1. Sanders needs to hustle if he expects to be our party's nominee.

I have to say though... mistakes like endorsing the bestiality promoter/defender isn't the best way to gain supporters. In fact, I think that things like that will end up hurting him in the long run.

All I'm saying is, if BS expects to "recover" for the Cenk-defending-horse-sex-abuse controversy, then Bernie needs to CONDEMN him for the disgusting and sickening and perverted things that were said.

This is a leadership test. Will Bernie pass it? I hope so. Time will tell.

4. You are correct. The endorsement was refused... it wasn't a "retraction".

You are correct. The endorsement was refused... it wasn't a "retraction". Bernie didn't take-back something of value or something that was wanted or desired by Cenk. (If it was something that Cenk wanted, I guess he would have needed to give him a pony.)

In any case, Cenk's "refusal" of the endorsement make it easy for Bernie. What's needed now is for Bernie to condemn Cenk for his disgusting comments and defense/advocation of bestiality. And I must say, Cenk's "whinnying" horse-impersonation... trying to convey a sexually satisfied horse... was VOMIT INDUCING.

Cenk is sick. Totally disgusting. A mentally-ill pervert. He needs help.


Which one is Cenk?

8. Yikes! That changes EVERYTHING, doesn't it? He LIED!

In addition to be a misogynist, and bestiality defender/advocate... he's also a liar. It really speaks poorly of anyone who would endorse him, or "not" endorse him. Cenk has really screwed-the-pooch on this one (so to speak and pardon the pun.)

Uygur said Sanders’ was the only endorsement he had requested from a presidential candidate...


He asked for the endorsement, and only made his decision to "not accept endorsements" AFTER he accepted them and the whole thing blew up in their faces.

10. Cenk is a liar. And a bestiality-rights advocate, apparently. This is going to hurt Bernie and Cenk.

gravely mistaken. We'll see how he does, but I think the retraction is acceptable to most of his supporters who were demanding it, including the California Young Democrats.

11. Bernie has said "I retract my endorsement."
Fri Dec 13, 2019, 09:13 PM
Dec 2019

I think that means he retracted it. Unless there is anotehr step he has to go through to retract it? The endorsements were rejected and he also retracted his.

“However, our movement is bigger than any one person. I hear my grassroots supporters who were frustrated and understand their concerns. Cenk today said he is rejecting all endorsements for his campaign, and I retract my endorsement.”

But he still retracted it, even if it was late....

Cenk is radioactive. I'm so sorry for ever thinking he was worth voting for and I thank DUers for opening my eyes before making a terrible mistake in March. Hope to see him drop out of the race ASAP
