I was pretty sure this was going to be the major political event where someone said "tankie."

The tagline has had me on edge for ages now

I heard a boomer lib radio host I hate listen to say it last year if that counts

Hasan being too radical is lmao-tier. Didn't he propose voting for the demonrats? I'm so sick of politics being so fucking stupid. I don't even want to write about what's going on because if I'm going to write narratively captivating antagonists they need to be better put together than the empty rehearsals and unlistening managerial LOSERS that I see here. Hasan is fine. It's just that these people would have a panic attack if they knew their restaurant food was made with MSG and seed oil.

Voted for Holocaust Harris, constantly is trying to save the Democratic Party from itself, etc

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 16 points 3 months ago (5 children)

And the loudest and most visible pro-Palestine voice in the country

Which automatically makes him more radical than anyone who's ever used this site

[–] SeizeTheBeans@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago (37 children)

I get what you're saying, but I can't help it, I have to be pedantic here because words matter. How radical a person is is not dependent on how big their platform or loud their voice is, how many people they've exposed to leftist thought, or even how much material change they can affect or may have brought about. How radical a person is really is dependent on their positions and convictions, that's simply what the word means. The "leftists" of the acceptable US political spectrum (aka liberals) may consider Hasan as the most radical extremist they can imagine, but he is absolutely not anywhere near as radical as the majority of people posting on this site.

If you want to say that Hasan has furthered the cause of leftism more than anyone here because of his reach, that he has done more to bring awareness and ultimately some form of material support for Palestine, then I'm inclined to agree, that's very likely true. But no one who advocates for voting for Democratic presidential candidates is genuinely a radical leftist.

So the bigger the platform, the more radical?

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 12 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Pretty sure the crucial element is the pro-Palestine thing, which is why I mentioned the pro-Palestine thing, you know, that thing he uses his big ass platform to boost despite the hate and backlash he receives for it

[–] RomCom1989@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I mean he had people on the stream who were on the sumud flotilla,you can't just put him in the same pot as vaush

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

Dudes got a fuckton of money and isn't housing homeless people, I know people here that are much poorer that are. So idk

[–] CyborgMarx@hexbear.net 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The dude gives small fortunes to charities and mutual aid orgs all the time

What do you want him to do? Front 500,000 dollars for a two bedroom and put some random homeless person in it?

His job is to radicalize people, not fix homelessness by his millionaire lonesome

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (14 children)

this is libshit

i house a homeless person in my own apartment, im not rich. and its ridiculous to act like 500k is how much you need for a 2 bedroom (where are you housing people, downtown manhattan??), in fact housing homeless people is incredibly cheap to do, many are even on disability and can pay for their own food, just not housing.

so yeah i do have a standard, to do at least what i do when youre that rich. and i know people that have less money than me that do this too! and yes, i have housed homeless people that i knew for a total of 5 hours prior

edit:

for the audience, it should be noted that homeless people are systemically segregated and considered untouchable. its basically impossible for them to get housing even when they have a job and money due to bad credit. opening your home to them can often save you money because you can buy in bulk together and prepare food together. this is the essence of mutual aid. it is the individualist mindset that considers these people a burden for not living up to the capitalist system's standards.

My favorite part of the debate was still when the Italian attacked Zohran for condemning Christopher Columbus

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 42 points 3 months ago (3 children)

"he won't denounce globalize the intifada" didn't he do that and that's why he's on the hexbear "he sucks now" vibe list

[–] SexUnderSocialism@hexbear.net 80 points 3 months ago

He's on the "social fascist" list because he's helping to manufacture consent by calling Maduro a dictator, right when the US is actively attempting regime change in Venezuela.

[–] SickSemper@hexbear.net 44 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Yeah he specifically said he would discourage its use, but as we've said from the start, you give an inch and they'll still pretend you never moved

America using this mayoral election as a referendum on socialism is such dumb theater this country is 330 million people fuck off.

Dear media: none of this is going to restore your shattered legitimacy in the eyes of… anyone?

[–] NecroParagon@midwest.social 24 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

I agree in spirit, but this specific case is important because New York is the largest city in America, double the population of the second city LA.

It serves as a rallying symbol for the left if someone could be elected to such an office.

At this point we'll take whatever we can get.

really just seems like you'd say you don't know who he is and let Cuomo look even more pathetic trying to bring up streamer drama

[–] CocteauChameleons@hexbear.net 10 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Hasan actually interviewed Zohran a couple months ago

Seventh circle of loser shit

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 25 points 3 months ago

That's Incredible. What a loser.

[–] booty@hexbear.net 22 points 3 months ago

I hereby denounce Hamas Piker, CEO of Antifa, leader of all Terrorism® in the Middle-Eastern region, and architect of 9/11. I swear that when I am elected, I will have Mr. Piker placed in stocks in Central Park so that the people of this great country may hurl insults and rotten produce at him.

Did Mamdami hit back with 'you're a SAer and responsible for the mass death of elderly people during Covid?'

Or has the dem civility worm fully taken over yet?

[–] WhyEssEff@hexbear.net 21 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I only watched part of it but he brought up the mass elder social murder very early in the debate
