Progressive Twitch streamer Hasan Piker filed a defamation lawsuit against conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings on Tuesday, accusing him of falsely claiming Piker advocated for lynching Blac…
Because he’s providing real political and moral leadership while the “leadership” internal to the Democratic party are cuckold failures.
Hasan backed candidates have basically wiped the floor throughout both the Democratic primaries and now general elections. As people have recognized the failures of both centrism and bipartisanship, explicitly socialist views expressed through a relatable, non academic, non corporate views have real purchase. Expect them to continue to grow into a household name. You better get comfortable in this new reality.

Which is one reason dear cumfart (this comment can’t get removed for using a username right?) is so upset and attempting to deflect from a very important slander lawsuit.
Will be amazing to see Jennings either have to do an apology or see how low he goes to try and get out of it
He actually agrees with you, he’s just a twitch streamer who does political commentary and occasional activism when it aligns with his ideology. He would happily stay in his lane. But the democrats and republicans have turned him into a big deal and gone out of their way to slander him.
He’s been a political commentator even before he became a streamer. He probably still reacts to content on the account that political commentary largely depends on reacting to interviews, news clips, articles etc. I’m sure he probably does non-political reactions, such as the recent H3H3 implosion, but as with political commentary he adds a lot of commentary ontop the content. There was even a viral clip of casuallyexplained calling out Hasan for constantly pausing videos to add his own commentary.
The idea that he mostly stole content from others is one of the multitude of lies his haters have told over the years. He’s a far cry from the react streamers who consume content in its entirety and add only “uh-uh, yeah, right.”
All I’ve seen from him is watching a video and offering nothing but the occasional laugh, then rushing to stop it before any self promotion from the creator can play.
He has something like over 20 000 hours streamed. I’m sure you’re going to run into that as well, but if that’s all you’ve ever seen… I guess you must be the worlds unluckiest viewer to always find him doing just that.
I mean you can literally open his stream right at this very moment, he’s not just sitting there “reacting” like a houseplant. He’s not even watching a video others made.
Scott Jennings is an American conservative political strategist, commentator and writer. During the George W. Bush administration, Jennings was appointed special assistant to the president and deputy director of political affairs in February 2006.
I like you, you’re a great poster here, but it’s wild to pretend that “just a steamer” means they’re unimportant nowadays. We’re not far from a streamer president in CURRENT YEAR, the amount of influence is incredible. I don’t like that fact, but hey, I gotta adapt.
I think a race to the bottom is the only way in the US… shit, anything is better than the opposition they try to throw at the party of evil lawl
I wasn’t saying streamer president immediately, but we’re for sure on track for streamer president by 2040. People love entertainer presidents (I mean…) and “streamer” or “YouTuber” is far more recognized as a parasocial-able figure to latch onto than “traditional media guy” at this point.
Edit: oh! I meant “In CURRENT YEAR we’re not far from a streamer president” rather than “we will have one right now”—I’m sorry for my bad verbiage in my other comment!
Weird that you think interviewing, fundraising, and getting out volunteers to doorknock/phonebank for DSA endorsed candidates nationwide isn’t anything important
He literally canvases and makes appearances at rallies for the candidates he’s supporting. Maybe do more research than none at all next time?
Also you seem to be ignoring the answer to this question you were already given, deliberately i have to imagine. Hasan gets views, gets attention. Views and attention are power, they’re influence. If Hasan has 100k viewers that’s 100k potential votes for a candidate.
What are you not understanding about that? It seems really straightforward that views and influence = power.
I don’t know who he is.
But if I do know who he is, he’s not very famous.
But if he is famous, he’s not doing anything newsworthy.
But if he is doing something newsworthy, it’s not very important.
But if he is doing something important, I didn’t do any research about him.
My first comment was ‘who gives a shit about a twitch streamer’ so obviously I know a bit about him I’ve just never wasted time in my life watch any twitch streamer.
And I’m definitely not going to research them either.
That’s your opinion mang thats fine. And just like the failure of the Biden administration to do anything to stop a genocide , you can choose to see or not see whatever you like.
Hasan is a political commentator who reads and responds to the news outloud. And they do it in a way which most people under the age of 40 would do it, in a mocking, casual sometimes cynical view. And people can relate to that; they aren’t just reenforcing establishment views.
Here’s what its going to come down to: Hasan picked the winners. The canddiates they endorsed and supported, they made it through their primaries, and after making it through the primaries, they are winning their elections. They are more ideologically similar to Hasan and most of the people here, than you or other centrist/ rightwing politics. But more importantly, they picked winners, and supported them early when early support makes the difference. That makes them a king maker.
I mean no you are not. Centrism has lost every election where its been tried. You don’t represent anyone. Socialism/ Social Democracy is far more popular with voters.
How’s the genocides doing now?
Its your genocide bruh, you own it, so you tell me.
Registered voters are abandoning bOtH pArTiEs, now down to 28% each; independents are up to 44% of voters. That’s gone up like 5% since Biden was in office, mang
Pew research. You better call them and tell them that you disagree so that they can fix it!
“Worse” doesn’t mean that Biden didn’t kill a lot of innocent people and children. Also Biden has killed more Palestinians than Trump has. Not sure how he’s been worse.
The problem you’re missing IS that they ran the same campaign… and WHAT happened in between those two elections? What happened, say, early October 2023 and as a result of? I’ll let you figure that one out for yourself.
Harris would have won if she moved left of Biden, woman or not. It was very clear that’s what we needed and it’s very clear they ran away from you (the blue voter) in favor of Trump voters. Why you’d still fall for it years later is beyond me.
Does anyone else remember Tim Walz, governor of my great home state, who is on record saying he loves Isreal btw, told JD Vance in a debate about a “preemptive strike on Iran”? Because I do.
Hell, does anyone even remember during the state of the union Trump said he would invade Iran to “protect its sovereignty a after evil government killed a bajillion protesters” or something dumb like that and fucking ELIZABETH WARREN GAVE HIM A STANDING OVATION?!? because I remember.
People don’t see war and genocide in terms of “bad and worse” because that’s how children think and behave. Genocide is bad and genocidal democrats don’t deserve power because you think they’re a little bit better than the genocidal republicans.
Your view was the standard view in 2024/25, from corporate sources, and I think much of the population simply accepted that view, especially among liberals.
But you’ve lost. And no one believes you or your sources in corporate media. Its clear that your ideology is bankrupt, so people have abandoned you.
The hollowness and emptiness of your perspective is exactly why Hasan is ascendant, and you and your twins in corporate media are descendant.
Because he’s providing real political and moral leadership while the “leadership” internal to the Democratic party are cuckold failures.

Hasan isn’t doing anything important he’s literally just a twitch streamer.
He actually agrees with you, he’s just a twitch streamer who does political commentary and occasional activism when it aligns with his ideology. He would happily stay in his lane. But the democrats and republicans have turned him into a big deal and gone out of their way to slander him.
Did he switch to mostly political stuff now? Last I heard he was a “reaction” streamer that mostly stole others content.
He’s been a political commentator even before he became a streamer. He probably still reacts to content on the account that political commentary largely depends on reacting to interviews, news clips, articles etc. I’m sure he probably does non-political reactions, such as the recent H3H3 implosion, but as with political commentary he adds a lot of commentary ontop the content.

He’s suing Scott Jennings. That’s pretty important in my book.
Who is Scott Jennings? Another podcaster?

You’re giving way too much credit to that sexual extortionist.

It’s one small part of Hasan’s trajectory. You’re giving too much credit to Destiny.

We’re in a political community. I have to laugh at your lame ass jokes everywhere? Get over yourself.
Trump isn’t doing anything he’s literally just a face from TV
It’s hard having political discussions when this is the level of understanding people have.
You’re genuinely fucking stupid.
The irony…
They won’t understand it though
What do you agree the president of the us doesn’t make policy?
I like you, you’re a great poster here, but it’s wild to pretend that “just a steamer” means they’re unimportant nowadays. We’re not far from a streamer president in CURRENT YEAR, the amount of influence is incredible. I don’t like that fact, but hey, I gotta adapt.
It’s basically impossible to have a streamer president in 2026.
Maybe the democrats could have one in 2028 but why compete with the reality star republicans in a race to the bottom?
I think a race to the bottom is the only way in the US… shit, anything is better than the opposition they try to throw at the party of evil lawl

I’m not going to spend time researching a twitch streamer dude.
I don’t know who he is.
But if I do know who he is, he’s not very famous.
But if he is famous, he’s not doing anything newsworthy.
But if he is doing something newsworthy, it’s not very important.

Lots of words to put in my mouth.
My first comment was ‘who gives a shit about a twitch streamer’ so obviously I know a bit about him I’ve just never wasted time in my life watch any twitch streamer.
And I’m definitely not going to research them either.
Sorry, I forgot the last line:
And if I didn’t do any research, it’s because i already know I’m right and everyone else is wrong.
If you’re going to make up the rest why not that too?
That’s your opinion mang thats fine. And just like the failure of the Biden administration to do anything to stop a genocide , you can choose to see or not see whatever you like.

Lemmy hates centrists but we’re a better representation of the majority of the voters.
How’s the genocides doing now?
I know Biden supported Ukraine much more and I’m also thinking there was a reason why that cunt Netanyahu wanted Biden gone and Trump in.
So Harris is president?
I mean no you are not. Centrism has lost every election where its been tried. You don’t represent anyone. Socialism/ Social Democracy is far more popular with voters.
Its your genocide bruh, you own it, so you tell me.
Registered voters are abandoning bOtH pArTiEs, now down to 28% each; independents are up to 44% of voters. That’s gone up like 5% since Biden was in office, mang
Pew research. You better call them and tell them that you disagree so that they can fix it!
Independents are not centrists. That’s not how this works. Its not how any of this works.
You can’t expect Lemmy liberals to understand how the elections they live by to actually work.
It’s worked well when the candidates hasn’t been women because America, the democrats and leftists seem to have a big problem with women in power.
Just like how supporting a genocide handed the election to fascists, your blinders say more about you than they do about reality.
Nice pivot from the sexism found in the left.
Biden and Harris ran a very similar campaign and it was okay when Biden ran it but not when a woman did.
The genocides are all worse now.
“Worse” doesn’t mean that Biden didn’t kill a lot of innocent people and children. Also Biden has killed more Palestinians than Trump has. Not sure how he’s been worse.
The problem you’re missing IS that they ran the same campaign… and WHAT happened in between those two elections? What happened, say, early October 2023 and as a result of? I’ll let you figure that one out for yourself.

People were rightfully upset with Biden while he was in office. This is revisionism.
Your view was the standard view in 2024/25, from corporate sources, and I think much of the population simply accepted that view, especially among liberals.
But you’ve lost. And no one believes you or your sources in corporate media. Its clear that your ideology is bankrupt, so people have abandoned you.

I dislike Harris for many, many reasons and being a woman is not one of them.
That may be true but add people’s disdain for Clinton in there and a pattern emerges.
The pattern is AIPAC. Many of the people leveling these critiques against Harris or Clinton would support AOC running for president.
Harris and Clinton are really unlikeable people. Using Clinton is not a good example. She’s a war criminal.
He’s more important than you, you’re literally just a Lemmy poster, come on now
I don’t pretend to be anything but so I don’t know what that has to do with anything.
Sue Scott Jennings already maggoty. Shit or get off the pot.
He hasn’t defamed me.
Has that ever stopped you before?
I’ve been trying to figure out this comment for two hours now.
