Tyt was never a progressive network, they were always the so called " independent medias" msnbc. just like cnn and msnbc this is just a total capitulation to the rights framing due to bidens largely ineffective presidency. The corporate democrat movement on the left is dead. 3 failed elections
Cenk and Ana were always fairly mid in terms of progressive stripes. Cenk didn't even endorse Bernie when the entire left congealed behind him. Cenk endorsed Larry Lessig and tried to start a super-PAC. He got kicked out of the Justice Democrats basically at their ground floor too.

But TYT got credit for platforming genuine lefties and progressive voices. It just looks a bit different after the Union busting and Ben Dixon/Hasan Piker interviews explaining how exploitative TYT was towards its work force all the way up to the personalities that drew lefties in.

I always thought of TYT as a pipeline to leftism, because they gave legitimate lefties a voice. But Cenk and Ana were always mid...to be fair, I used to put Kyle Kulinski in the same boat, and he turned out to be much more inclined to leftist positions than the opportunist I used to take him for.

On the other hand, the 180 should let you know they believe the American left movement is dead.
I don’t understand why they’re just rolling over. The American public is going to move left by default because Trump is so repulsive. Trying to go right wing now is like trying to buy a stock at its highest then holding the bag when it crashes for the next 4 years. They should be trying to embolden the left right now when the stock is at its lowest

Because they’re not making money and they’re thinking about short term gain. This idiot Cenk tried to run for Congress and probably thought he would get enough traction to get donors or interest in TYT. It’s all been publicity stunts. They just ain’t got it the way they want to.

So now the goal posts have been moved as expected from the usual suspects. Can we get on record who are the true progressives so we can avoid this in the future :mjlol:

I really wish Dixon and others would refrain from namecalling when making public criticisms of Ana and Cenk.
It's stupid and gives them an out from acknowledging the legit critiques and points.

That's why Ana can duck them and just harp on the treatment she got after her assault from the homeless dude and Cenk can strawman about goofy shyt.
Mondale had a better response tweet to her but still (justifyingly) cursed at her.

Hit them with facts and let them look dumb when they rage.
Trump does that shyt all the time and look where we're at unfortunately.

I get it, but we are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy past "when they go low, we go high"

Speak about the issues, but when no one is looking dcck punch those c-nts

The Anaparagus shyt is corny and like breh said above it allows her to be the victim.

It also appeals to her racist fanbase because she Is pointing out the "intolerance" from the left.

On some, "Black folks make fun of us but get sensitive when racist jokes are said to them" stuff.


It's a stupid strategy from Ben.

I
They're gonna do that anyway.

You need to call them out and the side that they're running to out.

"we got old tweets of your so called new friends and here's what they think and feel about you"
