This is 💯 what you should do. As some of the people who used to follow @SjwSpiderman learned, his @ was available and then co-opted by a rightwing/Comicsgate bigot and making extreme damage before they were suspended. If you leave follow these instructions. Now more than ever.

@ElectionCenter_ I think you’re both arriving at same point but with different starting point. The point Stephen is making is the left were the first to sound the alarm and oppose Sinema and it was centrist that recruited and elevated her. So this attempt to blame the left for Sinema is lying.

The left never “turned” on sinema. The left was very opposed to her even when she was in the house. She was never a progressive in congress and trying to claim otherwise is willfully lying.
Stephen Robinson (Bluesky at @playtyperguy.com)@SER1897

It was the left who first turned on Sinema and was blamed by mainstream media for "driving" Sinema out of the party. I'd think that mainstream Dems wouldn't want to keep suggesting that the "populist supported by the left" won 58.6 of the vote in a primary.

Lost in the Hasan Piker discourse is the fact that conservative Dems, backed by GOP money, are choosing to alienate young Dem voters by attacking Hasan instead of bringing those voters in by fighting for the policies they want. They are actively choosing to help Republicans.
Acyn@Acyn

Fetterman: It is crazy. You have many of my party, they are proud to do events with Hasan Piker… Democrats have to decide, whose side are you in? Are you proud to stand with that individual or Israel?

@Bludsprt_ You see his other thumbnails where he shows his “muscle men with photoshopped women’s faces” fetish. I’d feel sorry about his repression if he wasn’t such a scumbag bigot.

Classic centrist thing is to spend two weeks shrieking about something and then the instant it’s clear you’re losing the issue, say “why the FUCK are we talking about this thing?”

This is a good take.

You said Democrats are focused on Piker "because he's making their life harder." The only reason Dems are talking about him is because a centrist think tank is campaigning against him as part of its $30-50M effort to crush the left.
Sarah Longwell@SarahLongwell25

Look, the dumbest thing about all this is that I didn’t and don’t care about Piker. Piker never comes up in focus groups with voters as someone they’re following—the way a Rogan or Tucker or Candance does. I don’t think he’s singularly making an impact on politics in any way commensurate with the attention he’s getting. But I care about Tim. I agreed with @Timodc’s original point that using Piker as a litmus test is dumb. Calling up Jon Ossoff to ask what he thinks about Piker is dumb. It is an unnecessary distraction. But I felt like Tim’s discussion of Piker was too dismissive of some of Pikers more toxic positions. And that was the part I wanted to react to. There’s nothing I can do about the fact that the internet distortion field has overtaken the whole thing. And that people are debating my views in a way that is totally divorced from my actual, very-well documented views. That’s just part of what happens when doing this work. The only thing I can do is keep saying what I actually believe. And what I hear voters saying they believe. But politicians can reach voters who are angry about the Iran war and even about America’s relationship to Israel without going on the stream of a guy who said America deserved 9/11. But, it’s also no doubt true that he’s being elevated by the whole conversation and the right answer to questions about him should probably be “Piker, who?” Because that’s what most voters would say if you asked them.

I'm sorry but this is such centrist brainworms. First, nothing Hasan has said is more offensive than anything Joe Rogan or that Islamophobic lunatic Bill Maher has said. Second, they made a big run at their stupid racist Third Way outrage machine and now they've failed so badly that they have to pretend it never happened. Throwing your comms director under the bus is cowardly. Booker is a politician. Why is he taking positions without knowledge of the substance? Does he see how that APPROACH makes him unelectable? You can't think through things that have your name on them? You see how that's a problem for being a LEGISLATOR? God.

Neocons: We took over the Democratic party Abundance guys: the Democrats moved way too far to the left these charts prove it
Egotistical Elephant@GenericName37

@DropSiteNews Sarah Longwell and the Bulwark Neocons were celebrating infiltrating and taking over the Democratic party a week before the 2024 election. Pursuing their approval is what caused Kamala Harris to lose.

Because Third Way decided to make it one and put it as a litmus test for Democratic candidates. Then some like McMorrow, Slotkin and Booker bit it and made it more. Truly a massive backfire by an interest group which ended up hurting the same Dems it was trying to box in.
Rotimi Adeoye@_rotimia

I actually appreciate Booker answer here because he’s right — most people do not know who Hasan Piker is so why do we keep acting like this is some defining issue of the political moment. It’s not!

@SER1897 I also find it hard to believe you don’t know a guy your colleague Bernie has been on with, AOC has been on with, brought up in attacks by Cuomo against Mamdani and former TYT contributor & nephew of its founder. Seriously, if true, it just shows how further disconnected he is.

@SER1897 My thing is this could have been the statement from the jump. But he chose to loudly condemn someone that he didn’t know and make it seem like a deeply held belief. This clip, instead, reveal how hollow that conviction was while showing him quick to back away when it backfired

@Jennyil @trouble_man90 @wideofthepost You can’t even be right about how this began. You sure you want to tell others it’s “in plain English” and question their understanding when you missed the ORIGINAL point? And, yes, where Sinema was aligned when she was recruited is more important than where she was earlier.

@M3Writer @trouble_man90 @wideofthepost The original post had nothing to do with what she was doing before she ran for Senate - it had to do with her start in politics. It said so in plain English - which you are clearly incapable of understanding.

@SER1897 Her “interest” in the Democrats Party is predicated ENTIRELY on how much they behave and govern like the Republican Party she lost (& misses). Which is why holding The Bullwark folks as some “paragons of the Democratic Party” is foolish(at best) or dangerously naive (at worst).

I agree with Longwell about a lot but I think it’s important to also recognize that she has no longterm vested interest in the Democratic Party. If the GOP were restored to sanity tomorrow, she would return to it.
Shannon Watts@shannonrwatts

Anyone who listened to this fair, thorough and nuanced discussion on the Bulwark knows that @SarahLongwell25 cares much more about the survival of democracy and the Democratic Party than herself. Listen for yourself instead of taking the bait.

Sarah, the contradiction in your argument is doing more work than the substance of it. You keep insisting that Hasan Piker is both politically irrelevant to voters and significant enough to warrant repeated public clarification, media attention, and intra-party debate. If he truly doesn't register in voter consciousness the way Joe Rogan or Tucker Carlson do, then the escalation isn't being driven by his influence, but manufactured by the ecosystem reacting to him. Please understand that what you're describing as a "distraction' isn't an organic one. It's a feedback loop. Political and media figures keep invoking him as a proxy for something larger, and then point to the noise as evidence that the conversation itself is excessive. You can't both critique the distortion field and participate in sustaining it. More importantly, this focus on personality, whether dismissive or critical, sidesteps the actual issue, which to me is why certain audiences are tuning into independent political creators in the first place. People aren't looking for Hasan specifically as much as they're looking for a tone, a willingness to engage anger, and a break from the polished ambiguity that defines mainstream political communication. Reducing that to 'toxic positions" without interrogating the underlying appeal misses the point entirely. You're 100% right that turning him into a litmus test is unserious. But again, continuing to center him, even critically, reinforces the same dynamic. If the goal is to reach voters who feel alienated or angry about foreign policy, then the conversation should be about those conditions and failures directly, not about whether engaging with a streamer is reputationally acceptable. At some point, repeatedly saying "this doesn't matter' while also continuing to argue about it publicly starts to look less like analysis and more like agenda setting "by accident". But I digress.
