Cenk Uygur : Democrats Are Losing 49-0 Getting their Clock Cleaned An Lost Over 1,000 Seats

[PEB]

I know what a lot of Sherdoggers think about Cenk but he brings up some solid points on what is happening to the democratic party. He believes that the Supreme Court is going to given Republicans uncontrolled power for decades. He still does not understand the problem but he gives his points about what he believes the direction Democrats need to move but already Republicans are tearing apart much of the points he puts up. I give him credit at least to call out the current crop of Democrats who have driven the party into the ground. Does anyone disagree with the core part of this debate about removing money from Politics.

Fucking Cenk.

Getting money out of politics is the single most important issue we face. If a politician does not campaign on that as a core message I cannot even begin to take them seriously.

These people have been campaigning on "getting money out of politics" longer than I have been alive.

I know that but there are some who actually mean it and wont even take corporate money.


Either way this it THE issue and it is pretty amazing how it hardly gets discussed seriously .

To be fair, I remember Cenk was one of the first people on the leftist media who reluctantly called the Trump presidency almost 2 hours before it happened. I still go back once in awhile and watch TYT meltdown highlight videos.

I love Cenk's wrestling monologue at 6:20 (timestamped)

I didn't care about politics much till just a few years ago when I realized something was profoundly wrong with our system. It.only took me a short while to.figure out it was bribery and money in politics. Any politician who.doesn't see it and say it is a fucking liar.

And we were winning until Citizens Untied.

The McCain Fiengold act, was the most strict campaign finance law we had ever seen. Unfortunately we didn't really get to see the results, as CU was ruled on shortly after.

The people who disagree with this, are such a small minority, they should be viewed as less relevent than the Whig party.

Conservative supreme court is a great thing. The left is going to go batshit crazy trying to get revenge during the next presidency.

How is that relevant to this thread?

It isn't THE issue, and I think that's why it isn't discussed much.

It's just a marketing gimmick.

Hopefully RBG, Kagan, and Sotomayor retire next year.

I agree

most people are set in the beliefs and no.... $20,000..... Hi Im hillary clinton and I love minorities .... commercial is going to change peoples mind. its the few swing voters that determine.

i think a bigger issue than money are the dumbass single issue voters. like the i only care about abortion or guns voters.

I don't think single issue voters are a problem either. A person who votes based entirely on abortion or gun issues is not necessarily being a dumbass.

Its not about how the money effects peoples votes...... no one thinks that.
