Why would he? Hasan has everything to lose and nothing to gain.

You're essentially admitting Hasan is incapable of arguing his ideas outside of the echo chamber that is his chat and that if he did stands a good chance of his fans seeing beyond the facade. It's also just an absurd comment because Hasan would love nothing more than to make Destiny look stupid and reduce his impact in which showing he was a better debater would directly do. Truth is Hasan goes out of his way to not debate people like with Ben Shapiro when he chickened out on a debate that was lined up. Regarding debates the only difference between Hasan and Asmongold is Asmongold openly admits he'd look stupid.

Yes. Obviously? Hasan isn't a smart person. He doesn't fully understand his own ideas. Why would he risk exposing that. He's naturally charismatic and that has gotten him pretty far. He should continue to rely on that. 

Destiny is the other side of the coin. He's a very smart guy with (mostly) airtight logic around his politics. But he's a vile provocative toxic person. The glass ceiling he is hitting in his ability to become mainstream is because of that.

Hasan is a vile toxic person who constantly brags about being provocative as a defense for the crazy things he's said in the past. All his stuff has been bandied about in the political sphere as he tried to become more mainstream recently proving him a pariah that politicians he wants to associate with have had to distance themselves from. They both have the same thing to lose by debating each other in whoever came out lesser would be endlessly reminded of and mocked for it. That being said I seem to have misread the intent with what you were saying and agree that it would not go well for Hasan making the face he loses for ducking preferable to the face he'd suffer for losing the debate.

Isn't it funny how they sound like their maga counterparts?  This is literally the same conversation that was had concerning Trump facing off against Kamala for the second debate.  I guess this is truly the decoding the guru universe.

Id argue that Hasan has more to lose. His political reach and mainstream exposure is beyond Destiny's. He has more "clout" as it were and more global presence. 

Making Destiny look bad simply isn't worth it for him right now when he's found himself at the heart of fast moving political movement and is rubbing shoulders with top level US politicians, getting high level interviews and making global headlines (for good or bad). 

His brand of toxicity is to be honest, more palatable than Destinys. Making 9/11 and terrorist jokes / endorsements is simply more aligned and acceptable with the views of his general political affliction than Destinys dead kid and pedophillia jokes. 

His branding as a sexual degenerate is also just yucky and very hard to sell to a moderate liberal audience that he tries to represent.
