But he was such a young child when he was writing/saying gross misogynistic things and denying the Armenian Genocide! /s

If Bernie is this amazing person...then why does he keep doing this shitty stuff over and over and over and over and over and over and over?
Once is an instance. Twice is a hobby. Thirty nine times is a way of life.
Every time I'm like "Ugh, if it has to be Bernie...fine" he does something dumb. I should just say this on loop until he drops out again.
This is a really good example of the sort of ethics violations that result from someone who runs a media outlet running for office. Both Cenk and Sanders should be ashamed.
I was about to say this was an unrelated topic but Bernie just endorsed Cenk Uygur, so...
Man, I gotta vent. I just had an unproductive discussion with a bernie bro friend of mine about why I don't like Tulsi Gabbard and it ISN'T because the Democratic party establishment is out to get her because she dared to ruffle feathers in 2016 to protect Bernie. At least he was willing to listen to my sounding out that no, it's because she made choices as a grown adult woman that are questionable at best and homophobic/anti muslim at worst. And when someone makes these "questionable" choices consistently, it's probably because they're not a good human being. It's just all this is most likely not productive because I don't think it'll change his mind, and it irks me that people I respect (and don't respect) will cape for this cultist because they're trying to hop on a populist message.

Bernard Bernarding. What a surprise.
The hat.
The suit.
The hair.
The sass.
LOVE. HER.

Because he values loyalty over everything else and it bites him in the ass. It's infuriating. I think the guy has some good aspects, but it's hard to wholeheartedly support him because of shit like you're talking about.
He was in his 40s when he would talk to his co-workers about whether or not he would be in incest porn, that he only started lusting after Cynthia Nixon after learning she was bisexual, that he'd love to be single and in Japan to have sex with all their single women, that in his thirties he wrote that women were genetically flawed, that he should be able to feel a woman's "tits" by the third date, and so on... all while the seat he is running for is because a woman had to bail because of revenge porn.
Lets also not forget he is also a misogynist
This this this
Ignoring all the personal issues, carpet-bagging will hurt you a ton in a local general election. Voters do not like that.

Oh, the stuff has disavowed and apologized for years ago. Yeah, don't care.
Dems are impeaching Trump, therefore he's entitled to a third term... for some reason. No idea how Comey and the Media come into play.
Christy Smith is going to win the primary. He'll be a non-factor in the general.
I really do think Democrats dropped the ball by not including an Article of Impeachment for bribery or extortion.
Who gets to be the judge of whether Cenk has evolved? Why is your judgement more relevant than mine? What specific actions has he taken to show his contrition and make amends? Also, you know, what about the Seth Rich stuff?
He has apologized and disavowed his previous statements. That's what I am basing my judgment on.
I think people should be weary of supposed progressives who do about-faces on incel-lite misogyny and genocidal denials in a few years time when they have been grown adults for decades, but ok.
This is really unsurprising, as Cenk had Bernie on his show countless times. It's a good endorsement. Ultimately the voters of CA-25 will have to decide whether or not the man's past problematic comments are a problem.
That's it? So basically it's impossible for anybody to ever be a racist or a sexist. They just have to say sorry and the slate is clean. Progressive!
How is it good to endorse a misogynistic conspiracy theorist who is also a genocide denier?
If you want to die on the sword like what rhymes with hero on Cenk of all people be my guest.
Cenk is awful.
Cenk is awful.
Nah they have been floating that bullshit for a while now.
Yes, Bernie likes to reward loyalty above anything else. That's not a good quality in a person.
I'm just glad the majority of people don't function like you never forgive never forget types. If that were the case, the world would be an even uglier place right now.
Nothing says evolving like leveraging your media empire to buy yourself access to power.
Exit polls are showing a majority win for the conservatives in the UK election. I'm no expert in UK politics, but god damn...
The histories that are written about this era in 20 years will be absolutely fascinating. The Western World decided to burn itself down.

You misread what I said. It's a good endorsement for Cenk to get. I'm not claiming it's a good idea for Bernie to give his endorsement in this race, though.
I won't speak to the rest of that.
at least Cenk doesn't sit on his ass complaining on an inter forum all day.
Good point, what this word needs is less men in positions of power be held, in any way, accountable for their actions.
Turns out the west just couldn't shake that racism thing.
I didn't say never forgive never forget. I said, pretty explicitly, that I want to know what specifically Cenk has done to prove his apology isn't just empty words. You said, equally directly, that you don't expect him to ever back up their apologies with actions -- he said sorry and that's fine by you.
That's a bad position! It is explicitly how racism and sexism become normalized in our society!
No, the part I specifically quoted. Who named him to what likely fictional organization?
For sure, he buys political endorsements. All I did today was care for my disabled wife.
An apology isn't just something you say by the way. It's not a fucking magic spell that you just need to utter. A real apology is a Reims of actions that demonstrate that you understand what you did and who you hurt.
