Cenk Uygur Launches A "New Wing" Of Democratic Party; ... Justice Democrats

'The Young Turks' host Cenk Uygur announced a new political movement during Monday’s show to answer a broken and corporate Democratic party. Uygur, Progressive host, Kyle Kulinski, and former Bernie Sanders staffers, Zack Exley and Saikat Chakrabarti, are the co-founders of Justice Democrats - which aims to support and advance policy platforms that have stalled within the Democratic party. The candidates that run under Justice Democrats will not be funded by corporate donors. Instead, it will be sourced and funded by the people.

“The Democrats used to represent something wonderful - voters,” Uygur said in his announcement, listing all the victories made possible by, “Strong Progressives.”

But he says that lately, Democrats haven’t lived up to their party’s ideals, “There was a hostile takeover. Multinational corporations decided, ‘hey you know what we need the Supreme Court on our side,’” Uygur says, providing context on how the Democratic party started to bow down to corporations.

He mentions a $12 trillion shift in wealth to the top 1% in the past 40 years.
That sounds a little more serious.

I wish him success.

At least Cenk Uygur was smart enough to vote for Hillary Clinton (and urge his viewers to vote for Hillary Clinton) and not be part of the far-left that handed the election to trump.

Because of her gender - that's it.

Look at these morons

Look how Ana Kasperian calls everyone that supported Trump a moron.

This summarizes perfectly why the left lost.

Exactly. Disparage 60+ million americans and who knows how many more abroad that support populist movements - then display your bigotry on a youtube for everyone to see. The only thing that is missing is Ana taking the moral highroad... oh wait ...

So by all means grassroots, you already have a challenge selling cultural marxism and identity politics to millions of individuals, why not act like a complete fecking bigot to drive that point home? :shakeshead:

One concern is whether Justice Democrats would just end up getting co-opted by establishment Democrats. At this point, one cannot factually know the answer. I have been feeling that there is need to start a replacement party.

Cenk Uygur's Rousing Speech On Getting Money Out of Politics
Apparently he gave other rousing things too.....

Progressive Group Ousts Cenk Uygur Over Past Sexist Writing

The Justice Democrats ousted Cenk Uygur, one of its founding board members and a creator of progressive online network The Young Turks, following the Thursday revelation that Uygur had authored sexist blogposts in the early 2000s.

The left-leaning political organization, which Uygur and others established this year to support progressive primary challenges against Democratic incumbents in Congress, made the announcement Friday. The group also severed ties with David Koller, who co-founded The Young Turks with Uygur and served as Justice Democrats’ treasurer. A 2004 blogpost in which Koller used degrading language about women he and Uygur met on a road-trip surfaced this week as well.

“The words and conduct in Mr. Uygur and Mr. Koller’s posts degrade what it means to be a Justice Democrat,” Justice Democrats executive director Saikat Chakrabarti said in a Friday evening statement announcing the board’s decision to demand Uygur and Koller’s resignations. “We do not feel that Mr. Uygur is fit to lead or participate in an organization that truly believes women’s issues and the issues of black and brown people are all of our issues.”

I'm sure if anything comes of this, he will man up
and face the music. But until then, as far as I'm concerned his network is one of the sharpest, most informative teams of broadcast investigative journalists and reporters out there.

And I will continue to follow them as will a growing number of others who are
sick of the lies and propaganda from the corporate-owned MSM.
