As far as we know, no one — except, perhaps, for Mehdi Hasan — has ever accused Mehdi Hasan of being too brilliant.
And it seems pretty safe to say that Hasan is not at risk of that happening anytime soon.
Check out his pre-emptive explanation for the Democratic Party bloodbath in November:
If (when?) the Dems get hammered in November in the midterms, the number 1 reason will not be the left, or the economy, or Joe Biden, or Joe Biden’s chief of staff, or mask mandates. It’ll be two Democratic senators called Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. We all know this.

Who’s “we,” Mehdi?
It can’t be said any clearer or simpler than this 👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽 https://t.co/aAYnnnGzy4

Mehdi’s tweet is certainly clear and simple. It’s also impressively stupid. Just phenomenally, unapologetically stupid.
Lots of conservatives angry at this tweet on Joe Manchin’s behalf. This isn’t about left or right, normal people don’t vote like that. It’s about delivery. Democrats haven’t delivered on bulk of their agenda not because of progressives but because of… Manchin and Sinema.

Conservatives aren’t so much angry as they are amused. Amused that Mehdi Hasan could be so consistently, reliably wrong.
And now we’re amused because he’s chosen to double down on being wrong. It’s genuinely hilarious.
“am i out of touch?…no, it is joe manchin and kyrsten sinema that are wrong.” https://t.co/q9s7j8xg5a

If that were true then the voters democrats lose would be gained by progressive candidates, not republican ones lol. How does this even work in your head?

polls have shown voters think Ds are prioritizing the wrong things but perhaps polls are wrong and you are right (unlikely) https://t.co/cWbvgmyaUu

Funny.
He doesn't see the actual number 1 reason why Dems will lose in Novemeber is the mentality that produces this type of tweet. https://t.co/T7YVq32xKM

Someone actually pays this man for his thoughts.
I wonder if they can use this tweet to get a refund. https://t.co/LNFRGOAeVs
