think McMorrow is bought and paid for by AIPAC, I would like to remind them that they are expressly backing Stevens in this race, and that McMorrow has stressed that she has not and will not take money from AIPAC. Anyway, I’m willing to bet it’s not a strategic move, it’s a line in the sand for her. If you disagree with what she said, that’s fine. Your voice will be louder than those that appreciate what’s she’s doing because that’s what algorithms do — promote conflict. Important to remember that Twitter is not real life. I like Abdul, and totally get why people are voting for him. But let’s not jump to the worst conclusions about other candidates just because tensions are high.
Adam Carlson@admcrlsn

1) I think people in this online echo chamber majorly overestimate how much normal people/Michiganders know and care about Hasan Piker. 2) I’ve had major issues with some things he’s said, but IMO he’s not in the same realm as Nick Fuentes. 3) This pivot from McMorrow seems like a strategic bet that Stevens voters are more gettable than El-Sayed voters, and maybe that more undecideds are deciding between McMorrow and Stevens. And that she was never going to outflank Abdul on being progressive or on Israel-Gaza — essentially conceding the left lane and trying to chart a Goldilocks path to the nomination. 4) Whether intentional or not, I think this will make it more likely that AIPAC will turn their fire on El-Sayed alone, rather than both McMorrow and El-Sayed (which seemed to be their plan before).

The only thing Hasan Piker has done with his platform is use the same racist and misogynistic red pill content and sprinkle it with cosplay communism while he actively benefits from capitalism. Democrats need to completely disassociate from this grift.

@umichvoter @CrotserJeremiah No, he hasn't. If he had, he wouldn't have been invited to livestream the DNC in '24. McMorrow's just signaling to keep herself eligble for pro-Isrsel $$$$.

@ronnieboadu @grahamformaine Get a grip, sir. That a candidate prioritizes material benefits for all vs. the utterly shallow (and purely rhetorical) identitarianism you prefer isn't an attack on your existence.

@grahamformaine This Frankenstein campaign of toxic white masculinity hitting hard with a white electorate isn’t the serve your coastal elite consultants think it is. Sure it gets a senate seat but reveals the resentment y’all been having since Obama.

@babsy1234 @ZaidJilani You aren't "unsafe", your continued support for Israel just makes you "unpopular". Just b/c you irrationally "feel" something doesn't make it reality.

No candidate who is serious about winning a general election in a swing state would be associating this closely with this dude.
Adam Wren@adamwren

Scoop in @playbookdc: @hasanthehun, the left-wing political streamer with millions of followers, will rally with Michigan Democratic Senate candidate @AbdulElSayed at Michigan State University and the University of Michigan on April 7. It’s his first appearance on the stump for a candidate.
