He has a base of invested and engaged young progressives that directly counter the DNCs narratives and threaten their stranglehold on American left politics.
He’s representative of a genuine populist threat (ACTUAL progressives, not libs), so they need to remove him.
Why do progressives have an easier time winning primaries in red-states than swing-states?
Because the Establishment doesn't invest heavily in stopping candidates that represent the will of the voters.
This is one of the more true indications of where the Democrat base is, versus other elections where dark money is spent to artificially inflate centrist candidates.
.@Mike_from_PA explains the REAL REASON why Establishment Democrats are joining in on the attacks on @hasanthehun.
"Hasan Piker is a bigger threat to Establishment Democrats than the entire Republican party."
"He is organically powerful. He can bring a candidate on his stream, raise them $50,000 of small-dollar donations, get 500 people to make 100,000+ phone calls at the drop of a hat. Imagine what he could for candidates all across the country."
"If you listen to Hasan, you get Zohran Mamdani. If you listen to Hasan, you get Claire Valdez and AOC and Bernie Sanders and Melat Kiros and Summer Lee and Chris Rabb and Donavan Mckinney and Abdul El-Sayed. Look at every politician he supports and they're the best of us!"
"What they're trying to do is create a false narrative, a weakening of Hasan. They want to make Hasan hesitate, they want politicians to hesitate, they want to attach negativity to Hasan."
Hillary Scholten made a literal commercial for Israel when she was on her $29,834.92 all expense paid trip to Israel in 2023. You can find it on AIPAC’s YOUTUBE channel.
The 12 Democrats who have condemned Hasan Piker for criticizing Israel have received a combined $14 million from AIPAC/Pro-Israel PACs.

hello, i’m a democratic congressman/woman. i know it costs $50 to fill your gas tank with the cheap gas, you have to pull out your credit card to keep food on the table, and you can barely afford housing. that’s why i’m online today posting lies about hasan piker.
it's been insane watching the media hysteria treat people like hasan piker saying "conflating jews and the actions of the state of israel is dangerous" and act like he's being anti-semitic. how in the world is this anything close to that, it's the exact opposite!
what a relief. i was worried he was going to spend time talking about topics actually impacting everyones lives like the iran war or skyrocketing inflation and prices or how all food is poison now
right-wing media chooses one young woman in dsa each week to sexualize + give as fodder to rabid right-wing trolls, who in turn find where you live, where you work, and who your family is in order to send you detailed rape and death threats + make sure you never feel safe again
Kind of incredible that any random DSA member can get their very own NY Post article right now with a single tweet, they'll use nice photos of you and everything
