It’s like I never left Reddit lol

It wasn’t too fucking late for Harris to change messaging though.

You failed then.

I was simply responding to you claiming you’ve never seen this topic of the Democrats wanting their own Joe Rohan before today.

It has been a topic bantered about for a while now.

Weird how attempting to control peoples opinions online didn’t win Harris the presidency then.

Maybe the focus should’ve been on earnestly listening to concerns from the leftists under the umbrella instead of silencing them.

That sounds eerily like Reddit at the same time. I was absolutely lambasted for speaking up about Harris’ messaging on Israel and such.

Lemmy may not be quite as different from Reddit as we want to claim.

Yep. And let’s not forget, just as recently as a year ago, Lemmy would ban people for saying “both parties suck.”

Oh interesting. Good to know.

Hasan is popular with the left.

Deal with it.

Oh I’m sure there’s plenty of people who know Hasan exists without ever realizing who Destiny is and I love that for him.

I’m sure it chaps little Stevie’s ass every time.

Huh, TIL. There’s an interesting personal account from someone who interned at Ring of Fire and worked with RFK Jr. out there. Seems to be his lack of research is a common theme throughout his life.

Democrats are on the hunt for their own Joe Rogan from May 2025

Democrats seeking to buy the ‘next Joe Rogan’ of the left after 2024 election defeat also May 2025

Lowry: The Left can’t create a new Joe Rogan

It’s definitely been a topic for a couple of years now.

I also love how versatile onions are. They can be spicy or sweet depending on how you prepare them. You can grow them easily, even from scraps. They’re a very magical plant :)

You clearly have never watched his streams, so it’s very easy to dismiss your claims on this.

You’re more than welcome to continue to try to spread rumors about Hasan and “take him down”, but he’s part of the political landscape, he’s a voice on the left that is sorely lacking for quite a large demographic, and he is an influential pundit whether you like it or not.

Just wanted to note that I’ve been enjoying your contributions lately. I perk up when I see TropicalDingDong has entered the conversation :)

Being knowledgeable about who Hasan is is not the same as falling for a cult of personality, but nice try lol

Ethan Klein, Destiny, and Dan Saltman all have a hard on to take Hasan down and collaborate on how to do so frequently. They’re obsessed.

You have fallen for a disinformation campaign.

Like it’s not about if I like Hasan or not, like, if they are to my taste. It’s about whose got the numbers then trying to understand why. And Hasan speaks to a pretty unrepresented coalition of people who are far from rightwing, and also, far from naively supportive of Democrats. And I think it’s because they are willing to be say the quiet parts out loud, like “US deserved 9/11”.

He also taps into a demographic that the Dems have lost in the past - disillusioned young men.

This was a great read, thanks for sharing.

You’ve completely lapped up their disinformation campaign while remaining ignorant of their existence then. Almost impressive.

Oh Jesus, this bullshit from Destiny and Saltman has permeated here as well? Gross.

The party is deeply hostile to anything that questions capitalism and the status quo. They’re shooting themselves in the foot, again, by wanting to push Hasan away as a messenger. He clearly appeals to a certain demographic under the left’s umbrella.
