    platner is the second one; hasan piker would have been the first if he hadn’t done the same thing that greta thundberg did and spend too much time on palestine.

        he would have been one, like platner is now, if he didn’t piss off his handlers with too much attention to palestine, like thundberg did.

          Or, the fact that he pissed them off indicates he doesn’t have handlers.

          You can tell someone has handlers by the fact that they never say anything to piss them off - when someone acts outside of those limits, we can surmise it’s because they’re acting on their own. There’s literally no reason to believe he has handlers beyond your own cynicism.

            thundberg very famously had handlers and she’s just as out in the cold now as piker is now despite both being highly elevated by the dnc machine in the past.

              Being elevated in the past isn’t an indication of having handlers, it’s just an indication of being useful at the time.

              To be clear, are you saying that she had people telling her what to say and what not to say, before she said it? Because that’s what a handler does.

                the existence of her handler is so well known that you can literally type in “greta thundberg handler” into google and it’ll show you a picture and biography of who her handler was:

                the best part is that she insists that she’s not a handler for the democratic party despite having a resume that clearly is. lol
