  3. Honey, the Democrats are not a *party* anymore, if they are, its no longer a party. You vote for whoever you like, I will vote for the uncorrupted, esp. when they have progressive ideas, whatever party they belong too! We have already tried so much shit that NEVER worked, yet we keep trying ideas that FAILED. The definition of insanity is doing the same shit over and over again and expecting a different result. I want better!

  4. I like how Hartson has developed as a candidate. When they first had her on Rebel Headquarters she definitely looked like she was finding her way.

  5. I got a Joke.

    How do you know when you’re talking to a republican? . . . .

    When you’re talking about what’s right or wrong, they are talking about money.

    2. they probably had a planned schedule, that he most likely also agreed to beforehand. Actually I’m pretty sure he specifically asked people to start playing off after a certain amount time. : D

  9. I liked it mostly until Cenk came back solo and started the Hillary bashing. I know I’ll get no sympathy from any of you, but Cenk is being willfully ignorant on this issue. I’m not a millennial, but I’m not OLD (I’m 38), and there are many of us Centrist Democrats. There are also many progressives. But we need each other! As long as we are divisive among ourselves, using a a strict far-left litmus test on what makes someone a democrat or not the Republicans will continue to win. They are MUCH better at controlling their base and whipping votes in the House and The Senate. Even now that we definitively KNOW that many of the reasons people think they hate Hillary were, in fact, Russian propaganda designed to help elect Trump, Cenk and many others on the left are still punching themselves in the face by dividing our party. It’s incredibly irresponsible and as long as “the king of internet news” keeps leading us over that cliff the republicans will always ALWAYS win. Go read the 37-page indictment report guys, it tells us flat-out that Russia tried to get many on the left to vote for Jill Stein, even using the words “don’t chose a lesser evil” and to “vote your conscience or not at all”. Congrats gang, you handed the election to VLADIMIR PUTIN.

    1. Cenk’s being willfully ignorant and he’s “handing the election to Vladmir Putin?”

      No one had to convince me to hate Hillary. She did it ALL ON HER OWN.
      It’s not Putin’s fault, it’s not Bernie’s fault, it’s not the Green Party’s fault, or Jimmy Dore’s fault.
      Hillary has EARNED every bit of the distrust people have of her.

      Centrist Democrat generally means more pro-corporate & pro-establishment. The idea that by helping business, you will help the economy, which will eventually help the citizens. Fair enough.
      But Centrist, Neolibs have had their 26 year run and what has happened?
      The country is CRATERING.

      The Democratic Party has been taken over by the Borg. The Consultant Class & money has corrupted them to the point where, it’s not that they can’t be saved. It’s that they DON’T WANT TO be saved.

      How about Centrist join with Progressives for a change? How about they follow OUR lead? Nothings stopping you, except the fact that Centrist Neolibs want things to STAY THE SAME.

      Btw, I was born in 1965, I’m 53, voted for the first time in 1984.
      I have ALWAYS voted Democratic, and this last election opened my eyes to just how corrupt our Gov’t has become. Obama was NOT “Change.” But, the Progressive movement IS real change.

      Progressives have been told to compromise., again and again and again and again.
      Centrists, under Obama, have LOST over a 1000 seats in Congress.
      So whose being willfully ignorant now?

      1. with you, Chetzmom. I first registered Dem in the 1980’s and I voted blue-no-matter-who for 35 years and I regret that now. I recognize that by always voting for the person with the “D” next to their name, instead of holding people ACCOUNTABLE, I was one of the millions who allowed the Democratic Party to spiral down the toilet.

        The party fell so goddamn low, that Hillary Clinton became our presidential nominee… the Worst. Candidate. In. Modern. History.

        She lost to Trump. That says it all.

        Putin did not tell me to vote my conscience. Hillary did.

        I still have no regret whatsoever about voting for Jill Stein.

        The “Russian threat” to our democracy pales to insignificance compared to the threat of the Corporate Oligarchs right here in the good old USA. THAT is the battle we all need to fight.

        And, Hillary is on THEIR side, not ours.

    2. If you believe this, then shouldn’t you be just as mad at Clinton for handing the election to Vladimir Putin? Do you think really think Clinton wasn’t divisive? She’s the second most unpopular candidate. She’s pretty divisive.

      I mean this has nothing to do with being centrist or progressive or whatever. Going with such a hate candidate is obviously risky. They knowingly take that risk with our democracy. Why don’t you hate the democrats for doing that?

  10. This was so fun to watch so glad we still got to see it even though I couldn’t catch it live, congrats on 16 years guys!

  11. This was awesome, thanks everyone. I’ve always wondered if the song played at the end is available for download. Classic beat.

  12. John’s comment about the pastor’s degree…….”self starter” cracked me up. Ya gotta listen to John, he’s got the jewels.

    2. Cenk is so loyal. Glad to see Wes getting a shoutout.
      TYTArmy will always wish the best for Wes. Hope he comes around.

      2. Anyone know if Wes has said anything publicly about his paranoid meltdown last summer? I’m just wondering if he’s changed his attitude/opinion since then, or still things this is a huge conspiracy?

  14. This was so great and funny! Thanks everyone for a very entertaining night.

    It is funny when you give John shit, but don’t get carried away. He’s a good guy.

  15. So glad I got to catch this even though I wasn’t able to watch it live. It was one of the hardest nights my family has had to face, but it has made me see that we have to fight for our rights right now, before we lose everything. The government must work for the people, not be looking for every single way it can be a parasite. People are dying, people’s lives are being destroyed, and we can’t let this go on for another year, month, day, hour, or minute longer than it has to.

    Thanks for fighting, and thank you for giving me a bright spot in what has been a hellish few days. Love you guys.
