I hope one day the media gets better and is more honest about what the politicians are doing. I hope Bernie becomes President in 2020, and we can get our country back. H
Maybe a little hope, the recent political climate in the US has woken a lot of people to how politics work just not in the US, but also in other places. Uneven playing fields exist not just in government and policy across the world but also in private industries. On the private industry front, there is also a generation of innovative disruptors who are using technology to disrupt tradition. Many of us are looking at politics and saying to ourselves, here is an industry that needs LOTS of innovation.
That’s it – I’m taking my girlfriend to Squatter’s this weekend. \
I’m bummed I couldn’t make it last weekend to see Cenk. Had other shit going on!!! Damn IT!!!
Does anyone remember the answer Hillary gave during one of the town halls towards the end of the primary where the person interviewing her asked her about how she was going to bring Bernie supporters over to her camp or something like that? It seems like it was during the time when the mainstream had gone all in on the superdelegate count and her being a sure thing and her answer was like ‘I’m winning, so why should I do anything’. I have searched and searched for that clip, because everytime I see someone attacking Bernie supporters for one thing or another, I want to just shove that clip in their face and say THIS is why she lost. This is the candidate she was. It would be awesome if someone could find that. To me, that was the epitome of her overall candidacy; that dismissive, elitist hubris that just excreted through every part of her being.
For me, it was totally about her politics and the fact that she was “The Establishment”, but for so many that I know, it was that plus this unexplainable intuitive hatred of her. My niece, who was 7 at the time, couldn’t stand Donald Trump. She came to that on her own just from what she saw of him on local news coverage. However, just a few months back, both of my nieces, ages 8 and 12, told me their classes had done a mock election and they had both voted for Trump. I was a little thrown but I wanted to get their take. So of course, they were only given two candidates to choose from which I thought was ridiculous, but they told me that he was awful but still better than Hillary. When I asked them what they didn’t like about Hillary, they really couldn’t put it into words; they just hated her. I’m sure there was a tiny bit of group-think involved too considering we are in Texas, but still, I have heard that from so many people. I’ve also heard from several people who voted for Trump, that they would have voted for Bernie. How ’bout them apples?! {Cue Cenk…”OF COURSE!!!”}
I personally, lucked out and got to walk away from the voting booth with a clear conscience. Since I’m in Texas, although I did wait to vote on election day just in case it ended up being a tight race, I voted for Jill Stein with the hopes that one of the third party candidates would achieve the 5% required to get full access for the party in following elections and disrupt our stupid two-party system.
Btw, I did tell my nieces that they should let their teachers know there were 4 presidential candidates on our ballot plus an option to write in a candidate and gave them the 411 on Hillary and Trump and their policies and what it all meant. And I told them…Bernie would have and should have won!! Lol
Thank you so much! I searched and searched for that and could not find it for some reason. It makes me sick too! I don’t understand how Hillary supporters could see that and still try to blame her loss on everything and everyone but Hillary. But to be fair, I also can’t understand how people could trumpet “I’m with her” as an inspiring campaign slogan. That’s like saying, forget policies, forget ethics, forget representation, she’s female. They should have made her campaign slogan “V for Vote, V for Vagina, Vote for Vagina”! At least that would have eluded to some small level of transparency. Lol. Hell, with that slogan, Donald Trump would have probably voted for her! ;D
My fear is the lack of learning on the part of the establishment. If you try to bring up how hated HRC was they will flip their lid, they don’t learn. They are going to keep putting up people that will likely keep losing to people like Trump over and over and over… that’s my fear
I did not vote for Hillary. I admit it. I’m in Connecticut so I knew she’d win here. I just could NOT cast a vote for her. I’d rather not vote then vote for her. I did not vote for Trump though. He is vile and I knew that and there’s no way I’d have voted for him.
I adore Bernie. I’d vote for him in a heartbeat. I have friends who think I took the crazy pill too. It’s hurtful because I present facts and they just poopoo it. Most of my friends on Facebook now just ignore me.
Also, I’m not falling for their stupid propaganda. I did not care about the fact that she was a woman and all that stupid shit they kept saying. I did not want another damn Clinton. I didn’t want Bush 2.0 either. I didn’t vote for him but at that time I was in Texas so I knew damn well he’d win there.
I don’t vote for a person because they are a certain gender or are a certain color or a certain age or anything. I’m looking at policy. Bernie ticked nearly every single box I was looking for. I was sad and angry for a very long time after the election. Eventually, you get up and try to keep moving forward. So I’m doing that. We vote tomorrow so I’ll be watching TYT all night again. :-)
There are a lot of different definitions for naturalist depending on what you are trying to define. It can be related to art, history, science, or a philosphy that is connected to man being at their natural state. Naturist is defined as nudism yes but also as naturalist so they are pretty much interchangable. Naturist seems to be more popular because it really only applies to that vs naturalist applying to other things. However using “naturalist” since it’s more broad might feel “safer.” That is what my very limited research on the two words lead me to conclude

“It was so deuty, Cenk. So deauty.”
Hahaha. I’m just listening to the audio, and this is still so cute.
Please inform Cenk that YouTube has removed his 2018 (Warrior Workshop) Wolf-pac speech.

It was brilliant and might have informed the populous too much in Google’s eyes.
I hope one day the media gets better and is more honest about what the politicians are doing. I hope Bernie becomes President in 2020, and we can get our country back. H
For purposes of uniting the party I have chosen not to put my verbose response to the 2016 Democratic Primaries on here. I’m trying to be a good girl.
I had the same impression of Ben for a long time, Ana. I used to switch off when you guys had him on, LOL.

That interview was with Rachel Maddow; which was covered by Johnny Pie and Jimmy Dore here on TYT. Here’s the Link:

Made me sick to my stomach to listen to it again….

I will never, ever, ever vote for Hillary. Like Nassim Taleb said,
“I Prefer Sanders To Trump But Absolutely No Hillary, no SHillary”
And if anyone wants to lecture me about optimal Progressive strategies in an Election of high uncertainty, spare me. I’m not a Progressive.
Just the other day I asked for the post game to be only Cenk and Ana. Jayar is cool though. Lol, I’ll still take Cenk and Ana alone
I’M A NUDIST! AND GAY AND BLACK AND CHUBBY! AND A SCIENTIST!
guys, you need to do AIRBNB, rent a whole house with plenty of beds for all of your crew. it makes more sense.
Hell, the TYT members would probably host them wherever they stay
The android app doesn’t work in multi window mode for me. I came here after trying to watch on the app.
My fear is the lack of learning on the part of the establishment. If you try to bring up how hated HRC was they will flip their lid, they don’t learn. They are going to keep putting up people that will likely keep losing to people like Trump over and over and over… that’s my fear
I try not to get too discouraged but sometimes…
This is why the Young Turks and the Justice Democrats are here, along with Wolf-PAC. We need to defeat the establishment, and we need to defeat Trump.
Oh I know and as I said I try not to give in too much but some days it’s harder to not be discouraged than others…
Thank you! So few people are able to acknowledge how thoroughly abhorred HRC is by conservatives. She’s not even that well liked among liberals.
I did not vote for Hillary. I admit it. I’m in Connecticut so I knew she’d win here. I just could NOT cast a vote for her. I’d rather not vote then vote for her. I did not vote for Trump though. He is vile and I knew that and there’s no way I’d have voted for him.

that gun rights guy went balls deep !!!!
Friday Post Game is awesome, dumbassloser! That’s your name. Not calling you that.
Hey you guys should take a look at the Spike Lee’s news conference at Canne after his film won the award.
I believe the term is naturist, not naturalist. Naturalist is the old term for a scientist.
There are a lot of different definitions for naturalist depending on what you are trying to define. It can be related to art, history, science, or a philosphy that is connected to man being at their natural state. Naturist is defined as nudism yes but also as naturalist so they are pretty much interchangable.

This is one thing I’ll miss from membership, The Post Game.
