No offense but does anyone really give a fuck about California politics, the bluest of blue states. Ten years from now that place will be worse than the Soviet Union. And whoever still chooses to live there then can go fuck themselves and wipe their filthy asses with their socialist shit policies.
he retracted itI love Bernie but I don't know what the fuck he's doing endorsing Cenk
All I can say is “Wow!” This flip/flop by Bernie is not good. It makes the initial endorsement look rash and/or the subsequent retraction as caving to the Cancel Culture that has infested the female wing of the Progressive movement. But not entirely surprising when you consider that Cenk was driven out of the Justice Democrats because of his long-ago blog posts as a controversy-stoking conservative blogger.he retracted it
Which means that the Cancel Culturalists have declared the strongly Progressive Cenk Uygur as less appealing than a centrist/establishment Democrat just because of her gender. What a huge moment of fail!

Some of these talk show hosts are too strange in real life and are better off sticking to their entertainment job. Even Rush Limbaugh realized this, hence he never ran for office despite the fact that he probably could have easily won a Congressional seat in his younger days.
I think you just love Cenk because he reminds you of yourself -- a former conservative who inexplicably turned far left.
Spot on. He developed a conscience, self-awareness of the toxic nature of excessive self-focus that pervades much of conservative ideology, and turned to embrace fostering the welfare of others beyond the relationships he would directly benefit from.Or maybe also because he's a freak and a weird dude, and they don't really want to be associated with him.

But back to the recent news...
Distressingly, this move by Bernie Sanders is likely to doom his candidacy, as it contributes to fracturing Progressives along the purity test-driven tenets of the Cancer Culture.

Mumbles, you are a weird form of a progressive in that you have maintained one small facet of political sanity -- you aren't on board with cancel culture or the crazy third wave feminism.
Unfortunately for you, most other progressives have jumped fully aboard the SJW train, so they are (for the most part) just fine with the reversal of the Cenk endorsement, due to his previous perverted comments about women.
Honestly the voters of CA-25 should worry a lot more about Cenk being a carpetbagger than his weird obsessions with Miami women and beastiality, but this whole thing doesn't play well with the SJW crew. I don't see a mass abandonment of Bernie over this. He will lose a very small number of supporters over this, but it's not a big deal overall.
Mumbles, give yourself a pat on the back for being so charitable, woke and worldly my dude
I’m not that unusual. Among prominent YouTube Progressive voices, Cenk Uygur, Kyle Kulinski mostly reject/question the cancel culture and third wave feminism even though they may temper their criticism of specific Progressive candidates who support it out of a desire to not fracture the Progressive movement, David Pakman probably comes closest to being frank about their toxicity. You just tend to interpret the loudest and most extreme voices as representing the typical Progressive. And that would be like me claiming that one of loudest and most extreme rightwing voices out there, such as Mike Cernovich and John Hagee as representing the typical conservatives.
In fact, Cenk Uygur has spoken out angrily about how the Dems fucked up by pushing Al Franken out of the Senate over the allegations of him groping some women versus having him do a public mea culpa and promising to be better in the future. First, because Franken was very good at his job there for the Dems, and second, because it showed that the Dems don’t allow anyone to redeem themselves for mistakes made and move beyond them. That kind of rigidity/purity testing damages the party and robs them of otherwise excellent leading voices.

I gained some respect for him when he covered Gamergate and didn't fall for the SJW histrionics involving the situation. It was clear that he saw the whole thing for the fraud it was. Many progressives defaulted to supporting it and its scammy leading figures, because it had a convenient set of supposed victims (women in gaming) and perpetrators (angry white males).
I used to argue with some SJW gamers on Facebook (which ended when the "friend" I had in that community blocked me), and it was amusing how tilted they would get when I would expose the scam that was Gamergate.
So, The New York Times is a leftist news outlet? Then why did it smear Progressive Cenk Uygur as an anti-Semite and promoting beastiality?

I don't think carpetbaggery is such a big issue. If you go through just the CA reps, many of them arent from where they represent. I checked the first 5 and 3 aren't even from California. CA-2 is from Missouri, CA-3 is from Florida, CA-4 is from New York. Do people really care?
If a candidate makes a concerted effort to meet residents in the district and commit to representing them, they don’t.I don't think carpetbaggery is such a big issue.

For example, one of the most well-known cases of “carpetbaggers” in modern American electoral history probably is John McCain. Before he first ran for elected office in Arizona, he lived in Florida, having retired from the Navy some years prior and settled there. And he initially wanted to run for Congress in a Florida district, but there were none he could do so with a decent chance of getting elected without challenging an established member of the GOP. But a seat in Arizona “opened up” with the planned retirement of GOP rep there, and he and his family moved there for him to run for that seat.
Of course he did face the accusation from his opponent’s surrogates of being a carpetbagger, but he overcame that accusation by his vigorous campaigning and because his wife Cindy was from Arizona, and quite a wealthy family there strong connections to the GOP. And he had a compelling story as a hero war vet.
As for how the charge of carpetbagger might affect Cenk, my guess is that it will be on some voters’ minds, but once they hear him talk about what he has come to know about the issues the district faves, as well asactually seeing him in person (because he is actually canvasing voters himself door-to-door, that concern will mostly evaporate. In the following vid of an interview by David Pakman, you can hear Cenk mebtioning tuis.

How Cenk Uygur Threw The Race To Replace Katie Hill Into Chaos
California Democrats were supporting Hill’s anointed successor, Christy Smith. Then a controversial lefty upended everything.
https://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/us_5...b0969b618c9cde
Here’s my favorite passage:
That passage shows how enthusiastic Cenk’s fans are for him, which is surely driving the Dem Party estblishment and it’s allies in the mainstream media absolutely nutso, hence the multi-pronged smear campaign against him. In fact, it’s kind of like a repeat of the fight for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, with a widely popular outsider with excellent populist messaging skills hyper-aggressively challenging the party establishment in his bid to win national office as a member of the party.He has a massive, loyal following from his progressive news show, some of which has already translated into enthusiastic support in California’s 25th District, a sprawling expanse stretching from Simi Valley to Lake Los Angeles.
When Aubrey Roadhouse, a 28-year-old teacher who lives in Lancaster found out Uygur had entered the race, she “started shaking like a Chihuahua,” she said. “I was so excited. I could not believe that somebody who is such a strong progressive fighter for progressive issues was bringing the fight to my hometown.”

Watch and weep, corporatist robot.

Cenk isn't going to bring anything into the district except his own ego and his bulging eyes to stare at women with big tits.
This whole thing is just a vanity project or a ste, and you're extremely naive if you think he's going to spend any time focusing upon local interests. At least he's born in Turkey so he can't attempt to become President.
Cenk has raised $800,000 from 30,000 donors, which he mentioned in a debate that Christy Smith was too chickenshit to show up for.
Speaking of a corporatist tool refusing to debate a high energy Progressive candidate during a Democratic primary race, 2 points if you can correctly guess the name of this former high-ranking Democratic member of Congress..
