He's a hotheaded bully who thinks he's better than everyone else, and he still talks about progressives like they're beneath him as well and sees them as spoiled, irrational toddlers.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

“Obviously, the genes of women are flawed,” Uygur wrote in a 1999 post lamenting the inadequate amount of sex he was having while living in Miami, Florida. “They are poorly designed creatures who do not want to have sex nearly as often as needed for the human race to get along peaceably and fruitfully.”

In a 2002 entry in which Uygur described the “rules of dating,” he specified that “there must be orgasm by the fifth date.” And in a 2003 column, he described drunken revelry at Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he “kissed over 23 different women, saw and felt countless breasts.”

In addition, a 2004 post by Koller described teenage girls that he and Uygur met near a gas station in Pennsylvania as “whores in training, literally looking for boys to pick them up.”

Here's a charming recount of Cenk pretty much admitting to being a rapey guy who has, you know, raped.

“It sucks that sex is so complicated,” he wrote in another post from 2000. “Wouldn’t it be great if we could just act on these urges and then just let it go without being uncomfortable? Actually, I have done this a decent amount of times in the past, but women seem to have more problems with this.”

Uygur’s blog profile went futher, promising that the site would “soon showcase such lovely features as pictures of the young virginal interns who work with us on the show.”

Folks have gone all in on Joy for homophobia.

This piece of shit is cancelled.

Once a misogynist always a misogynist and he does a great disservice to Senator Sanders by flapping his ugly jaw.

Establishment attacks against Sanders hurts Warren with progressives as it makes them want to jump to Bernie's defense, making it appear he is the one the powerful actually fear. Don't get it.

I only want to jump to people's defense when attacks against them are false. In that thread the things said about Warren are:

She copied Bernie's policies, riding on his coattails
She's not for Medicare-for-all, therefore not a progressive
Was a Republican and therefore still one
Said she's a capitalist to her bones: not a progressive
Has not come out to defend Bernie/didn't endorse him last time: not a progressive
Is for American imperialism (only a matter of time until this turns into the old war horse "warmonger" )
Said she will take PAC money in the general and therefore for sale
Will be just like the corporatist Obama and in the pocket of banks and oligarchs
Like Obama she will be a centrist as president: not a progressive

Evidently, those attacks are okay!

What is all this talk of fear and being terrified? Are the oligarchy/establishment/1%/our billionaire corporate overlords a bunch of scaredy cats with low self-confidence who jump at every shadow? Doesn't sound very powerful to me.

Who is the candidate fundraising by trying to scare people about "Wall Street Democrats" and the "establishment" with things like:

"The political, financial, and media elite of this country will stop at nothing to defeat us. You know that. ... Our agenda terrifies the political and financial establishment of this country. ... Make a $3 donation to our campaign to help us fight back and send a message that we will NOT let the political and financial elite of this country buy the election and scare candidates from supporting a progressive agenda."

primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Posts like that crack me up!

Who says?! There's more than one way to get people the health care they need.. not everyone cares for MCA.

We've been accused of being "nervous", too.. and, of course, the dreaded plotting canapés!
