Progressive Victory (PV) is a political action committee (PAC) that is focused on trying to combine online activists, creators and volunteers with more mainstream political movements.
Destiny worked with Sejin and various others to set up and fund deep canvassing efforts across the US for the 2024 political season.
Destiny responds to Hasan's FEC filing coverage of Progressive Victory
On September 2, 2025, Hasan Piker reacted on stream to a BadEmpanada video covering publicly available FEC disbursement filings from Progressive Victory PAC. In the Video, personally identifiable information (addresses/full legal names) of several individual who had received payments from PV at the time was shown. Several of the individuals who's information were revealed were smaller streamers and friends of Destiny. Upon hearing this, Hasan concludes that the PAC itself must have been a slush fund for Destiny and his friends.[1]
On September 4, 2025, Destiny responded on his own stream, taking great issue with the brazen manner in which Hasan chose to reveal the personally identifiable information of individuals who had assisted PV. Destiny begins by rejecting Hasan's claim that PV was a front for any nefarious financial arrangement, pointing out that 527 PACs would be a poor method for funneling money "discreetly" since the law requires them to publicly file the very same disclosures Hasan was reading from on stream. [2] Destiny goes on to state that his involvement with PV was solely in promoting campaigns and fundraising.[3] Repeatedly throughout the stream, Destiny floats the idea of pursuing a defamation case against Hasan.[4]
Reaction Timestamps
0:56 Destiny points out that Hasan has the full dox of every single person that attended Progressive Victory on his screen, and that there's no reason for Hasan to present this.
1:34 Bad Empanada points to PV payments to small streamers in Destiny's orbit as suspicious given their lack of platform reach. Hasan agrees and points to Destiny's alleged chef, Lycan, even receiving payments. Hasan goes on to accusing the PAC of being a slush fund for Destiny's friends. Destiny pauses the video and points out that Lycan was not paid for services relating to being a chef, but rather his contributions towards the PAC.
3:20 Destiny pulls up a clip from PV founder, Sam Dryzmala, discussing how much money was raised by DGG and what it was used for.
4:24 BadEmpanada goes through the list of people tied to PV and proceeds to read out their names. Hasan pauses at one point so the dox of one of the individuals remains on screen. Destiny, irate at this point, scolds Hasan for allowing this personally identifying information to remain on his screen.
6:47 Destiny argues Hasan and his audience aren't actually doing politics but playing "social club games", and treating political commentary as an aesthetic for social signaling rather than a serious effort to win elections. Destiny goes on to draw a crude analogy to someone shitting on a chessboard.
7:41 Hasan questions if Progressive victory was set up with honest intentions from the start, and once again implies the PAC may have been a slush fund. Destiny pauses the video and criticizes Hasan for alleging "some grand conspiracy here", and points out he was never paid by PV. Destiny argues this is doxing enabled by the very public-disclosure requirements Hasan claims are "designed to hide" PV's activities, and floats pursuing a defamation case.
9:21 Hasan states that while he was invited, he had no intention of assisting the PAC due to the work they perform with such unsavory characters such as Destiny. Destiny pauses the video and retorts that Hasan most likely chose not to assist the PAC for compensation reasons, and would likely never wish to work alongside liberal content creators.
11:26 Hasan points out the video they are watching is not relevant to a more pertinent article they were discussing on his stream earlier. Destiny pauses the video and points to this as Hasan just seeking an avenue to dox his friends. The video continues and Hasan alleges he noticed some "suspicious things" going on when he opened up a PV stream. Destiny pauses the video once-more and derides Hasan for attempting to claim the title of an "investigator".
12:32 Destiny reads a message from a streamer in his chat, Gremloe. Destiny points out that this individual threatened to harm him and was never punished by Twitch.
14:01 Hasan questions the decision of the Unfuck America tour to invite Destiny to their events. Destiny points out that two of the content creators associated with the event quit, and Destiny offered to help, and that Hasan likely knows this.
15:41 Hasan reiterates that the PAC was designed to hide the nefarious activities Destiny had participated in. Destiny counters that 527 PACs are legally required to file publicly with the FEC, and that this is the very reason Hasan is able to read the doxxes of all his orbiters on stream(making any attempts to hide inconsistent with Hasan's logic).
16:39 Hasan accuses Destiny of creating Progressive Victory. Destiny retorts that there are public filings available, and finds the leadership of PV with a simple google search.
18:33 Hasan reads a message accusing PV of having a "shadow investor". Destiny question that if PV had a shadow investor why he needed to door knock for fundraising.
20:05 BadEmpanada alludes to PV potentially laundering the money associated with the campaign. Destiny argues if the participants of the PAC wanted to launder money, a publicly filing organization would be the last place to do so.
23:20 Hasan claims Destiny's goal is to ruin every PAC by tying his name to it. Destiny pauses the video and responds that his name is not on any of the filings. Hasan goes on to state that he will never respect a PAC tied to Destiny, claiming they are not aware of "what works". Destiny points to the irony of Hasan saying as such while watching a BadEmpanada video.
27:30 Hasan claims the reason PV would like to work with him is so they can gain legitimacy outside of being a slush-fund for a "debate pervert".
28:08 Hasan reads off yet another individual's name.
28:59 Hasan claims he did not work with PV as a the relationshiop should be defined by ideologically commitment which he believes PV has not shown. Destiny pauses and points to earlier in the video where Hasan stated he did not wish to work with PV because of Destiny.

31:40 Hasan reads a message from a chatter claiming several of the content creators in PV were "silent on Gaza", and agrees.
32:35 Destiny points to the hilarity in BadEmpanada claiming Lycan was paid to spread Zionist propaganda, given Lycan is staunchly opposed to Israel.
34:18 After Hasan claims that several of the content creators associated with PV wish to support Israel or the "zionist project", Destiny identifies several content creators who simply wanted to assist the PAC and had no major opinions regarding Israel(e.g. Turkey Tom, Willy Mac).
35:07 Hasan claims once more that the PAC was a slush fund for Destiny's friends.
35:54 Destiny offers to pay someone to scrub Hasan's vod and help him file a defamatory suit.
37:58 Hasan reads a portion of an article claiming names of donors to campaigns like Chorus typically aren't revealed. Destiny pauses the video and exclaims "Hmmm so that's so they're not doxxed!"
42:03 Hasan claims that one can't be a "hired gun" if they wish to make a career out of politics. Destiny pauses and points to the irony of Hasan saying such when he started his career with The Young Turks.
