The Democratic Party has a Hasan Piker problem, and it's getting worse, not better. And with every appearance, he deepens a rift inside the party that costs Democrats more than it gains them. And every cycle, they will ask Democratic candidates: Do you agree with Hasan Piker or don't you? Democratic candidates can engage with young progressives and online communities without making Hasan Piker their surrogate. The counter-argument, that rejecting Piker abandons the left and pushes young voters away, misses the point.
