@neeratanden Most Dems dont know who Piker is, correct. So why are Dems more concerned with smearing him instead of putting up actual opposition to a war that no one, especially Dem voters, want?

I missed how every Dem leader went on Hasan Piker's show to make this happen.
Just like there are very few Dems on Joe Rogan and Trump is still dropping with young people.
The truth is no podcaster controls whole blocks of voters. This debate has become divorced from reality.

@kenklippenstein If Trump's budget is an xray, then Dems are a void. What do the Dems offer? What would they fund? Would they restore giving more of our money to insurers? Would they continue funding Israel? Dems will not beat GOP until they can offer a compelling vision for the country

Chuck Schumer's statement on Trump's record $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget: "If Republicans choose to go along with this budget, they will be like Thelma and Louise and follow Donald Trump's political fortunes off the same cliff."
English
@anthonyzenkus They are following this plan for 2028 because if their goals were to continue funding Israel to act as our attack dog, in their eyes they are achieving their goal. That is why simply voting Dem wont fix our problems. We must get involved in primaries and remove the war hawks
English
Leftists had one clear demand of Democrats in 2024: stop the genocide and end US funding to Israel. Democrats ignored us and lost.
Centrists response is now to marginalize and blame us for making that demand and yell at podcasters. This is their winning formula for 2028.
English
@samstein They want to attack the base for wanting things the DNC doesnt approve of, but that would be too direct. So they attack Piker, a person who shares many of the beliefs of the base, but is mostly unknown. They want you to think "opposing zionism makes you a bigot like Piker!"

@MaceAhWindu The sooner Jeffries and Schumer are forcibly ousted from their leadership positions, the sooner we can even start to consider things improving

Hakeem Jeffries is gonna get a 75 seat majority and do absolutely nothing with it lol

@ScottJenningsKY No, you're not taking crazy pills. You're just a mouthpiece. No matter what you say, no one is going to want this war.
English
A Democrat told me with a straight face that President Trump has yet to explain the Iranian threat…
REALLY? Nuclear weapons, missiles that can reach most of Europe, the world’s largest exporter of terror. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

@umichvoter Hasan's point was that if Newsom was the 2028 candidate, he would likely vote third party because at that point his vote wouldnt really matter. Newsom would be a weak, no belief, corporate dem who would struggle to get votes like with Harris.
English
Gavin Newsom > MAGA right wingers in power
Shannon Watts@shannonrwatts
Hasan Piker says he'll vote for a third party candidate if the Democratic nominee is Gavin Newsom. Reminder that Piker is not a Democrat, but a millionaire who makes money by fomenting political discord. newsweek.com/hasan-piker-de…

@MorePerfectUS We are seeing how relatively low cost munitions can negate our high cost ones. Eventually these arms will be turned to where the low cost munitions don't exist, here at home. We are having our future robbed to fund the tools that will be used to subjugate us

Trump has proposed a $1.5 trillion defense budget — a 40% increase, the largest since WWII.
In exchange for more war he wants to:
-Cut the EPA budget by half
-Cut $10.7 billion for housing
-Cut $8.5 billion for K-12 programs
-Cancel $15 billion for clean energy
-Cut $2.5 billion for clean drinking water
-Eliminate $1.6 billion for youth job training
-Cut $3.5 billion from the Labor Department
-Eliminate $395 million for senior employment
-Eliminate $775 million in food assistance grants
-Eliminate the National Endowment for Democracy
-Cut $5 billion from the National Institutes of Health
-Eliminate the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP)
In all, cuts to domestic programs would account for a 10% reduction in discretionary spending.

It is so obvious what Dems should run on. Vote Republican if you want endless war. Vote Democrat if you want daycare.
But to do that, Dems must commit to slashing the defense budget. Unfortunately, half the current Dem party won't do it. That's why we need to change the party.

Trump: We can't take care of daycare. We're a big country. We're fighting wars. It's not possible for us to take care of daycare, Medicaid, Medicare, all these things.
English
@_iamblakeley Thats the kind of person who stands outside with her fingers in her ears hysterically repeating "He said he wouldnt vote! He said he wouldnt vote!"
English
The quoted post. The repost. The condescension they insist on despite the fact that no one’s likes them. It’s just all too perfect. 😂

I am not a fan of Gavin Newsom. I would vote for him in a heartbeat if he were the nominee. Because I'm not an idiot.

@ryangrim Even when looking at this from a warmonger's POV, Iran is showing the huge diminishing returns from these insane military budgets. Our whole future is getting robbed by these blood thirsty war hawks in both parties. We should treat them as the thieves they are
English
@AbdulElSayed Democrats should be hammering Trump on what we've lost due to these insane military budgets. That is of course, if they actually want to invest in the country.
English
@DanielDenvir @thenation @hasanthehun Establishment dems want to attack the base for wanting things they dont support like universal healthcare, fair housing, no war, etc. They cant do that directly, so they attack Hasan, someone who supports these things, but is someone most dems know nothing about.
English
For @thenation I wrote about antisemitism smears against @hasanthehun, an attempt to protect both Israel and Dem establishment from legitimate criticism. The fake antisemitism outrage machine, however, no longer shuts up the left—it empowers the far right thenation.com/article/politi…

@GovPressOffice Dude is a raging Zionist who gave up on his domestic agenda to help do a genocide with our money. He should be having an extended stay at The Hague. Of course this account would like him. More reason why I will never vote for Newsom.

RT if you miss having a President with empathy

@AaronRegunberg Listen, its a big tent, and thats why theres only room for pro war Dems
English
I hate to contradict Third Way but I’m gonna go out on a crazy limb and say it’d probably be more electorally valuable for every Dem to spend the next two weeks hammering this line rather than debating what we all think about Hasan Piker.

@mehdirhasan War crimes to disrupt Iran / EU negotiations likely
English
This is what terrorism looks like, state terrorism, we do it to others and then we act shocked when others do it back to us.
War crimes:

B1 bridge in Karaj has been hit in US-ISRAELI attacks. This bridge is reportedly the "highest bridge in West Asia."
English
@ryangrim Its the standard use of Israel. The US has Israel bomb parties who are currently in negotiation to disrupt the entire process. The US had Israel bomb Hamas when they were negotiating with the US. Now Israel is bombing Iran for future negotiations with the EU.
English
The more civilian infrastructure we destroy in Iran and the more we set back their economy, the more determined Iran will be to extract the maximum possible toll from oil passing through what is now their strait.
That toll will be paid by us and the rest of the world through a higher cost of living.
So just be aware that every video of a bridge being blown up, a pharmaceutical plan destroyed, a medical clinic flattened, is a video of something *you* are going to pay to rebuild.

we’re here because corpo centrist pro israel dems believe that trumps unpopularity will be enough to give them marginal electoral victories w/o having to push for material changes that address the working class needs. people want real fighters. they want real change!!!
(((Harry Enten)))@ForecasterEnten
Congressional Dems' numbers with Dems are atrociously awful. (Even worse among all voters.) Most Dems (55%) think their party has the wrong priorities! Unlike 2006 or 2018, Dem leaders have a negative net approval with Dems! Schumer is on thin ice to hold his job next year.
