        And Tucker Carlson is just some youtube streamer.

        Joe Rogan is some spotify streamer.

        Your point is a point without a point.

        Many twitch streamers are influencial. That’s why many progressive candidate talked to him and that’s why establishment are going to fox news the media wing of the fascists to trash him. Establishment Democrats makes Democrats stupid

        I don’t know… I will admit the reason he’s fair game and relevant is because he has gone on campaign tours with el sayed and gotten interviews with other DSA candidates. I’d say he’s not relevant to the democrats as a whole, but individuals who bring him to campaign events… are liable in the same way that any republican candidate that invites Kanye or Fuentes is accepting some baggage from them.

        That being said, I’d also point out Pikers baggage is just plain stupidly overblown as well. The guy streams for like 8 hours a day. The main “ammunition” against him, is one statement he made 8 years ago along the lines of “America deserved 9/11”. which he admitted he admitted was more of a misphrasing, and meant it as “america is responsible for the conditions that made 9/11 an inevitability”.
