TYT's Cenk Uygur running for President :francis:

[mc_brew]

I'm all for a decent primary challenger to Biden but this ain't it, chief

Cenk would have been better off running for Adam Schiff's seat if he were actually serious about running for office.

cenk would be better off staying a news commentator/entertainer.... he's good at it, he makes good points, and keeps us entertained.... being able to diagnose a problem from the outside is radically different from being able to solve the problem from the inside.... cenk just needs to keep us entertained by the hot takes, try not to take himself too seriously, and keep it moving...

I think the reason he isn't is because we'll have legit progressives running for that seat

Oh I agree 100%. I'm just thinking in terms of whether Cenk is dead set on running for office. Even though he flamed out his last congressional run, Adam Schiff's district is much safer than the district Cenk ran in last time.

As it stands, nobody is gonna pay any attention to Cenk's presidential run. Even his idea of "Nobody else will primary Biden so I will and maybe someone else will too" is likely to fail. The national media won't pay him any attention, and mainstream liberal Democrats at worst dislike him and at best don't know or care that he exists. He has zero chance of getting on the ballot because he was born in Turkey, and his only response to that is the Juelz.gif, and by his own admission he's blackballed from most national media outlets.

The only national outlet that will pay him any mind is Chris Cuomo because Cenk was been a frequent guest on Cuomo for years.

Did you forget about Williamson and West?

Like I said, I'm all for a decent primary challenger to Biden

You’re acting like I said Kennedy!

Have you considered Larry Elder?

 

[Fctftl]

He’ll be about as successful as Vermin Supreme

but HL makes running a country, enacting policy, etc sound so easy. its just the unwillingness of the corporate bought politicians that is holding us back. cenk understands this and therefore is the ONLY person I'm willing to give my vote

well mr. wire, while hl and tlr make running a massive federal government overseeing 335M residents seem easy, it is indeed very difficult work... bought politicians won't just roll over because cenk says something like, "down goes trump, down goes biden"...

cenk has no government experience, would have no coalition in either the house or senate, and has excessively divisive rhetoric.... the deep state would eat him alive... after all, he has to have staff and advisors and exactly who would those people be....? is he going to have anna as his vp...? ray vanna as his chief of staff....? jayar as his press secretary...? it's just not happening... nice thought, but we need a serious minded candidate and mr. uyger just is not that person....

however, if you'd like to return to the biden boyz posse, we'll make sure you get a nice "i voted" sticker on election day....

No it’s because no one would vote for him and he need a larger grift. TYT is useless without a Republican in office.

I can tell you've never watched TYT. They spend probably as much or more time shytting on Democrats. Cenk is literally screaming on air every day that Biden is a shytty candidate and will lose in 2024.

The whole reason I started watching is they go at Democrats unlike MSNBC that acts like an arm of the Democratic party.

If you actually think I've never watched TYT then I can tell you're not a HL regular. I'm not saying that they don't attack Democrats, I am saying that they haven't offered anything useful since Trump was in office and they provided a progressive alternative to what to do about it and how to go forward as Democrats. They've been useless during Biden's entire term by (a) giving a voice to stupid points, (b) at times endorsing actual Republicans in LA and buying into right-wing narratives of crime and (c) not providing any legitimate strategies going forward.

They're at their best as a protest network. I stopped watching years ago but whenever something from there comes across my timeline it's something stupid.
