Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur 3h Can everyone please stop the dumb “from the river to the sea” chant? It is incredibly hurtful to our Jewish brothers and sisters. It’s also incredibly counterproductive to protecting Palestinians. Do not chant something that majority thinks is call for genocide. Not complicated. Dec 11, 2023 · 11:09 PM UTC

      That shit was pathetic. It would have been smarter for him to go more local and run for a spot on a school board or the LA city council. Probably would have had more success too if his enormous ego didn’t get in the way.

        It’s literally the stereotype of somebody wasting their time on electoralism.

        Let’s start a campaign for president where I get less than 1% of the vote instead of doing anything that literally anyone could argue might have some potential value.

      I guess that’s what happens when you don’t get the Armenian vote because you don’t think their genocide was real either.

      Imagine getting dominated that badly and thinking “yeah I definitely have a deep understanding of politics and my fellow americans” instead of just stepping back from bloviating and retiring

          Hasan said on the latest Patreon episode of Fear& that no one (Cenk and the family) thinks he is going to win and that the point of him running is that, if he gains any traction at all, Democrats are going to have to admit they need to replace Biden with someone else.

            There’s half a dozen other candidates who would already prove that and they’re all left of this dumbass.

            If he somehow found a genie in abotlle and started polling above 10% he’d start telling his followers that they need to drop it get serious and start supportung Biden.

            Exactly like he did on the verge of crocodile tears with Hillary in 2016.

            Isn’t that basically why Marianne Williamson is running? She’s polling way higher than Cenk ever would and the media are happy to pretend she’s not running.

            Imagine being such a bootlicking loser that the only reason you spend tons of money running for president is so that ‘your’ party maybe concedes that their candidate sucks.

            And replace Biden with what, exactly? Some other hollowed out husk of a human that has 97% of the same views Biden does?

            Joe Biden is a liberal, maybe THE liberal; he IS ‘your team’.
