Nailed it. As someone who supported Bernie in 2016 and then saw the absolute meltdown when Hillary was the candidate, I realized that the alt-left is no better than MAGA. They don’t believe in compromise. They only believe in getting what they want and moving goalposts accordingly. I’ve noticed too how much less Gaza sloganeering there’s been, too. Funny… except not even remotely funny because Gaza will most assuredly be wiped off the face of the earth. Good job, so-called Progressives!

For a long time, I followed Michael Moore because, you know, he was funny and he said some good things. But it was Gaza Gaza Gaza all the time, and he was furious that Kamala Harris didn’t make a bigger deal out of it when she was running for president. Well, it’s very interesting because Biden brokerd a cease-fire in Lebanon and has been working, along with Kamala, to get a two state solution in Israel. And I waited for Michael Moore to say something. And I waited. And I waited. And I finally realized he likes to yell, but he doesn’t like to give credit for anything good that happens. Another idol has crashed to the ground. And I feel a lot healthier.

I used to respect Michael Moore as well, but he has outed himself as a useless, sanctimonious clown this past year. Time for him to choke to death on a cheeseburger.

I didn’t want to feel the same way you do about Michael. I once had a healthy respect for him. That’s water under the bridge now. He’s way past his shelf life and should quietly take a flying leap off the Matterhorn. You know, the one in Canada that Trump’s AI generated.

He’s partially responsible for Trump’s re-what ever you want to call it.

Canceled my Substack subscription to him when he insisted Joe Biden step aside.

MM is a "Look at me!" narcisissist.

I had a similar experience with Young Turks back when the maga nightmare started & though I didn’t know half of this, it was Cenk that turned me off most. Hope he chokes on his hypocrisy

He's a well known, misogynistic pig.

It’s apparent this guy Uygur wants to burn everything down. Sorry, but I totally disagree with that approach. With guys like Uygur as supposed friends, the Democrats don’t need any enemies. Bottom line, beware of friends with their knives out like Uygur.

I never thought of him as a friend to liberals, more like some kind of chaos agent.

I ditched TYT years ago after they wasted an entire segment on something as absurd as Facebook jealousy. Ana was ranting about how she hated seeing good news from her friends but didn’t want to hear their sob stories. And I’m sitting there thinking—what kind of person even thinks this way? I’m on social media to celebrate my friends’ wins, support them in tough times, and not wallow in petty grievances.

As for Cenk, I can’t stand him either. He’s like Jill Stein 2.0 when splitting votes, but somehow worse. And don’t get me started on his takes—he once claimed people flock to Trump because he’s funny as if that’s a good reason to hand someone the nuclear codes. He’s a chaos agent, whether he means to be or not, and I’ve had it with these assholes.

I would watch TYT every now and then until I got turned off by Cenk’s proselytizing. I lmao when he lost his election to CA 25th district having garnered maybe 6% of voters.

He is worse than Jill Stien IMHO--trying to siphon off Dem votes.

Thank you! And what jerk names his outfit after the men who carried out the Armenian Genocide?

“When he had” a show on MSNBC and then didn’t-he made a big deal out of leaving the show for his “morals” and how much “better” he was than Rachel Maddow🤯

I watched his YouTube show for a little while-but didn’t care for his “shtick” and left him far behind!!

This article explains better than I ever could and made connections I never would have thought of!!!

Thank you for the information!

Why I no longer support Bernie Sanders after having voted for him. He claims to be a progressive but doesn't do anything except bash the democratic party. I would really hope AOC or maybe Jasmine Crockett would become the new voice and face of progressives. Bernie needs to sit his old ass down somewhere with his Dems are out of touch with the working class people but first in line to kiss Trump's and Musk's ass. I stopped watching the young Turks once I saw where Uygur was heading with that network. It was the end of Trump's term and all he did was talk about how awful the democratic candidates were kinda seemed to me he was secretly hoping Trump got reelected. In a 2 party system like America if you are actively opposing one party but not openly supporting the other party you actually are still supporting them. He is a snake IMO. What the legacy media is doing also lately saying everything that is wrong with the democratic party but are okay with the shit show that's the modern GOP.

Cenk is a misogynist from way back so, of course he wanted the dumpsterfire to win.

I love it when you excoriate the ratfuckers, Justin! Keep doing it! I hope their ears burn and their fucking hair catches on fire. That is all for now.

I watched some TYT during Drumpf's first arson attempt and gave up after getting whiplash from trying to see whose side they were actually on. Now I'm like Cenk who? Oh. Yeah. That dipshit.

Thanks to assholes like Uygur who probably voted for useful idiot for Russia, Jill Stein or some other 3rd party asshole, we have trump.

Can’t wait to see how voting their “conscious” or some other bullshit holds up when Kushner builds beach front condos in Gaza after they’re wiped out.

They'll blame the dems as always, never the rat-fuckers that are responsible.

OK, I’m gonna be the bitch who points this out. What do all the names in this article and comments have in common?

They’re all white men. Mostly old (hopefully dying) white men.

And all I’m left with is the idea that, when it really comes down to it, all the other morals and ideals go out the fucking window if they’re ever asked to move against a fellow white man.

I used to like that guy, he has gone to the dark side and can fuck all the way off.

Cenk is another Bill Maher! Whiney crybaby and Fascist lover if any Democrat disagrees with him. And he claims to have the largest left wing audience? I think not! That sounds trumpian to me. And also thinks his ideas for pentagon should be front & center for every democrat.Sucker thinks Musk will listen to him! 😂
