Like there’s a few others that average a thousand viewers, but realistically they have no power or influence; whereas Hasan has actually helped elect people and has fundraised more than most other independent campaigns.
Yeah, he could be more left wing, and yeah being just a step on the left wing pipe line is annoying, but he has more influence among under 35’s than any and all cable and network news hosts.
