Cenk and John talk about Cenk’s super power: logic. They share their strengths and weaknesses in education. Cenk describes why he sucks at parking and his near perfect LSAT score.
I have a hard time believing Cenk is 99th percentile on logical reasoning, given some of the blatant fallacies he commits on certain topics (e.g. not understanding the difference between Islamic doctrine and “Muslims”). I guess his bias just overrides it there.
I seriously am not sure whether progressives are majority any longer. Maybe they are not. Maybe we are the minority and hence losing all over the place. I had an argument with my own daughter last night fgs, she playing me some collages of Ana taken out of context and apparently contradicing herself? Also the whole fat shaming thing with Alex Jones? What are you thinking to defend a guy like that and that to be your argument that tyt is full of shit?
This week has been so depressing and there is no hope or light ahead
I recommend you send someone into those rural areas and show the lack of opportunity. Then chronicle how much money and effort is needed to leave that town, travel to a city, find a place to live, train for a skill, and then get a job. To be very progressive, we will need to find solutions to bring these families into a greater economy of opportunity that many of us take for granted near the cities. Free college education is one of the only real solutions to this issue. What does not cost rural families money are voting booths. The Right would be stupid to give these people education and opportunity. I predict tax cuts for the rich and detrimental actions against education to keep those people unhappy. With FOX they can continue to sell them bullshit and propaganda. Telling them is not working progressives, we have to fight for them and use our comfortable positions in the cities to pull them up. If not, expect more Trump and that rural situation to continue to get worse.
Also, do not give in to hatred towards these rural folks. They voted for a NY Con Man, an illiterate Tony Stark, who descended from a building with his name on it. There is no logical reason Trump will help them. They are stuck and honestly fucked. We on the other hand know how to fix things and make them better, but we gotta get up and be aggressive. Never forget that we have all the advantage, smart and armed with facts. But we cannot play from the sideline any longer. Up and at ’em!
IMO- MSM called you not just bc you predicted a possible Trump win, they called bc TyT got over 4 million views election night. They don’t really about your opinion as much as they care about how they can steal a slice of your audience.
My prediction- MSM will start to have “actual”progressive segments more. It’s gonna look very similar to TyT.
Or else the MSM asked for Cenk’s opinion so that they’ll know what NOT to say. With our Far Right govt now, it could be deadly for MSM news twinkies to say the wrong thing. Fascism is alive and well, even if the citizenry isn’t.
You’ve got their attention now, Cenk. The powers that be in media and government are going to resent you, especially if they can’t control you. Beware and stay strong.
Cenk has to claim more “I told you so” than he does, because he has also predicted Osama Bin Laden’s demise just few months before it has happened; it is on video somewhere either on TYTInterviews or on the main channel.
Voter suppression by the GOP.
Bernie suppression by the DNC.
Leaving us with two bad candidates and no way out.
That is not Democracy.
From a legal standpoint, is there anything that can be done?
Couldn’t it be argued that our constitutional rights were violated?
Our politicians are becoming so bold & arrogant, they barely try to hide their deceitful actions anymore.
Over-confidence will be their downfall.
Agree. And the genie can’t be shoved back into bottle.
All we can do is to work full time to overhaul our entire electoral system {starting with grassroots
gerrymandering. } And, need I say it~? Get the $$$ out of politics~!
We may have lost the election, but momentum is on our side. Let’s use this anger wisely. I strongly urge the Progressive leaders to stand up and organize. They must send a message to the protesters. Violence of any kind will only strengthen the GOP and justify the fears of the republicans voters. I was born and raised in Wisconsin. I know what people are saying there. They are terrified of riots and violence. They are paralyzed by their fear of crime, even though they have never experienced it first hand. Peaceful protest is powerful for change. Violent protest will only give the GOP more power. We must not give them justification to further militarize the police.
The media attention is on the protest right now. They need to get their message out in a more specific way. I agree with Cenk on that. Equal rights, Global warming, getting money out of politics.
I know I’m preaching to the choir here, but I strongly believe we need to take action NOW against the GOP’s deliberate intent to suppress voters. If we don’t, they will without a doubt stack the deck even further before the next election. The DNC is dangerously vulnerable right now. The GOP is surely planning the final blow.
They have boldly manipulated the voting process right before our eyes. Noam Chomsky predicted all of it. If we don’t take action now, they will make it worse the next election.
8 years of Trump will accelerate Global Warming to catastrophic proportions.
Our only hope is to get Trump out after 4 years. We must get a level playing field back for our voters and do everything we can to get the GOP populous to urge their party accept climate change. If we can unite the country on climate change, and steer the economy towards clean energy, we just might have a chance.
Cenk, I love you and you normally do great work but you just missed the biggest news story and just mentioned it in passing during the post game. The fact that the establishment media acknowledged that you were right is huge. You seem to think that you just cover the news, wrong, you ARE the news. The democratic party is in the middle of a civil war. The two sides are the establishment and the progressives. You don’t seem to realize that you are the head of the progressive side. This is rebel headquarters and you own the building. TYT army is too strong and you are a great commander. To win this war we need to convince people that Hillary lost because the establishment doesn’t know what it is doing but progressives do. The fact that the mainstream media is taking you seriously and seeking your answers is vastly important news. This means the establishment’s grasp over the media is weakening and that we have a chance to take it. It also means that big names have acknowledged that you know what you are talking about and are implicitly saying that you should be listened to. As this is members only, I can’t share this news to bolster your credibility. This is honestly the biggest mistake I’ve seen you do for the months I have been watching.
The fact that the majority of americans want neither of them yet they are our choices is exactly why nobody should vote for her. Hilary clinton is against democracy. If she was for it she would not have done what she did to bernie. I will NEVER vote for somebody who is against democracy.
Just by virtue of how she got her nomination says it all. Yet what was that BS line she gave “even if your not with me im with you”. The will of the people or something to that effect. If that was true she would have allowed the will of the people to pick bernie.
If donald trump is elected it is not the fault of progressives who opted not to support her it is her fault for blocking the will of the people.
I also like how cenk and the rest of TYT staff started bad mouthing warren AFTER she didnt do exactly what they wanted and endorse bernie sanders because she presumably did what cenk is angry at stein supporters for doing.
She thought bernie stood no chance so backed hilary as a result it enraged Cenk she was called a sellout false hero of the progressives etc.
Now that stein supporters do not want to vote hilary cenk rants at the audience. Hmmm Hypocricy much? You were supporting bernie let stein supporters support stein.
If the democratic party has no problem impeding democracy for hilary clinton then it lets me know they are against the will of the people.
I do not wish to support a party that is against the will of the people. If the party is not of for and by the people then I dont care if its democratic or republican I dont want to support it.
Also contraty to ignorant belief being 3rd party does not make you passive agressive. There is always “no choice” until there is one.
Its time we create a new choice I did not vote Hilary and I will not be ashamed of my decision regardless of the outcome and F anybody who does not respect my decision and my right to vote for somebody I believe is the most progressive candidate.
The country is not 100% full of evil racist ill intentioned people because if that were the case obama could have never even come close to being elected.
To keep it 100% real part of the reason trump has so much support is the fault of the very party cenk says you need to vote for if you say your progressive.
Had the democratic party been more progressive and done there jobs properly and prosecuted the theft of the peoples resources instead of brushing it under the rug this race would not be so tight.
So again Cenk should not yell at me becuase the pary he wants to vote for failed to do their jobs which in turn destroyed the faith of the people they want to trick into electing them.
If you want to vote for hilary go for it but dont you dare claim I or others who feel as I do are not progressive becuase we do not support an enemy of democracy.
It just baffles me how he can call out the republican party and express our public disgust twoards voter supression but then Want us to vote for a woman who used candidate supression to stop people from becoming aware of their options.
If you are colluding with the media to stop people from getting to know the existence of a candidate who represents them you are an enemy of the people. She is not for the little guy and she is not for the average american she is an enemy to free will and democracy. Stop telling progressives they MUST vote for an enemy of their freedoms and values.
She has been in the govvernment for how long? She has had how long to use the millions of dollars her foundation has to do the things she “claims” she wants to do? You can drink some Kool aide cenk but I think ill have just a cup of “GREEN” tea this go around.
Cenk – I stumbled upon TYT about six months ago after searching youtube for Bernie Sanders. Instantly addicted and finally have a name for my political instincts: progressive. I am interested in anything a regular citizen can do to promote progressive issues. I guess we have to give Trump a chance but I hope the impeachment mechanism is at the ready. Bernie will only be 78 in 2020. That’s the new 70.
keithe1, welcome aboard. I am only five months ahead of you and have a similar story. You may wish to checkout https://ourrevolution.com/. If you are unfamiliar, it is the organization that rose from the ashes of Bernie’s primary campaign. Of the 16 progressive US representatives that they supported, eight were elected along with state and local officials throughout the country.

Moldova, Bulgaria also elected pro Russian presidents this week, fyi
I suspect the real reason Cenk missed out on 100% was a penalty for yelling “of coooouurrrsseeee!” after each question.

Impeachment will bring you Mike Pence – also known as Mike…Not good for progressive values
