I know people here hate The Hill and Cenk Uygur

But this is just dumb.

There are plenty of factual issues one can point to in order to make the case that he's a bad candidate, not a Dem, whatever. Since there is so much actual evidence one could use, there's no reason to stretch the truth, reach, spin, etc.

I'm worried about a lot of political newbies being fed a steady diet of blanket distrust for the media and both siderism.

8. When people like Cenk run, it opens the door for such shenanigans.

They should just stick to his extreme inconsistencies and very creepy behavior.

She accused Rachel Maddow and MSNBC of fabricating "Russian conspiracies" in the pursuit of ratings and said that they did more harm to Democrats' chances of beating Trump in 2020 than anything Trump has ever done.

She's a hack with zero credibility. No, thanks.

responsible for the words that come out of his mouth. These weren't teenage indiscretions but the words of an adult man made out loud and in public over a long period of time.

selected candidates even in the most benign and constructive way, hmm?
Even if I disagree with the likes of Cenk in some incremental matter, I'll take his commentary in stride, glad he largely gives the right wing charlatans no quarter whatsoever.

I would hope you disagree with his long-term, overt misogyny a little more than incrementally.

Just because someone is ostensibly on "our" side and calls out Republicans doesn't mean they get a pass on offensive behavior.

Why was he amplifying David Duke in the fist place? He also amplified a Turkish reporter who was trashing Obama wearing blackface.

That is like calling a Black person the n-word, an Italian the w-word, of a Hispanic thes-word, it does nothing but try to remove that person's humanity and accomplishments, it should always be met with virulent opposition.
