Here is the full thread where Squirrel exposed Kamala. And another more recent one.
It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
The threads are good but the screengrab shitting on hasan is kinda dumb. His takes on the odds of the horse race are not an endorsement, he says every two minutes how bad and full of ghouls the democratic party is and kamala specifically. He's not without flaws or squishiness but come on
You cannot say the “threads” are good and defend how Hasan has been glazing Kamala the past few days.
I’ll stick to the topic of Palestine: Ever since Biden dropped out, Hasan has consistently talking about how Kamala is good on Palestine. Even before, he talked of how Kamala distanced herself from Biden’s pro-genocide position, bringing up that one clip where she said the word “ceasefire” as if that’s proof.
This is either a lie while he knows the truth that Squirrel has pointed out in multiple threads (more than the two I linked), in which case Hasan is being a grifter liar, hiding the truth from his audience for other domestic considerations.
Or he doesn’t know just how horrible Kamala is on Palestine, in which case he is irresponsible and uninformed, misleading his massive audience like the blind leading the blind. He calls himself a political commentator - it’s his responsibility to be informed on the policies and actions of the Democratic Presidential nominee.
Hasan said how he was not going to vote for Biden because of his pro-genocide actions. Kamala has the same positions, even worse in some cases. Yet Hasan is not pointing those out, either due to his own ignorance or for other reasons. Both are bad.
I'll preface this by saying I'm not much of a hasan watcher, he just puts out too many hours of shit for me and the density of analysis or even entertainment is so low compared to good non-streaming slop.
but what I have seen from him lately doesn't bear this out. His feeling that Kamala is likely to win is simply not an endorsement, nor do I see it as "glazing her up". He is analysing the horse race, and I think he's right that if she plays her cards right the stain of this genocide will not hurt her nearly as much as it hurt Biden, regardless of the reality (that she is seemingly just as committed to isntrael and supportive of genocide as biden is). I don't know if I saw the clip where she said ceasefire, but I'm willing to be that again that's about better messaging/optics for her, not about action.
Now is it responsible to take such glee in analyzing the horse race and has he done enough to show his audience how horrible Kamala will also be? Probably not. Like I said he's far from flawless, I just don't think its fair to say he supports Kamala or promotes her to his audience
His coverage of Kamala, especially the last couple days, has not been just analyzing the “horse race”. I’m not saying he agrees with her policies/actions.
But his coverage has been focused on getting her elected, becuase to him she is good enough while Biden was not. This might even be your position. But where I draw the line, and where it really galls me, is when he lies about her record and views on Palestine.
What was a redline when it came to Biden is just an inconvenient truth to be hidden and ignored until the election.
None of what Squirrel has talked regarding Kamala on Palestine has gotten any coverage on Hasan’s streams. When her views on Palestine come up, in fact, you could be forgiven for assuming she is even pro-Palestine (at least compared to others near her position), if all you do is watch Hasan.
I'll have to watch more of his coverage then because that's very unfortunate if true. it was not the vibe I got but like I said, not watched much of it.
I don't get what's like very specific about mentioning only what squirrel has said about kamala on the thread. It is known to him and his chatters what the democrat stance is. And what kamala's stance is. Its supporting the genocide. Just cause he didn't extensively talk about what posts she shared doesn't mean he wants to lead his audience to vote for her.
Wydm getting her elected, do you think he is running some super pac for kamala.
He didn't lie though. He said we shall and wait how she will position herself regarding Israel.
