Hasan Piker

You're the reason why she lost.

I'm like, I am incapable.

there is no singular force in this country that is capable of making or breaking an election and if that was real then it is the most idiotic thing not to listen to my demands but everybody knows that that's not real right if i had this singular force to be able to make kamala harris the president then kamala harris should be coming to me every day and being like let me do a collab with you please right that's not the case of course and they know it that's why they didn't do it but um

The campaigns are always responsible for whether or not they are able to win the crowds.

You know, combat against the couch, not necessarily even against the Republican Party, but usually you're fighting against the couch, people who just don't go out and vote.

And for me, the way I see it is if the Democratic establishment makes this decision one more time, just as they did with Hillary Clinton, just as they did with Kamala Harris, and in some ways, just as they did with Joe Biden as well, which led to Trump, too.

then they just don't care, and there's not much I can do beyond that.

Let me tell you something.

Even entertain that stuff, especially this far out from an election.

But even in the primary season, that's immediately the conversation is like, well, whoever is the candidate, you're going to vote for them, right?

And you know what's really indecent about that, too?

They never return the favor for left flank candidates.

Because no one ever made hay about Bernie Sanders potentially becoming the candidate.

And all of the articles that came out about how Trump might be more preferable to Bernie Sanders.

because they were writing those liberals were writing those articles talking about how you know the head of goldman sachs who was like i'm a lifetime democratic party voter i think uh you know donald trump is better than bernie sanders i know

I've had a lot of technical issues.

Sorry.

I mean, I think as the as the white guy on the panel, it's probably not my place to say this, but I have this theory of permissible racism that the broad majorities of white people who might share racialized animus might consider to be like somewhat permissible because anti-blackness is baked into every orifice of American society.

And there are a couple of things that you can't you can't touch.

Right.
