This mostly just points to your own ignorance about what is going on in the mainstream media. Hasan comes up around here once, maybe twice a week, but he is non-stop in the news cycle for mainstream Dems. The fact that my mother knows who he is means that he has reached the average politics watcher (which is still a minority entertainment product).

Does it point to my ignorance? Or does it point to the fact that I'm just not a USAian?

Okay? So why do we care so much about him that there are more posts about him than those with actual power?

I would rather hear more about local state and county level politics than some streamer.

Because doxxing? I am already way too flagrant with my shit, but like, I am pretty secure.

It doesn't have to be local to you. Highlight novel actual reporting.
