‘Young Turks’ host Cenk Uygur announces primary bid against Biden

He did an interview a couple weeks ago where he basically announced this. Hosts were taken by surprise, thinking he was joking at first.

I honestly haven't watched more than 15 minutes of TYT total in my life, so I have no opinion on the guy. But I wish him well

 

Delusional.

 

What a clown.

 

I want Joe Rogan instead.

 

I never been elected to any public office.

I have no idea how government actually works.

I do not have a political pod cast.

But I do have the best political opinions!

Naturally I should run for some office.

Go Big or Go Home. @No Worries for Emperor of the United Federation of Planets!!!



What could go wrong?

 

Does he have a book to sell?

New line of steak knives or udemy courses?

I already smashed that like and subscribed.

 

Good luck on winning the "natural born" argument. Somehow I get the feeling it won't even get close enough for this to be an issue.

 

The first. Yes. And he's been working it pretty hard. "That earthquake in Wherever reminds me of, oh, I don't know, the book I just released...."

 

Lol.

 

The state of the Democratic Party…

and the sad part is he’d do better than sleepy joe

 

This move makes no cenks.

 

Which is probably what he's banking on. TYT have a following, and have done a decent job thus far of getting carried on streaming services to expand their reach which is great. Progressive media outlets are very much needed, and happy that they do what they do, and hope he's able to do it even more.

However as it pertains to the presidency, it looks like he's really just looking for exposure, and being opportunistic.

He's also very much off on Biden only having a 10% chance of winning. I'd say it's closer to 65% but the 35% chance that Trump wins should scare the living bejesus out of anyone who cares about Democracy.

 

Agreed Biden has a slightly better than 50% chance against Trump. Against Haley or De Santis Biden is definitely beatable due to desire of the public to have a less feasible president.

 

You mean less feeble? Sure I guess, but I don't think people really care much about age honestly, and it's just about wanting something new, and different since as a society we are just wired that way.

I also think most Americans love socially to portray themselves as independent, free thinkers, who are versatile, and will just make good decisions all the time about everything.... which sounds great until it comes to politics here in America. How many times have you heard someone say "I'm socially liberal, but fiscally conservative." That's a great line, but practically it makes no sense given where the right is in its policies.

So yeah, I think Nikki Haley especially would beat Biden pretty handily in 2024 because of the mix of wanting something new, and the ability for those independents, and liberals who want to be socially versatile to be able to say that they are leftist shills for the Dems. Look at me I voted for Biden in 2020 because Trump was evil, but then I voted for Haley because the Democrats need to be held in check economically, etc. etc. I can already hear it now.

Ultimately though a vote for Haley is going to have alot of the same negative impacts on policy as voting for Trump would have. However the one difference is it would likely not mean an end to Democracy, and the left and center of America would live to fight another day at the ballot box. If Trump wins in 2024, every branch of government will get broken by him in an effort to stay in power so he never has to face accountability, and every single Republican left will do everything they can to help him out of fear, and wanting to ensure they are left with something personal to show for their loyalty.

 

Although if Uygur wins the "Natural Born Argument" that might finally end Birtherism..

 

Hahahahahhaah the house of representatives can't even choose a speaker between the party. The GOP is a **** show ran by a dude charges with 93 felony and guilty of sexual assault.

What are you people smoking

 

Cenk and TYT's transformation over the last 20 years has been pretty amazing.

And by amazing, I mean horrendously awful.

But yeah. This goober couldn't even get on the podium in a House race in California. How the **** does he think he's going to put together a credible presidency run in a couple of months? Clown shoes.

 

Yep feeble.
Except for the personal craziness and sociopathy, Haley would be a typical Republican so it would be GOP's typical tax cuts for the rich with a lot of talk about trans, "wokeness" hoards of "bad hombres" etc to lather up the base.
