Ok so I'll play out this thought experiment. If Hasan had Obama on his stream it would depend. If he just treated him like a friend and was excited to see him, that would piss me and his community off, but if he asked him some serious questions. Like why didn't you prosecute the bush admin for war crimes, why did you let everyone off the hook for 2008, how do you feel about all the drone strikes after getting a nobel peace prize, how do you feel about being known as the deporter in chief, why did you pass a private healthcare instead of a public option, do you feel responsible for rise of trump and fascism..... I have a feeling Hasan would ask these questions and that's probably why Obama would never be on his stream.

So you have to ask yourself, why was Hillary not afraid to be grilled with similar questions that would hold her accountable?

She deliberately doesn't say Hasan because she knows she'd be laughed at for comparing herself to him. She isn't in the left while Hasan is.

Also people with actual political power are spending time trying to make Hasan the scape goat for all Democratic failures while Natalie Wynn is being called out for things she did by twitter accounts with a thousandth of her follower count.

I'm not entirely sure how cynical I should be but she might also be trying to bait transphobic attacks to turn it around and argue all criticism of Me/Clinton/Harris is misogyny

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago

She's definitely implying misogyny even without transphobia. But yeah there's a bait in there too.

"So what's it like being the first Nobel Peace Prize recipient to drone strike another Nobel Peace Prize recipient?" hasan-ok-dude

Can we actually stop writing fanfiction?

Hasan is a trillion times better than Contra but he is just not the type to ask the though questions, afaik be tried to reach out to Obama but it didn't go through, he never asked AOC or Bernard anything even though they're pretty fine with the genocide that was going on, I can't see him looking Obama in the eyes and telling him he's a murderer, neither can I see him telling Gavin Newsom he's a piece of shit IF the supposed interview with him happens.

EDIT: The genocide that IS STILL GOING ON. My bad gang, it makes it way fucking worse.

This wouldn’t impress me. Grilling a fucking mass murderer isn’t helping.

[–] BobDole@hexbear.net 40 points 2 days ago (2 children)

What if he literally grilled him tho matt-grillin

[–] fannin@hexbear.net 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You’d probably need badempanada to go that far.

[–] JustSo@hexbear.net 24 points 2 days ago (1 children)

unfortunately I think he'd easily beat BE's ass. :(

[–] fannin@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago

Maybe. Obama looks in shape.

[–] Thordros@hexbear.net 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

HASAN DOESNT HAVE THE BALLS TO GRILL HIM

[–] Sneakytrickyyy@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah I doubt he would

[–] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I mean, what else can Hasan do with Obama? At the very least, it would be satisfying to watch.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 17 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

he could take the L and do something extremely cool

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 12 points 2 days ago

Not worth it for a netflix producer imo
