(295,926 posts)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. Kollers posts degrade what it means to be a Justice Democrat, Justice Democrats executive director Saikat Chakrabarti said in a Friday evening statement announcing the boards decision to demand Uygur and Kollers resignations. We do not feel that Mr. Uygur is fit to lead or participate in an organization that truly believes womens issues and the issues of black and brown people are all of our issues.
The Justice Democrats board reached its decision to call for their departures after hearing Uygurs side of the story and consulting with the political candidates the group has endorsed, Chakrabarti said.

(58,785 posts)If everyone who didn't wonder before why Sanders fights the progressive party and feels it doesn't make much difference if Republicans win started questioning that now, THAT would be personal progress.
No, I don't have the answer, I haven't read a psychological profile and examination of motives, but the constantly repeated claim itself is de facto outrageously wrong and therefore either irrational or dishonest, or both.

(37,364 posts)When someone trashes those who should be natural allies in a manner that aids an adversary, that person is a fraud. Uygur is a tool used against the one party looking to the future. Tired of being told that Democrats do not believe in justice or equality by demagogues who mouth formulaic populism but have histories of misogynistic and racist utterances. We will not be destroyed by these people.

Hortensis
(58,785 posts)I'm all in with the determination, and certainly if this little faction operated alone, not a chance.
But with their goals and actions aligning with those of the incredibly more powerful Republican Party, and those of Putin, who aspires to unite them with the right into a destructive force?
For sure we can say that they cannot possibly win power for themselves, but those involved, populists and LW dissidents who now parrot that they want socialism but don't know what that is, are either incapable of understanding what they're actually empowering or are fine with it.
Thank goodness for the messages of the midterms.

Do you have a link to that Cenk?
You were a Republican. Then an Independent then in 2016 you became a Democrat.
party
Republican (before 2000)
Independent (20002016)
Democratic (2016present)
As a young man, Uygur supported social conservative views, opposing abortion, affirmative action and feminism in the United States. Over time his views changed, and he now identifies as a progressive.
Progressives an new born
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cenk_Uygur
"Smeared by corporate Dems and media". Lol.
Decades of work? Link, Cenk. You have been in 3 parties. One was not progressive. Becoming an Independent can mean many things since they can have right and left leaning views. You only joined the Democratic party, which you smear, in 2016. That is not a decade.

(25,136 posts)Um, Cenk? That's exactly what you've done to Democrats for years. And the character assassination. When you say Democrats aren't progressive -- you can't talk about their policies because they ARE progressive, so you lie about it and attack their character.
And YOU'RE the media.

No to bestiality
No to blaming other Dems or the media for *your* actions.
Bernie was right to retract.
Apologize and you are on the road to building bridges and mending fences.
Blame others for your actions, and everyone thinks that you refuse to accept blame for your own actions resulting in no forgiveness and no healing.
Admit what you did and get on with your life, or continue to live in the sewer. It is your choice.

(377 posts)I find it ironic that this seat is a woman that had unconsenting pictures of her posted as revenge porn replaced by this creep. She lost her job. Since Cenk boldly tells us that waving his dick is natural to attract the other gender and youth/looks are so important to him, I wonder how many pictures are out there and who they were sent to.
And whether Sanders finds all these possibilities insignificant because Cenk has spent the last decade attacking the Democratic Party.
Since 2015 our world has shifted so. Right up there with the religious right claiming Trump was sent by God. But then, Sanders had the bird on the podium, so there is that.

(42,862 posts)Frankly, I think it's not enough for BS to simply "withdraw" his endorsement. He needs to reject, refute and disavow Cenk. Anyone who remains silent (no matter who he or she may be) is showing their approval. Cenk is a vile, wretched and disgusting waste of flesh. Even the anti-Democrat group known as "Justice Democrats" doesn't want anything to do with him.

In these electorally dangerous times, and with all the baggage he's created, I don't understand how Sanders can be doing as well as he is, ahead of Democratic candidates with good records who don't hurt insults at Democratic voters at every appearance. To the point that I don't believe it. It doesn't ring true to me.

(58,785 posts)fringe out there, also not that big (the left doesn't do active extremism nearly as well and big as the right), that's always seen Sanders as a phony because he's voted "establishment" Democrat for decades to keep his cushy job. Did Russia mobilize some of them against the Democrats through Sanders? And/or manipulate data in other ways?
There's this bizarre business of many people saying they like Sanders or one of the people he loudly calls corrupt. Sanders or Biden, Sanders or Booker, Sanders or Tim Ryan, Sanders or Klobuchar. Just plain nuts, doesn't make sense.
