Yep, more of this (new media with spine, humanity, and grasp of facts).
Also, I appreciate Rep Torres (esp as lgbTQ people are being actively erased) but this is weak and lazy. If the party of Jewish space lasers, “fine people” on both sides, and sig heils win elections, we can call out genocide
In these replies: people who didn't read the article and (unknowingly?) base their perceptions of Hasan on right wing talking points and smears from groyper sexual predators like Destiny. You don't even have to like him.. but flaws and all, his influence is a net positive.
As someone who's watched his full form content, as opposed to clips or articles, I can say most of you commenting have a flawed view of Hasan. Your view of him, like those on the right, comes from isolated clips and articles created to portray him negatively. However, is he the answer to Trump? No.
Hasan does a lot for the movement. I don’t understand why liberals can’t embrace media figures because it does help a lot to gain support and influence. You are delusional if you believe Joe Rogan didn’t have an impact on his audience
I don’t want a Joe Rogan. I want a bunch of people to listen and talk about. Like @travisview.bsky.social @iwriteok.bsky.social @livagar.bsky.social @socialistdogmom.bsky.social I don’t want to worship a lone genius / independent thinker / whatever. I want people who are flawed but doing their best.
Need to have as much reach as possible. The people you might find suitable may push some people away. As long as they are striving and promoting similar leftist ideals, then we need to be inclusive. If hasan has greater reach and is fighting for marginalized groups, then why not platform him?
I’m not saying don’t platform him. I’m saying don’t hold up any one person as the ‘answer to trump.’ I do agree with him that the democratic party is trash.
Well… yeah maybe he isn’t the answer to trump, but more an answer to the overwhelming right wing bias in social media/ internet. Maybe I misunderstood.
As for who can be an answer to trump, I don’t think there’s a clear leader but AOC has the potential to become one.
Reading the comments and it is clear why the Democratic Party is lost. Yall see someone speaking out for marginalized groups such as immigrants and transgender people, for unions, for affordable housing, and other social programs, and you attack his persona lol glad AOC and Bernie engage with him
