Are "Justice Democrats" a Cenk Uyger situation?

[Eliot Rosewater]

Didnt he take millions from a rightwinger?

Didnt he promote division in the party during the last election over Hillary?

[MicaelS]

1. WTF are "Justice Democrats" ????? n/t

[crazycatlady]

4. PUrity movement

There's one primarying JOe Manchin right now. I'd rather she run for a lower office and establish credibility.

2. Cenk was a conservative corporate lawyer making a high five figure salary.

He became a multi-millionaire by catering to leftists who want to destroy the Democratic party.

Cui bono ?

[Cha]

3. I think so..

Why do you ask?

7. Supporting people is neither sensible nor pragmatic! n/t

[Bradical79]

32. The slogan really isn't relevant.

"Fair and Balanced", "Democratic Republic of Korea", "Freedom Caucus", etc.

If asking what a group is all about you look at what they do, not what they say.

[JTFrog]

6. Cenk and Bernie staffers.

Kinda ridiculous isn't it?

[Cha]

26. They better not fuck up and lose good people in Congress.

12. Investment bankers making investments?

That's highly irregular.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

15. LOL. it's funny when Sanders supporting groups are just investment backers supporting investments

and not WALL STREET IS EVIL, GET ALL MONEY OUT OF POLITICS!

[JTFrog]

17. The hypocrisy has been astounding in this new year. nt

[Act_of_Reparation]

18. Not as funny as when someone says capital investment and political lobbying are the same thing...

...out loud... in public.

But hey, to each his own.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

19. yeah, i'm sure there is a HUGE difference when it comes to Sanders supporting groups

i am sure this HUGE difference would be really meaningful in other situations

lol

[Act_of_Reparation]

27. The cool thing about facts is they don't change relative to who is talking about them.

Investment differs from lobbying in several key ways. Investment differs from paid advertisement in several key ways. Investment differs from interlocking directorates in several key ways. None of these things are exactly like the other, and anyone insisting that they are qualitatively the same -- regardless of what politician they support -- is an imbecile.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. yes, plus the first candidate they are running is against a progressive. it came up on my twitter

timeline yesterday, let me see if i can find it

[Cha]

13. I read something about that, too..

Was it Lacy something or something Lacy?

The twitter feed was pissed.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

20. they are trying to draft someone to primary lacy

Link to tweet

[La Lioness Priyanka]

21. i found it!

Link to tweet

[Cha]

24. So she is going to run against Lacy Clay?

[Cha]

22. Isn't Lacy Clay pure enough for them?

The tweet I read said he was progressive, too.

[SecularMotion]

14. This will be the method they use to ratfuck Democrats in the 2018 elections

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. only if we let them

[Eliot Rosewater]

28. Their goal is to weaken the party and give everything over to GOP lock, stock and

barrel.

Now the rank and file Justice Democrats dont have that agenda, they are "true believers", but I been around this block before, I know what is happening.

We are so fucked. We meaning liberals, democracy, planet earth.

[Cha]

34. I hear ya.. we just have to beat the Orwellian

assholes.

[Cha]

25. Yeah, I've seen that coming for a month or two.

Purity assholes. "purity" according to them

[Demsrule86]

23. Justice Democrats are primarying Democrats and may cost us any chance of retaking the Senate.

In fact, I blocked them. The latest target is Manchin in WVA. These people waste time and money supporting a candidate who will certainly lose a general in WVA and may weaken Manchin's chances for a victory...disgusting. Consider that Manchin is a reliable vote for us in terms of health care and other important matters despite his conservadem leanings...and this group which was founded by a Sen. Sanders supporter and Cent is primarying Democrats...nothing on their website about Trump just trash talk about Democrats...notice their logo below...smashing the "D" as in Democrats ...I avoid the website and the group...hate them all especially the 'Young Turks Gop money accepting Cent...whatever his last name is'.

[Eliot Rosewater]

29. we need to understand that the true believers just dont know what is happening

But Cenk and others, that I cant name without risking being banned, are working against the party big time and they are either working directly for Putin or might as well be given the result will be the same.

I knew this would happen.

I feel bad for my human family, their future is now totally fucked, if they have one AT ALL.

[Demsrule86]

31. I don't agree...I think may are beginning to see what those who blame Democrats are up to.

We will take back our country in the coming elections.

[Eliot Rosewater]

33. Justice democrats, i.e. Cenk Uyger, are alive and well in many areas.

WV will lose a democrat, for starters when they primary that prick Manchin, but he is our prick.

Nah, this is all part of a very well orchestrated plan and if I named the two leaders of it, one a talk show host the other a senator, i would get in trouble.

Whether they are knowingly helping Putin, I dont know, but they are helping him none the less.

30. Pretty much
