When they said they wanted a “Joe Rogan of the left” they actually meant a mega corpo funded, status quo upholding podcast bro..
Jacobin@jacobin
Democrats said they wanted a podcast bro of their own. Now they’re trying to cancel @hasanthehun, their top contender. What they actually wanted was a branded content asset, not someone authentic with genuinely appealing politics: jacobin.com/2026/04/democr…

@hutchinson It's a psyop Hutch. The Dem media elites are trying to force him on us because they enjoy having him at their Dimes Square coke parties, instead of finding somebody dems actually like.
English
He thinks the Democratic Party is the 2nd most evil institution in the world and genuinely hates 99% of elected democrats.
Refusing to go on his stream is not what “cancelling” means. He’s toxic. Why would any mainstream dem in a competitive seat be seen cozying up to him lol?

@kevinmidway @travishelwig lol until Jews or Taiwanese or Ukrainians are involved maybe.

Leftists: War is bad and healthcare should be affordable.
MAGA: War is good and healthcare should be illegal.
Third Way: Hmmm... perhaps a Third Way????

@kyle700 @jamesetta_w @HeerJeet Cope.
"They should take this and blast it far and wide"...yes, that's what...posting to Twitter is.
English
@jamesetta_w @HeerJeet Don't you guys realize what he's saying is the party needs to do something with it? Not just post a clip of trump in Twitter? It isn't even criticizing them yet. They should take this and blast it far and wide
English
The instinct to criticize Democrats is so strong @HeerJeet didn’t realize he was retweeting a viral clip from a DNC rapid response account. The jokes write themselves folks.
Jeet Heer@HeerJeet
An opposition party, if such a thing existed, could do a lot with this clip.

@lfeatherz Hasan has 20% favorability with young men, young men hate him.
English
this exactly. they're like, boo-hoo, why do the young men hate us, but they...actually hate the young men.

Democrats spent the last year asking where their Joe Rogan was. Hasan Piker is one of the few left-wing figures with the audience they covet — but the party is deeply hostile to the spontaneity and independence that make figures like him appealing. jacobin.com/2026/03/democr…

@Lauren_V_Egan "If democracy really is at risk, do Dems have the luxury of alienating someone like Piker".
Yes because Piker doesn't believe in liberal democracy.
English
NEW: I wrote about the Hasan Piker debate and how it is testing the limits of Dems "big tent."
If democracy really is at risk, do Dems have the luxury of alienating someone like Piker, or do they have to make political alliances with people who have said questionable things on the internet?

@Lauren_V_Egan "especially given how they've urged Dems to stop cancel culture"
So by this logic Dems should ally with the KKK and Nazis? We wouldn't want to give CANCEL CULTURE a win, how horrible.
English
There are plenty of folks who see Third Way's focus on Piker as hypocritical, especially given how they've urged Dems to stop cancel culture and ignore interest group questionnaires
“This is so clearly Third Way riling people up in a way that is so disingenuous,” said Amanda Litman.

@Agentsam23_ @AaronRegunberg @hasanthehun Typical Hasan simp thinking the only reason to dislike a champagne socialist with $5k shirts is money.
English
@InfosecThrow @AaronRegunberg @hasanthehun Awww. Cry and lie more. Maybe you can get that 7k check. Doubt it though as you have 0 motion.
English
I interviewed @hasanthehun. It turns out his centrist critics may have gotten "guy who's an antisemite" mixed up with "guy who actively works to shake young men out of antisemitism."
English
@Wilson__Valdez The Dems need an entirely new media infrastructure and strategy ASAP. Unfortunately all they have come up with is more of the same, asking the media elites to get Hasan on the phone since he is big in the leftist space and literally nowhere else.
English
It really can't be overstated how much the political media hated the Biden years because there was just nothing fun to cover. And now there is so much 'fun'. We are so back, baby!!!
scary lawyerguy@scarylawyerguy
*Exactly* the kind of chaos the media was hoping for b/c competent governance was SO BORING 🙄
English
@Rizabellepow Russell telling his fans to vote after they couldn't register is a top 10 politics moment.
English
Look at what happened to Russell Brand. He pulled the same nonsense, and now he’s irrelevant.
English
Hasan is flaming out, but here is the real reason why. Politicians don’t want to have anything to do with him- not because of his views- but because he doesn’t help them get voters. He actively tells his listeners both sides are the same and he encourages them not to vote.
English
@RidireGeas @Shadoo_creeture @Waddleclaws13 It isn't even that most of the time, it is an ideology that lionizes and centers being a turbo asshole.
English
@Shadoo_creeture @Waddleclaws13 Every day I think about how nearly every problem in the world would be resolved if every republican voter just ceased to exist.
It's bewildering how humanity enabled an ideology that does nothing but idolizes a fictional past instead of striving towards a better future.

how american conservatives genuinely look at you when you ask them to actually conserve something in america
Natural Resources Democrats@NRDems
BREAKING: The Trump administration voted to let Big Oil ignore every endangered species protection in the Gulf of Mexico. In a single meeting, Trump's corrupt cabinet gave oil companies a free pass to kill endangered whales & sea turtles so they can drill without limits. 🧵

@PJ11819211 This is Elon's property. He profits off it, and when it comes down to it he always controls the speech here, and already has in the past.
Moving to Bluesky makes perfect sense.
English
A lot of libs that moved to bsky moved under the belief that the right wing had completely hijacked the cultural zeigest, that we were entering a new chud age and that it was time to retreat.
They didn't realize they only had to wait like 6-8 months and see the American right
English
@Wilson__Valdez It isn't even really the blue check, we shouldn't be on this website at all. The cringe Nazi profits. But I'm here so I'm in no position to judge, neither is anyone else still here.
Bluesky doesn't have hotties or fun daily insane stuff, otherwise I would be there more often.
English
I've thought about it and I think I'm going to get the damn blue check. I've been leaving a ton of money on the table with my Good Posts and I could use the money (people are struggling in the Trump economy). Please don't hate me.
Not a Good Jewish Girl✡️@estherzelda0514
I got my first payment from Twitter and my fiancée is so mad that I didn't sign up for Premium earlier. She's of the opinion that if she occasionally has to hear about the internet drama of the day, I should be making enough money shitposting to take her out for a nice dinner.

@blankslate2017 "more political confrontation is required" has Platner even promised to do anything like that? Trials for this admin? arresting Trump? Anything?
English
There are 3 issues facing centrists:
- Age
- the view that they want to 'work within the system' when the reality is the GOP has broken it & more political confrontation is required
- a desire for rapid modernization & future focused thinking to catch up w/the rest of the world.
Political Polls@PpollingNumbers

@madisontayt_ Leftist men are spiritually MAGA guys but openly gay.
English
when we talk about misogyny in left wing men it’s shit like this.
this guy’s gonna go back to his DSA meetings and pat himself on the back for being so radical, meanwhile his entire personality is rooted in degrading women.

@DropSiteNews @NerdeenKiswani wait. THAT'S what she looks like? Pfp is doing some heavy (😌) lifting.
English
@Wilson__Valdez Funny how so much of his staff bailed over the Totenkopf and nobody really cared about it.
Concerned Collins is going to cruise to re-election.
English
There are so many Platner red flags, that even me, someone who is highly attuned to them keeps discovering new ones.
From the new NYT piece, he apparently got a DUI and his explanation was 'uhh actually I was hit by a drunk driver (while also being a drunk driver).' Seems legit.

@InfosecThrow @theroguednc Explain to me how destroying Democrats is a bad thing
