Tonk @brittonk.bsky.social · 01/10/2026“No one has ever heard of Hasan Piker” is at this point a shibboleth for people who are proud of not caring what people under 40 think or consume.

Voters have never been expected to supply policy proposals, solve legal knots, or draft plans for executive action. We elect people we expect to do this for us and sometimes we even become upset when they don’t. 100
