(36,218 posts)He can go screw himself. Doing right or wrong he can fuck off. Truly. Can you see I detest him and his ilk.
He/They are a reason for trump.

boston bean
(36,218 posts)Anyone who claims to be a progressive bashing Biden while saying they will reluctantly vote for him, deserves what? A gold star?
Bunch of stupid idiots. If they dont know what to do to prevent trump and need someone to cajole them, they are useless.
I could give a shit less what he says.
You should to.

(3,974 posts)It is a shame you can't see past your hate for the man to give him credit for doing the right thing.
boston bean
(36,218 posts)That man is a not a friend to joe Biden, the Democratic Party, hes a Russian tool. Propagandist.
I refuse to let him have any power over democratic policies or politics by giving credence to anything he says or does.
He can take his progressive marbles and shove them where the sun dont shine.
Tired of being held hostage by the like of him. Do the right thing and keep your criticisms of Biden to yourself.
He really is a pos. Sorry, he really is.

The Magistrate
(95,241 posts)This fellow is one of them. He put in too much work trying to rouse left idiots against Mr. Biden to be taken seriously, and his method, basically saying Mr. Biden is an ass who oughtn't to be the nominee, is not going to move the people whose minds he worked long and hard to poison.
In short --- fuck this dude. Twice.

(29,322 posts)I don't like him because of his bankruptcy bill and he was wrong about the Iraq war every step of the way.
I just wish the Democrats nominated Cory Booker, Kamala Harris, or anyone that was a more impressive candidate than Biden.
The Magistrate
(95,241 posts)The 'Iraq War' thing is pointless flummery, but the bankruptcy bill is a serious thing, and so is his colossal mis-handing of Thomas and Ms. Hill.
I defend the Democratic nominee against the cheap thug squatting in the Oval Office, and at present do not give the north end of a southbound rat for anything he may have done previously.
It is an appallingly simple calculation.
Anyone who votes for Trump, anyone who has ever done anything to aid Trump in any way, is a traitor and an asshole.
Anyone who does not vote for the nominee of the Democratic Party for President, or acts in any way to discourage people voting for the Democratic nominee, for whatever reason or in whatever cause, is an asshole and a traitor.
Choose a side, and stick by it.

'Folks, i was wrong. About Hillary, and about Biden. I was an ass and I did real harm to good people and to the country. So if you ever took me seriously, for fuck's sake don't. Stop listening to my bullshit from years, months, even just a few days ago. Sober up, and fucking vote for Biden. That's it. Just vote for Biden and every other fucking Democrat on your ballot.'
Or words readily recognizable to that effect....

What do you care?
Listen, people are either gonna vote against trump or they are not. If they cant figure out on their own without the added bashing of Biden, they are useless, dumb, idiots, dangerous.
What more do you want me to tell you?

(3,974 posts)still don't understand how that is a bad thing.
boston bean
(36,218 posts)He can do whatever he likes but I dont accept him as either a democrat or a progressive.
He bashes Biden with this ridiculous lesser of two evils bullshit.
I give him no quarter. Again if people cant find a reason for just voting Trumpass out as enough of a reason and stop the attacks and their unhappiness for not getting their freaking cookie. They can go to hell.
I really could give a shit less about this mans opinion. Got it?
Dem4Life1102
(3,974 posts)or you wouldn't have made so many posts about him. I just don't understand why you think urging people to vote for Biden is a bad thing.
boston bean
(36,218 posts)I am telling you this means nothing. And that he is a pos and he should have no followers. He is not a democrat. he is an attack dog against democrats.
So, there you have it. Anything else?
Dem4Life1102
(3,974 posts)People that don't care don't respond so many times. Sounds more like someone is triggered.

(36,218 posts)Who cares what he says.
Again I dont give a fuck. Not sure why you keep coming back to me.
But you know something. Its my mother n laws 85 th birthday. Her family made a beautiful video for her. Made me cry cause my mom just died. Go play with some one else.

(9,317 posts)He cant suddenly say, Joe Biden is actually way more progressive than Bernie. Hes really our ideal candidate. I wouldnt change a single thing in his platform.
Theres NO Advantage to voting Trump and dont try to convince yourself youre playing 4 dimensional chess by shitting on our allies is a credible message to TYT audience.
Hav
(5,969 posts)asking for the endgame of those "progressives" who'd rather see Trump win. That's an important question to think about for everyone who claims to care about universal healthcare, student debt or climate change, for example.
But Cenk is still a major ahole and his propaganda network isn't better than Fox, it may have even with less standards.
And concerning attacks on Biden, he and his other clowns on the TYT were pushing the Biden is senile smear again and again. They themselves are a reason for why their fans despise Democrats. They fueled that hatred.
Just with the Never Trumpers, I take any help to get rid of Trump but normally I'd say that TYT should just fuck off.

(5,969 posts)who do their best to help Biden, will vote for him and who encourage others to vote for him in comparison to self-proclaimed "progressives" who call Biden senile and a rapist and who'd love to see Trump get another term. Easy choice.
Your problem shouldn't be with Democrats or Never Trumpers who prefer to see Biden win. We can distinguish between good progressive policies that are more likely to be implemented under Biden and some aholes who pretend they care about those policies but who are ok with the worst President ever who actively fights against these ideas.

(3,974 posts)The Magistrate
(95,241 posts)And a number of people who call themselves 'progressives' are not just not helping, but actively trying to do harm. Even most people well to the left of center are sick and tired of it. So-called 'progressives' will be preferred when they stop acting like the left auxiliary of the Republican party.

(92 posts)Are doing more harm to the VP than helping him. The Democratic Party is known for its Big Tent, but it appears that message is being squashed by some. A vote for Biden counts the same regardless of the political persuasions of those who cast them. And, dont blame Cenk for 2016, he voted for HRC.

(2,406 posts)Okay, so Cenk isn't a complete tool. But so what? Does he deserve a cookie for that?
No, screw him.
He didn't get credit for begrudgingly casting a vote for Biden. His comments don't really help, but his silence might.

(7,947 posts)I was mostly for Warren, but I'm coming to think that Biden is inoffensive enough to win, and experienced enough to hire a bunch of great aides and cabinet secretaries, and smart enough to take their advice.
He might be the best man for the job.
Man, that is.
NanceGreggs

to a Cenk show that aired right after it was clear that Biden would be the nominee and Cenk immediately jumped on the Joe has dementia bandwagon.
He stated that we wouldnt be seeing much of Joe anymore, because the Dems had to keep him under wraps so no one would see his obvious mental incapacity between now and November.
I never followed up to hear Cenks explanation for the fact that Joe was on one TV show after another in the weeks that followed.
So Cenk is going to fight to make Joe more progressive, and hes going to help primary him in 2024? Does Cenk really think Joe, or anyone else, is interested in what he has to say about anything?
DFW
(54,275 posts)Cenk is going to fight, is he? With what? A dwindling media presence with failing finances? Firearms and explosives? Posters in front of the White House east entrance? Martial arts demonstrations?
And he is going to help primary an incumbent president who in all likelihood has no intention of running for a second term in the first place? Yeah, right, does anyone think that THAT kind of statement will REALLY make Joe Biden quake with fear and invite Cenk to his next policy staff meeting?
The problem with people thinking they are the center of the universe is that most of them are mistaken.
betsuni
(25,374 posts)He and Michael Moore spend most of their time telling their audience that Democrats aren't progressive, rigging and plotting corrupt corporatists who ignore the working and middle class, the true roadblock to progressive policy and on and on. Then it comes time to vote and they are surprised that their "progressive" followers don't want to vote for the Democrat. It's like raising a child to be selfish and ignorant and being shocked that they turn out to be a selfish and ignorant adult.
