      It’s because what she’s doing works and inspires others. A whole generation in fact.

      She shows no signs of stopping either, and never takes the bait. She’s everything right in this world, and carries a simple and true message.

      Journalists, I think, pick someone they think will be easy to bully and stick to harassing that person regardless of whether they succumb to the pressure or not.

      Much like pathological bullies from high school

          ?? No.

          Hassan Piker is a knobhead and has done absolutely nothing for your cause. He is a negative impact.

          You win there by just admitting he is not a socialist and no longer being emotionally swayed by whatever shenanigans journalists are writing about him

            Tbf, I wouldn’t say he’s done nothing. He has a platform, and his messaging has been more leftist than nearly every other politician in the US.

            He’s not Lenin, but he’s not a random nobody either
