1. What problem does he have?

Cognitive dissonance?

[Archae]

4. Attention (bleep) syndrome.

"LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!"

[BuffaloJackalope]

6. A bad case of Jill Stein-itis

[Me.]

30. Misogyny

[dhol82]

36. Nah, there's more there.

[Me.]

42. Certainly A Big Part Of It

as they say, there's a pattern

[sheshe2]

41. I read...

I read he will be a great voice in Congress. One that we all need!

Misogyny be damned, Ahah men, amen, amen. Halleluiah.

[Me.]

43. A Great Voice For What Is The Question

we already have too many of those voices

[sheshe2]

52. You are so correct, Me.

Enough is enough.

[dhol82]

46. Ummmm, perhaps not?

[sheshe2]

66. Perhaps not what?

[sheshe2]

67. Never mind...

Got it.

80. Loonie prog purity pony

It’s the left’s version of deplorables. Think Susan Sarandon and that ilk who are more liberal-than-thou, and dumber than a sack of hair. They actually think the revolution is at hand if only everyone in the country will wake up and vote for Ralph Nader, Jill Stein, BS, or whatever other quasi-leftie loser in the making they support, even though no candidate has ever won the White House running further than moderate left. If they can’t get the perfect, pure candidate they prefer, then these monsters take their toys and go home. Never mind what will become of women, minorities, the environment, labor—you know, what REAL liberals care enough about to vote to keep traitor consetvafilth out of government? Oh, that’s compromising and thinking of the REAL greater good, and they can’t do that!

But they know everything better than those of us who have lived in such realities as running for office, or working on actual campaigns (not just knocking on doors or manning a phone bank), or, you know doing actual political science research like demographics or in academia.

Just ask them. They know everything better than the rest of us.

You know—your typical insufferable prats.

[madaboutharry]

2. Does he say this stuff for attention?

Or is he a nut?

I remember when he was on MSNBC and every now and again he would wander off into weirdoville and I would think "Is corporate watching this?"

[TheFarseer]

74. Saying it to promote Medicare for All

I think it’s really wrong to single out Nancy Pelosi. MFA has no where near enough support to pass Congress with or without her in Washington.

Edited to say that’s even if you accept his premise that MFA would save all those lives.

[greatauntoftriplets]

3. And some Democrats actually like him?

Has he called Spanky a murderer yet? Or do the Kurds not matter to Sunk?

[Brother Buzz]

27. Here's a list of California Democrats that are not liking him

Here's an impressive list of endorsements for Christy Smith in California's 25th congressional special election, a race Cenk Uygur unwisely entered.

Mind you, this is only a partial list

[sheshe2]

51. I love this.

What an impressive list of endorsements. Dayum you could not have any better. What a list for Christy Smith! Looks like congress, senate and assembly peeps are out in full force and has her back.

You go girl!

Cenk has Bernie, Nina, and Bri.

[greatauntoftriplets]

61. Good for them!

I imagine that members like Eric Swalwell, Katie Porter, and Jackie Speier will add their names to that list soon.

[Brother Buzz]

62. I should think so

FWIW Nancy Pelosi was a late addition. She wasn't on my cut and paste list, but she's listed now.

[greatauntoftriplets]

73. I had thought that she might be not saying anything.

Similarly to the way she usually doesn't vote. So, good for her!

[sheshe2]

54. "Sunk"

[Zeus69]

5. Bernie's a fan

... or was

[DURHAM D]

7. So is Yang. nt

[dhol82]

8. Unfortunate.

[Thekaspervote]

87. Yes... very unfortunate!,

[ChubbyStar]

17. Wow 10 posts in and bashing a Dem candidate

This should be interesting!

[Zeus69]

28. Not really

My opinions have been formed long before I found this forum (again).
I’m not about a “revolution”

[rufus dog]

48. Bernie should quit supporting Russian agents

And this comes from someone who voted for his ass in 2016.

I may have been stupid, but I ain't fucking ignorant.

[ChubbyStar]

56. Good luck with the 49ers!

[Hekate]

63. Did he or did he not endorse Cenk? If Bernie did, this is in no way "bashing" to say so. Is it?

Hm?

[ChubbyStar]

64. Hm?

[Aquaria]

86. Stating facts is not bashing

And he’s no Dem.

He’s using the party to fluff his own ego and ambition because he knows he’d get exactly nowhere running as what he’s always been, an independent.

[Me.]

32. That Says More About BS Than CU

[sheshe2]

55. Bernie endorsed him.

He is a fan.

Cenk let him off the hook by saying he wasn't accepting endorsements after tweeting about the endorsement. Bernie never took back the endorsement. He just let it ride.

[Aquaria]

81. Of course he is.

He’s cut from the same loonie purity pony cloth.

With the misogyny and the penchant for delusional thinking common to the breed.

[Gothmog]

9. Cenk is going to lose votes in California

This is a special election and I doubt that this will help Cenk

[Blue_true]

19. It is also the California primary. Will be interesting. nt

[Gothmog]

21. This is a jungle primary

Cenk, Christy Smith (the real democrat) and a couple GOP types will be running and the top two will go the general election for the general election.

[Blue_true]

24. True. But it is being run on the same day as the California primary. nt

[Brother Buzz]

45. And there's a good chance he'll come in third, or even fourth

He won't be on the ballot in November.

[Blue_true]

47. As long as Christy Smith is in the top two, I don't care how much farther down

Cenk finishes. He has shown himself to be an asshole, IMO.

[oasis]

29. Consider Cenk sunk.

[Gothmog]

38. Nancy Pelosi is one of the most popular politicians in California

I understand the Just Us Democrats may primary Nancy Pelosi. That will be amusing

[sprinkleeninow]

53. Sink Cenk. eom

[evertonfc]

10. Cenk has

always been crazier than a shit house rat. He is a loathsome human being and self promoter.

[Hav]

11. Is that the typical nonsense of

several workers that work in industrial branch x make legal contributions and the conclusion is that politician y got money directly from industrial branch x?
If this is the case yet again, is he that stupid or does he believe that his base is so stupid to believe that?

[Blue_true]

22. A lot of his base believe him.

Biden, Hillary and others have been accused of fossil fuel sympathy because they got small donations from everyday workers in those industries.

[Thomas Hurt]

12. Ah con logic at its finest

[RandySF]

13. Cenk can go fuck himself.

please.

[pnwmom]

26. No, it isn't. He's essentially calling her a murderer. nt

[elleng]

33. Bad interpretation, imo,

'Matt Bevin appears to have taken a bribe to release a murderer. But I don't know why the FBI is investigating. These bribes are perfectly legal in America. They're called campaign contributions. When Nancy Pelosi took bribes from insurance companies and 45,000 people died ...' is quite a stretch.

[pnwmom]

44. He's falsely linking her to the deaths of 45K people. n/t

[TwilightZone]

31. I'd have to disagree.

The implication seems pretty clear.

[elleng]

34. It is MERELY implied, NOTHING MORE.

[OnDoutside]

78. How about some etiquette and add "please" ? No one reacts well

to shouty demands, to be fair.

[elleng]

79. You are right about that; thanks.

[OnDoutside]

84. No worries.

[apcalc]

16. Loser

[Blue_true]

18. That asshole just can't help himself. nt

[Gidney N Cloyd]

20. Fuck Cenk.

[UniteFightBack]

23. So he attacks Nancy Pelosi huh????? She's the enemy???? Just disgusting. We cannot allow these

people to take over the Democratic party like the wackafuckindo's did on the right.

NO - not gonna be able to DO.

[uponit7771]

25. He overvalues his own opinion and accuracy of thought

[Maru Kitteh]

35. That ugly scum-sucker really hates women

Especially those with power and intelligence.

65. exactly sheshe. Thanks

[dlk]

50. Once a misogynist...

[DinahMoeHum]

58. He can say bye-bye to any chance of doing well in the primary.

The fact that he is also an Armenian genocide denier is another strike against him in that part of California.

How his co-producer Ana Kasparian puts up with him is beyond me.

[StevieM]

70. I don't care for Cenk but, to be fair, he does not deny the Armenian genocide.

He did when he was much younger, but he acknowledged that he was wrong many years ago.

[Brother Buzz]

75. Then why in the Hell did he name his show after the Armenian genocide perpetrators?

That has always been troubling for me.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Young_Turks#Nationalism

[bronxiteforever]

76. +1000

[StevieM]

77. You certainly have the right to take that position on the name "the Young Turks."

I think some people feel that the phrase has a long history of being used in multiple contexts at this point, beyond who it initially referred to. But you can reject that position and criticize Cenk for taking that name for his show.

I am simply pointing out that Cenk has long since retracted his questioning of the Armenian genocide and has repeatedly stated that it did happen.

[Brother Buzz]

83. Indeed, people can change, and nudge nudge wink wink, he's no longer a member of...

The He-Man Woman-Haters Club

[StevieM]

89. Again, I am not a fan of Cenk Uygur.

I am simply pointing out that his reversal of his position on the Armenian genocide is long-standing and well-documented.

[Brother Buzz]

91. Understood, but this Christy Smith supporter can't resist the opportunity to take a jab at him

No harm, no foul.

[Lexee]

59. This would be who Sanders supports.

[ChubbyStar]

60. So?

The post is about Cenk. Welcome to DU....

[Recursion]

69. This is why Twitter and Facebook are pointless

Somebody who disagrees with you about methods of financing is not actually trying to kill your family any more than you are trying to kill there's, but the need to sound more and more extreme to get attention means that's how we end up talking.

[Gothmog]

71. Republicans attacking Nancy Pelosi did not work in the mid terms

Link to tweet

[Mc Mike]

72. Too bad Cenk never found the time to say anything about his flunky Jimmy Dore

when Dore endorsed tRump.

I stopped watching him in '16, after I saw he had no intention of bringing Dore's blatant stupid fascism up.

[aikoaiko]

82. Where's the part where Cenk called Pelosi a murderer?

[Initech]

85. He might as well just put on a MAGA hat and get it over with.

[milestogo]

88. He should SHUT THE FUCK UP.

[manhattan123]

92. Wonkette tore him a new one on this...

https://www.wonkette.com/hey-remember-when-nancy-pelosi-killed-45-000-americans-by-passing-obamacare


Excerpt: "Also, if you want to get technical about it, that "45,000 people died" is from a 2009 American Journal of Public Health study which estimated that "Lack of health insurance is associated with as many as 44,789 deaths [annually] in the United States, more than those caused by kidney disease."

But here's a thing worth noting: The ACA greatly expanded the number of people in the US with health coverage, cutting the percentage of Californians without insurance in half, for instance, from 22 percent in September 2013 to 11 percent by June 2014. And if the Roberts Court hadn't given states the ability to opt out of Medicaid expansion, the number of people with no coverage at all would be even smaller.

Remember when Donald Trump was trying to repeal Obamacare and all those people came forward to talk about how it saved their lives? Joke's on them, because Cenk Uygur says they're actually dead. America really needs somebody with such sharp analytical skills in Congress."

[Hekate]

93. Hurray for Wonkette

[DURHAM D]

94. Thanks for posting. nt
