Piker is in a mood after Saikat lost the primary and went on a rant about rich liberals who just want gay fascism. The NY Post is first on the story but it was on his YouTube show. I guess hes washed his hands of San Francisco politics.

He wasn't worthy of the job in the first place.
Sore loser.

Southern California-based Hasan Piker, the communist darling of left-wing livestreaming, resorted to gay insults Tuesday night after being upset his "friend" lost to a gay state senator.
That friend, San Francisco congressional candidate Saikat Chakrabarti, was completely bombed out of Tuesday's primary race to succeed former Speaker Nancy Pelosi despite spending $10 million of his own wealth.
As of Wednesday morning, the former aide to socialist Congresswoman Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez received just 15% of the vote count with half of the votes in.
That's far behind Democrats state Sen. Scott Wiener, who is the frontrunner at 41%, and Pelosi-endorsed city supervisor Connie Chan at around 29%. Scott and Chan will advance to the November general election.

Somehow, the entire political environment became insincere. Its basically just 4chan.
I dont know why people like him. Hes insufferable.

He isn't where we should be going and fortunately his endorsements generally didn't win.

(1,991 posts)7. It's a not-so-subtle commentary about those who endorsed him, is it?

Hope is a good thing.
