1. The background music is phenomenal...

Uggh. Those two.

[Blue_true]

18. It sounded funereal, at least to me. nt

[hlthe2b]

19. yes... that, I think was the point...

[marble falls]

2. Its all over but the wailing and the gnashing of teeth ...

The branding TYT is really interested in is TYT.

[thegoose]

3. I thought we already kicked his worthless ass out

[JeaneRaye]

22. Worthless?!

That sounds like something a Republican would say! He may not have been your choice, but he's NOT worthless! Donald Trump is worthless. Bernie Sanders is NOT.

[thegoose]

27. Not talking about Sanders

Bu thank yo for playing.

[Stand and Fight]

28. Hmmm... Did you consider the poster may have been talking about Cenk??

[BlueLucy]

4. That was great!

[Kahuna]

8. I know,right. Quite satisfying....

[GeorgiaPeanut]

5. The pain and angst in Cenk's beady eyes is priceless

[Cha]

47. lol.. cenk got some reality in his face when

he lost the CA25 primary to Christy Smith, too..

[William769]

6. who was he talking to?

I swear she has to have a DU account.

[George II]

10. That's Ana Kasperan (not sure of the spelling), his studio co-host on some shows....

She is one bizarre woman!

[William769]

13. Thanks.

[BidenBacker]

16. Had to look her up...Ana Kasparian

This is one of the links I found in reference to her...

https://legacy.tyt.com/2015/01/09/tyt-university-reborn-think-tank/

Are there any Sanders supporters whose IQ is higher than their age???

Okie dokie, way too much time wasted on this one already.

[Paka]

25. I happen to know for a fact that my IQ is higher than my age.

And I'm pretty old. When I was in elementary school they called my mother because I had the highest IQ in the school and wanted to be sure she was serious about my education in view of that.

By the way, that link does not show Ana Kasparian, but rather John Iadarola and Hannah Cranston. Hannah is no longer with TYT.

Whatever...

[oldsoftie]

26. Lighten up, Francis.

[Paka]

37. As high as my IQ may be...

it's not high enough to decode that sarcastic comment.

[SidDithers]

39. Then you must be pretty young...

it's a quote from Stripes, the Bill Murray / Harold Ramis movie from 1981.

Sid

[Ferrets are Cool]

40. +1

[Paka]

43. Not young at all. Older than Senator Sanders.

I just happened to be out of touch with popular entertainment in the '80's as I was doing epidemiology work in Africa during those years. Thank you for the clue.

[Hortensis]

56. Paka, I don't understand how someone who did epidemiology

work in Africa would support Sanders. Surely that was very practical work -- people who did real work on the ground measuring progress by real tasks checked off and real, hopefully worthwhile, results obtained?

Would you really put Sanders in charge of whatever you were doing there and have him spend 28 years effectively doing nothing and then, when he saw different opportunity, pivot to planning a popular uprising as a way to enable work he can't define in detail before even beginning it? And if that didn't happen?

What about the work?

Even if I was fine with giving great power to a man of his character, after that I really would expect him to be able to do the job and I would expect him to do it. I just don't get why intelligent and presumably caring people would knowingly choose to back a proven lifelong nonperformer. What about the work to be done?

Seriously. After 28 years of not really trying to control disease, just mostly talking about it and burning up his energy complaining about other epidemiologists, wouldn't you pass on Sanders and hire Biden to do that job?

[Paka]

63. You and I look at Senator Sanders and see a very different man.

I see a decent caring person who has had to fight opposition at every turn, but worked in simple ways to achieve success. He was not known as the "Amendment King" for nothing. He worked things in however necessary even if he didn't get any credit. Senator Sanders doesn't work for credit he works for the people.

He would be my top choice to help me with field work in Africa or anyplace else in the world. It's sad the untruths he has been smeared with and I hope I'm big enough to see through all the talking points.

But thank you for your concern.

[ahoysrcsm]

65. Damn that was a good movie, granted I saw it in '93.

[BidenBacker]

41. Firstly

I would hope that former microbiologists would have a higher than normal IQ. Congrats.

Secondly, don't take everything so personally. I wasn't referring to anybody here on an obscure political forum...just all these spoiled 20 and 30-year old brats who are in the public limelight and/or on Sanders' staff who apparently haven't matured enough to accept the fact that sometimes democracy is a real bitch.

Thirdly, rocket engineers tend to have an above-average IQ as well...just so you know in case you never met one spending all your time in a virus lab. But apparently we also have a better sense of humor than scientists do. Makes me glad I chose aerospace engineering over astrophysics if they are all as sensitive as you are!

Maybe you should take a break and watch some comedies...as another poster has already mentioned, "Stripes" might be a good place to start.

[HarlanPepper]

73. Don't believe everything you read

DU is awash in “pop up experts” lately.

[NNadir]

53. Well, if I were intelligent, I would leave the intellectually bankrupt idea that a person's...

...intellect can be reduced to a single number to racists and poor thinkers who think that 1920s and 1930s concepts of "intelligence" have any meaning.

Trump likes to talk about "IQ" and he, of course, is an idiot.

Personally, I find membership in a cult, far left or far right, a better indicator of one's intellectual proficiency than some number recorded by an elementary school principal when one was a child.

A Note on This Race and IQ Business.

I know lots of people besides the famous orange nightmare - in whom Bernie Sanders is spectacularly disinterested as he attacks DEMOCRATS - whose "IQ" is higher than their age who are still fools.

[Cha]

48. That's what I was asking.. who is the whiny woman who

thinks she knows everything but doesn't know shite.

I see we got an answer from Kahuna.. Thank you!

I've seen her name as part of that TYT bunch and heard how ridiculous she is but first time seeing her.

BS lost cenk..

[BidenBacker]

7. Somebody needs to forward this video to the CDC...ASAP if not sooner

Looks like coronavirus has mutated and is now attacking the brain instead of the lungs. And these two are positive, for sure.

Tune in tomorrow for the next gripping installment of..."As The Bern Turns".

[George II]

9. I was surprised when I saw that earlier. Good subject line!

[Kahuna]

14. Thank you, Sir...

[sop]

11. Questions: Who is this "we" they're talking about, and what "brand" are they they referring to?

Is it the Democratic party? The Bernie Party? The Socialist Party? Or is it really just the anti-Democratic party? And why are they urging their "Progressive" listeners to find another candidate - apparently someone more palatable than Bernie - to primary Biden after he's elected?

[BlueLucy]

17. They have to keep the money rolling in.

Their whole money making machine will come down if democrats do good.

[NurseJackie]

12. Oh dear God... she's such a whiny baby! I hate people like her.

"I have no hope at all when it comes to Biden doing the right thing."

Seriously! FUCK YOU!

""We should start the process of primarying him from day one."

Fuck you, too, Cenk! FUCK YOU!

[Hortensis]

59. Some shows are like litmus tests for character and judgement.

What KIND of people would imagine primarying Biden would be in any way positive, much less desirable or needed?

Malice or wired-in idiocy, or almost certainly both, there's something wrong with them.

[Gothmog]

15. The TYT idiots sound so sad

[John Fante]

20. Sorry Cenk, the progressive brand hurt itself back in 2016

with all their conscience vote purity test BS. You want the keys to the Democratic kingdom while showing nothing but contempt for it. That's not going to happen.

[Blue_true]

21. That was delicious to watch.

[Stand and Fight]

30. And to many here, I'm sure you sound like Putin's tool too.

[relayerbob]

32. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Pot meet kettle

[bucolic_frolic]

24. Such drama .... do they understand you need votes to win in a democracy?

There is no persecution, just a message that was always geared to a cult and didn't sell to the general public for obvious reasons.

Bernie, go home.

[LakeArenal]

29. When does a Young Turk become an old Turk?

Cenk needs to change his brand.

Then that women begins crying sour grapes and Cenk says Dems will cry when they start primarying Biden.

What hypocrites they are.

[oasis]

31. Cenk's impossible dream ends and his new quest begins.

[peggysue2]

33. Well, maybe we should thank Cenk

This is a heads-up of what the progressive wing intends to do. Find another candidate and primary Biden after a first term.

On the other hand, it's not a good look, very reminiscent of Mitch McConnell standing up in the Senate declaring his main mission was ensuring President Obama was a one-termer.

Is what it is. But at the very least it underscores the fact that progressives realize the game is over.

[LakeArenal]

34. Those "progressive" voters might be over.

This progressive voter is for our progressive next president Joe Biden.

I won’t let Bernie and supporters purloin certain labels.

[sop]

35. Wasn't Sanders supposed to be the "true progressive" candidate with huge support in 2020?

The one who would finally vanquish the Democratic DNC establishment, you know, after all his supporters went to the polls? No, I guess not.

Somehow this will all change in 2024, once his followers can agree on a new standardbearer to pick up where Bernie left off. In the meantime, they'll keep on hammering Biden over some 30-year-old Senate votes.

[Turin_C3PO]

36. I wouldn't call them the progressive wing.

To me, people like Elizabeth Warren and Nancy Pelosi represent progressives. Hell, even AOC is a team player for the most part.

[peggysue2]

44. At the very least, Cenk realizes that it's time to pivot

So that we all lean in and ensure that Trump and his enablers are kicked to the curb. At the moment, I won't spend much energy on what's going to happen in 2024, who or what the Cent-Like progressives choose to do then. The only thing that matters right now IMHO is that voters get behind Joe Biden in November and we bring this Trumpian nightmare to an end, fini, over and done.

If Cenk can convince enough of his buddies and fans to do that, I'll say 'thank you' myself.

[The Magistrate]

55. Well Said, Ma'am

"From Bernie’s perspective, dropping out of a race once you have no chance of winning is peculiar behavior that can only be explained by the work of a hidden hand. For most politicians, though, it is actually standard operating procedure. Only Sanders seems to think the normal thing to do once voters have made clear they don’t want to nominate you is to continue campaigning anyway."





"When things are not called by their right names, what is said cannot make sense. When what is said does not make sense, what is planned cannot succeed. When plans do not succeed, people become uneasy. When people are uneasy, punishments do not fit crimes. When punishments do not fit crimes, people cannot know where to put hand or foot."

[Blue_true]

67. People like Cenk, Cornel West, Susan Sarandon have hijacked the term

"progressive". They are remotely. What they are are anarchists that have an insatiable thirst for conflict and the angst that come with it. A progressive comes to a table with a set of wants, fights hard for those wants and signs on to agreement that advance the country farther toward a country with social and economic justice than existed before the bargaining started.

[IluvPitties]

38. LOL! Cenk is an idiot.

[betsuni]

42. The sad music is hilarious.

At least Cenk will say he's voting for Biden, after waiting until the last minute to announce he would vote for Clinton last time.

[Cha]

46. Hey betsuni.. yeah at least cenk was facing some reality..

even though he's still brainwashing against Our Hard Working Dem Party. He got some reality in his face when he lost CA25 primary!

Do you know who that whiny woman is who thinks she knows it all but actually doesn't know shit?

Aloha~

[betsuni]

49. Ana Kasparian.

Ironically, she used to be the smart, level-headed one while Cenk was prone to emotional rants, which were probably just for the show. I watched back when it was about reality, things Republicans do to wreck the country. Actual journalism.

Then it became pro-Russia, anti-America (meaning anti-Democratic Party) propaganda. Such a shame. Ana really went off the deep end and swallowed all the conspiracy theories and disinformation. Now she's the one spitting with hate for Democrats and doesn't know none of what she believes is true. Cenk still knows it's show business: branding, advertising, selling. He voted for Hillary last time and will vote for Biden; she is lost.

[Cha]

50. All about the Benjamins for cenk & I guess he

doesn't want to be left holding that bag that the cat escaped?

cenk already has to live down his serial misogyny and his big debut loss in CA25 to the Democratic Primary Winner, Christy Smith!

Ana looks like she a Krystal Ball would have a ton of stuff to commiserate over.

Mahalo.. StaySafe!

[Cha]

45. Who's that brainwashed woman who thinks

she knows shite and doesn't give a shit about Covid19 or the Planet?

BS' "message" was Rejected and he spent 4x More $$$$ to do it than Joe Biden did to WIN.

Mahalo, Kahuna.. StaySafe!

[Akakoji]

51. The gloating here is tasteless

Amazed he’s doing the right thing. And clearly stating that. Not sure he has any sway over Bernie, but his starting now is a good thing. Too bad it’s not Jeff Weaver.

[The Magistrate]

52. Welcome To The Forum, Sir

I quite agree with your comments, particularly in regard to Weaver.

Be well, and stay safe!

[Akakoji]

61. Thank You

WEaver and Turner were big mistakes IMHO.

[Akakoji]

71. Thank you for the welcome!

I am honored. Be well and stay safe as well. Please reach out to the elderly, disabled and others that are overwhelmed, confused and terrified. Sometimes it just takes a call or note left under a door, or a gift certificate. I've been putting breakfast at the doors of the 28 elderly people that live on my floor. One person left a handwritten note asking me if I would contact his grandchildren because he didn't know how to use the internet. It took me a while to recover from that.

[The Magistrate]

72. A Wonderful Thing To Do, Sir

I am under doctor's orders to give my best imitation of a hermit, and am doing my best to comply. One doesn't like to boast, but I have just about every factor pointing to a poor outcome from this thing. I am not alone, however.

[MrsCoffee]

58. So is the scolding.

[LongtimeAZDem]

62. No, Cenk Uygur, the misogynistic, bestiality-excusing genocide denier is tasteless.

[Akakoji]

74. Never couls stand the guy. But his union busting tactics are inexcusable

Low life is too good a word for this person. We can do so much better.

[MrsCoffee]

57. Lol. "They're gonna smear us".

Words and actions have consequences you numbnuts.

You spent most your time on Russian TV, smeared Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party with bullshit propaganda daily, made it to MSNBC only to fail, took Republican money and failed again. Went all Bernie Bro and Justice Democrats promising to burn it all down and primary everyone....

Cenk got absolutely slaughtered trying to run for office.

Yet, now now you are afraid they are gonna smear YOU?


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..........

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha..........

[Blue_true]

68. I wondered about his "they're going to try to smear us" claims as I caught

breaths between laughs.

People like him smear themselves every time they open their mouths.

[ismnotwasm]

60. That music though.....

[Blue_true]

69. Sounds like something from an old movie, maybe the

scene where the intrepid vampire slayer enters the heavy door of the dark castle, and slowly makes his way around mist shrouded bends, wiping away cobwebs as he inches forward, doggedly searching for Dracula, sharpened stake held in a hand.

[Blasphemer]

64. I give him credit for acknowledging it is time to move on. Hope to see more of that.. nt

[Galraedia]

66. Media bias in the 2020 election...oh the irony

TYT is extremely biased for Bernie Sanders. They've attacked literally every other candidate except Bernie and Tulsi.

"Let em cry...fuck em" ~ Ana

[Blue_true]

70. I hope that Ana treated herself to a gin and tonic to wash down the venom of her

"let them cry, fuck em!"
