  1. Yeah Idk that's a tough call. To be fair to Cenk, I'm pretty sure he supported Dennis Kucinich in the primary to defeat Richard Cordray and now it's just a race to see which Democrat or Republican will win unfortunately, so I see where Cenk is coming from saying it will just lead to DeWine winning. Morally though he should probably support her, but it's a tough call because she doesn't have the slightest chance at winning in the first place. This is why primaries are the most important time to vote.

  2. +MrBrokenazs - Seems to me it's the Ohio voters who fucked this one up, just like the voters in West Virginia decided to elect a garbage clown like Joe Manchin over Swearengin. I don't know when people are going to stop electing corporate shills, but it ultimately falls on the American people why we have such trash in our government in the first place and why we have a reality TV host as a president right now and why Diane Feinstein is able to run for her 112th term in the Senate.

  3. DemEnter for Bernie Sanders at the very least. Idk about all you, but I want Bernie to win in 2020. I'm not currently registered as a Democrat, but I plan to well before the DNC starts using voter suppression tactics in 2020.

  4. +Lucas Pompey - It's not voter shaming to remind people to vote in the primary since most people continually forget that that primaries are usually the most important vote you have in this day and age of big money corruption to ensure we don't end up with more Trump vs Hillary elections where we're forced to choose between the lesser of two evils. I wasn't even talking to you specifically, I was saying broadly "people need to vote in the primaries" if you want worthy candidates in a general. Voter shaming would be me saying "How dare you throw away your vote on a Green candidate" or "How dare you vote for someone you perceive as the lesser of two evils". Everyone has their right to vote for whoever they want, which is why I disagree with both Sam Seder and Jimmy Dore when they voter shame in opposite directions for different reasons, but I don't have any problem pointing out that it's still the fault of the Ohio voters for voting for the less populist candidate in the primary, which is exactly the same reason why Joe Manchin is running in the Senate again in WV instead of Paula Jean Swearengin.

  5. He's giving the Green a platform though, which is something nobody else would do in media.

  6. Yeah she is, but she doesn't have a chance at winning. It should've been Dennis Kucinich that won the primary.

  7. Then go vote in the primaries where the voting is most important.

  8. +Lucas Pompey - No I think they made it clear that if the 3rd Parties would poll better with people and had a decent chance at winning, they would vote for them, but most Green candidates just don't have a chance in hell. It's not an easy decision to make but don't blame +SleepingMudkip for why the system is so fucked, because they're just trying to vote best for their interests. Stop voter shaming. This is why Dem primaries are so important as well, because it could've been Dennis Kucinich, a bold progressive, as the lead contender in the race instead of Cordray but now its down to the lesser evil shit because some people couldn't get off their asses to vote for the progressive in the primary.

  9. +MrBrokenazs - Like how Ocasio-Cortez "died on her sword as a Democrat" in New York? Dennis Kucinich likely ran as a Democrat because he wanted to win the general election, not just fall on his sword by slightly splitting the leftist vote and awarding the governorship to DeWine. Dennis Kucinich was the best candidate out of everyone in the race, so I find your comment seriously condescending the fact that you think he 'threw his candidacy away' by running in the party you disagree with. The party that almost nearly elected Bernie Sanders, a lifelong Independent, in 2016. The Democratic Party has a million different problems with it, but in my opinion, it's the fastest way to victory for progressives like it or not. Even if you think the DNC and DCCC is rigged against progressives in their primaries, it's still far MORE rigged to run as a 3rd party candidate in America.

  10. Then people should've been out in the primary and voted for Dennis Kucinich who was the real progressive who could've been the contender. It's the voters who fucked this up and now progressives are just dealing with damage control by the general as always. If you want real change get your ass up and go vote in the primaries to direct who the two main contenders will be in the general.

  11. Bernie 2020 or Bust. Jill's never even held political office past being on a town council. Bernie's been the longest serving Independent in Congress and has decades of experience. Maybe if Bernie somehow gets fucked over again, but I seriously doubt it this time around. He's got all the momentum in his corner for 2020.
