Let me just start by saying I think “Hasan the Little Bitch” is an asshole. Now that we got that out of the way, I think you can guess how I feel about Democrats appearing on his show. I do not believe America deserved 9/11, I do not think the state of Israel should be disbanded, and I have no interest in this loser’s “outreach to masculinity.” There, all done.

Now that I’ve buried the point, let’s get to it- of course the Democrats are screwing up their handling of him. The electorate is locked in right now on things that matter to them- health insurance prices, gas prices, housing prices, personal debt, and things that impact them every day. 95% of the electorate doesn’t know who Piker is or care very much about his Gaza fetish. Even some of the 5% lack very deep thoughts on these matters. Piker has 3 million Twitch followers and 1.7 million YouTube followers, which combined together don’t quite reach 3% of a Presidential electorate, assuming there isn’t any overlap. Until people started arguing about him on Twitter, I had no idea who he was, and I’m in that 5%.

The fact that we are spending time on him is wasteful. The fact that we have elected Democrats seemingly coming out against him at the same time makes him look too important. We have spent much of the last decade doing this. Let’s be clear, Kamala Harris did not lose in 2024 because of leftist agitators or some coordinated effort to withhold votes from her. She lost because Democrats lacked standing and credibility with “normie” voters and let’s face it, she is a Black woman running in a country that has a racist and sexist undercurrent in it’s electorate, not to mention 5+ years of Republicans framing her as stupid, soulless, and extreme. It’s more comforting to blame extremists like Piker and Mamdani, and they don’t help, but it’s also a fictional story.

The only winner in this saga is Piker. He’ll grow his audience from the attention of being a martyr. He still won’t capture an audience large enough to be a true kingmaker of any kind, but let’s not let math get in the way. The correct response for *the party* is to simply ignore this vile loser. Nobody that believes we deserved 9/11 is going to vote for Democrats in 2026 or 2028. Let this man grift off of his audience in the relative obscurity he belongs in. We really don’t need our own Charlie Kirk.
