This is like the third or fourth union drive I’ve seen that directly mentions Hasan as a source of inspiration. No matter his faults, he’s the only leftist online “influencer” who it seems has an actual impact.

    Hasan is probably had a bigger influence than Chapo both due to the size of his audience, and I imagine his audience is more normie. Like a decent chunk of chapo listeners were probably only a couple of degrees removed from their local DSA chapter or volunteering for the Bernie campaign, and somewhat likely to get involved with or without them. But both are probably a net good.
