so this guy takes a private jet to coachella, wears a $1100 hawaiian shirt there, and is a "socialist"? 🙄 pic.twitter.com/DV0eYfBknp— punished ostonox (@ostonox) April 16, 2022
At a certain point we have to acknowledge that the left has next to zero influence in the “mainstream” and realize we have to take what we can get. People with Hasan’s level of influence don’t just pop out of thin air. Yeah I think he’s a cringe consoomer but at the end of the day we seriously aren’t accomplishing anything by harping on the point. If he’s gone for the hat trick you kinda have to realize that Twitter pile-ons won’t change how he operates, so at a certain point we just have to take what we can get because we don’t have the influence to prop up another more principled person to the level of Hasan, so by tearing down his platform we’re only hurting ourselves. Bernie can fuck right off for Yugoslavia but I’ll still support him in his :yes-honey-left:ing through another campaign for the expressed means of pipelining people leftwards, of which I was one of.

I agree with this, but people are complaining here not on twitter, I don't condone wasting time trying to argue with him personally or on twitter either it is a waste of time.
You may be right that his platform is doing good right "now" but the sad thing is he may well end up ruining that platform partially by himself. I don't see any harm in people understanding this and being critical of it.
