Federal NDP leader Jagmeet Singh is one of the most recent examples of leftwing politicians to embrace streaming video games online to shore up their popularity. On Wednesday night Singh invited his fans to join him playing the viral multiplayer video game, Among Us on the streaming platform, Twitch. Singh also invited popular communist Twitch streamer Hasan Piker.

Piker is notorious for his politically-charged rants. In 2019 he received an immense amount of blowback after making comments that America deserved 9/11. He also went on to disparage American troops and attacked Dan Crenshaw, mocking him for the loss of his eye.
Piker, in the aftermath, went on his uncle’s media network The Young Turks, where he worked at the time, where he proceeded to not apologize for his actions and make excuses for his statements, such as claiming that English is not his first language, despite having never shown to have had any problems speaking perfect neutrally-accented English in the past.
The situation raises a number of questions. Of all the leftwing personalities online, why would someone as prominent as Jagmeet Singh choose to share the spotlight with someone as controversial as Hasan Piker? Moreover, why have so many leftwing politicians turned to gimmicks like live-streaming video games to try an obtain social relevance.
Soooo many mischaracterizations in this "article". You’re either willfully ignorant, or purposefully misleading the reader. Either way, this should have stayed in the drafts.
Question to James: Why don’t you tell us then what are the mischaracterization of Singh? I bet you cannot point out even one as all the info here is true
Bro the clip is so funny yall should watch it
