Personally I find him entertaining and seems to be a decent guy.

Ideologically I can get behind his ideas and he has good communication skills. In a perfect world he would be a good president but I don't think 2024 is that year. Trump would ramp up Xenophobia against an agnostic former muslim man.

I feel like Biden is the best candidate to deliver the smackdown on Trump given his record and how much he has accomplished.

Once the Trump nightmare exits stage left hopefully in 2028 we can get Cenk, Nina Turner, AOC, or some other progressive firebrand

Hard no. Him and Ana have taken a really dumb turn lately. Ana went on a wild rant about being called a 'birthing woman' and how 'the Left' needs to chill on that 'identity stuff'. They've both been doing more harm than good lately. I used to have a fair bit more respect for them in that they were more sensible than their former colleague Jimmy Dore, but I really just see them as not very principled socialist clickbait now.

Here's Cenk getting upset about 'progressive activists' too; I think all of these goofy online folks (including Hasan and the host of this show, The Serf Times) get lost in the drama sauce. They spend too much time online. The anecdote he has about being called a "nazi" by the progressive community...if that happened, it definitely happened on Twitter or somewhere where you'll get the entire spectrum of dumb comments.

He would still be from a distance as president. I never met or ran across any US president. They are just a figurehead for the nation. Seeing him scold republican thugs would be hilarious.

Cenk and Kyle Kulinski were the people who vetted and created AOC's political career, as well as 5ish other of the furthest left politicians we have, so they've had a huge political impact past the YouTube sandbox.

I would say they should go back to doing that, but they all hate each other now, leftist YouTubers are like sith lords who will just kill each other if there are too many.

LOL? Cenk has been on numerous leftist youtube shows including the Secular talk with Kyle.

Sam Seder really smart too. So many good potential progressive candidates.

Not recently, Jimmy Dore manipulated Kyle into half-ass defending his sexual harassment allegations and then Cenk basically swore to not speak to Kyle again.

Then Kyle was like "aw man I lost all my friends"

This was after Kyle quit Justice Democrats to stick up for his good friend Cenk.

I'd vote for Kyle Kulinski before Cenk. I like Cenk ok. I agree with a decent enough percentage of his opinions that I would vote for him if he was running, but honestly he strikes me as kind of an asshole. Making fun of the animals are innocent guy repeatedly to the point where they even put him on the soundboard for a while. Making fun of aides for being the Easter bunny for kids, etc.

On the whole I agree with Kyle more often, I think he backs up his points with better data, and he comes off as a nicer guy.

I'll give a serious answer to the topic, though.

It's not that streamers can't run for office and be good at it, it's that their entire lives and every dumb bestiality joke they've ever made is recorded for any news outlet to dig up.

There was nothing more entertaining than watching Carl run for office in England, only to have the most horrible "joke" he's ever made thrown in his face (because he's authentically a terrible person), and because he's so used to the YouTube bubble of no consequences for saying anything he doubled down until the Conservative party publically disowned him.

I can't imagine a scenario where I'd want anyone from TYT running anything of importance. Or anything at all, honestly.

It's nothing more than a PR stunt, because he's not legally eligible to run. You have to be a natural born citizen and he's not. Even if every single voter in the US voted for him as a write-in, he still wouldn't be President.

It's the same reason why when people were talking about Arnold Schwarzenegger running for President years ago it was pointed out that you'd have to amend the Constitution first (which is almost certainly never going to happen). It's also the reason why people made a big stink about the exact details of Obama's birthplace (and wanting to see the birth certificate) - if they could prove he wasn't born on US soil, he was an invalid candidate.

Even John McCain took a bit of flack for that - people pointing out he wasn't physically born in the US (though his loophole was being born on a US military base, which counts as sovereign US soil no matter where it is).

Cenk running is about on par with when the Yippies nominated a pig for President. Or when people nominate Cthulhu. Or when Stephen Colbert nominated himself as a publicity stunt/charity campaign.

Had he only been born in the US, Id say yes if he really wanted to; Im all for people following their aspirations.

But I wouldnt expect his endeavor to go anywhere at all and I certainly wouldnt vote for him.

Maybe go for the actual critique instead of the one calling him both fat and using a racial food reference.

Yogurt is important in Turkish culture. I feel like you probably just lifted the insult from seeing it online, but it comes across as racist. IDK at least to me, it'd be like calling someone a fish-something or rice-something etc because they're nordic or asian or something. There are also obviously other more overt slurs relating to food for Latino people. Actually yeah, now that I look it up, there are a lot of *insert word here* 'eater' type racial slurs.

I'm sorry, Chunk Yogurt was something that Drunken Peasants (Deep Fat Fried) calls him.

I actually am quivered (quakered?) when someone says I said something racist cuz I go into full analysis mode to figure out what I said

Yea I only ever heard it online tbh, but only online spheres know about Cenk. And frankly it's my analysis of the phrase, so take it with a grain of salt. It comes across like fat yogurt eater to me. I don't like the guy but...I'd rather just say he's a dope.

aside, while I don't think he'd be a good president... I do think he should be ALLOWED to; We need to be more cosmopolitan
