Current Events > Nephew of Sanders Endorsed Cenk calling journalists C-words

(+) Yeah! (+)

Sins of the nephew is a bit of a stretch.

I have some seriously fucked up cousins but it would be absurd to apply any of their actions to my mom.

does your mom directly employ your nephew for your moms news network?

She's offered to pay for his vasectomy if it meant he would stop having kids.

But no.

I mean you've certainly had no problem bitching about "cancel culture" before, but here you are trying to implicate Bernie Sanders because someone who's a relative of a politician he gave an endorsement to said a mean word on a video game website

I criticized Bernie for endorsing him; I didnt cancel or say he doesnt deserve your vote for his shitty choice. You can criticize politicians for making choices you disagree with, even if you like them

When you use the actions of someone's nephew in order to criticize an (unrelated) person's endorsement but won't criticize the actual actions of other candidates and instead give them money lmao

Bernie's nephew's views have nothing to do with him as a candidate. His views on Cenk calling journalists the c-word is irrelevant.

Your constant sidebusting of useless commentary is so sad. Either bring up some specific points or go frolic somewhere else lol

Not gonna go through the whole song and dance with what is wrong with Kamala's and Buttigieg's past but this being a point against Bernie for you while you arduously defended the other two's past actions is telling to say the least.

You criticized Bernie because someone related to a politician he gave an endorsement did a mean thing on a video game site. Unless we're going to try and pretend now that you had no intention of using this topic to implicate bernie in your bitching about this?

I criticized someone who employs a dipshit making misogynistic comments as a journalist and brought up how that person was endorsed (and half-heartedly) unendorsed by a presidential candidate.

Hardly doing the most and I don't need to cliffnotes every time I've seen you defend the shit both of those candidates have done if you're going to continue the mental gymnastics. Just be more self aware I guess

you didn't "criticize" anyone since all you did was copy and paste someone else's tweet. The only place you even mentioned Cenk was in your topic title, and by that logic, you were being equally critical of Sanders.

Yeah, because Sanders unendorsement honestly sucked and this happened this week. But this wouldnt stop me from voting from Sanders. Its a dumb choice and the egg should be on his (and Khanas face) for playing with this clown show.

And it's a ridiculous notion that Sanders and Cenk should equally share criticism over who Cenk employs at his network, let alone share equal criticism over what that employee says on his twitch stream that isn't controlled by that network.

I'm sure TC is far from the first person to try and implicate Sanders in Piker's comments. But the fact that it's coming from someone that has no issue bemoaning cancel culture or twitter outrage mobs when it suits him is laughable.

I agree with you 100%, The blame on Sanders is minuscule compared to the other two.

Eh. Idk. I think its unacceptable for a journalist to be using the c word unapologetically to describe other journalists in present time. But thats me.

Seems bad, imo

ty. I am aware enough to know I do this to myself by choosing an inflammatory title, but hope it gets some people to have some discourse within themselves a little

lol see thats all that needs to be said. Then we can move onto better topics

This is a stretch of momentous proportions. Congratulations

Voting for Bernie even harder now btw

If he didn't want his commentary on Sanders to be part of the discussion, he shouldn't have brought him up.

But you do think the politicians who endorse the person who employ that journalist should share accountability for him using the c-word?

in a tiny way yes, because this behavior has been common with him and cenk. But in the tiniest way; as long as he doesnt pal around with him anymore Im gucci.

shockthemonkey posted...

He did want Sanders to be part of the discussion and we were able to discuss it. Youre the one who is dead set on bitching about the title instead of discussing the topic. Why is this so hard to understand?

His title was literally his only form of actual editorial in the OP. Maybe he should elaborated more on the issues he actually wanted to discuss instead of relegating it so snippy commentary in his title if he actually wanted to control the scope of the conversation.

fair enough; Im on mobile and most of my topics are for discussion so I get lazy. But then it leads to this. Lol. Noted.

so to what extent should all the behaviors of all the people connected to politicians Sanders has endorsed does he bear responsibility for?

This was answered. Are you looking for a rubric?

take a look at that quote from uygur in the tweet. he's not normal.

I'm asking for consistency on whether or not we want to engage in callout cutlure
[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


and most of the posts before then also were about Sanders or the topic title. stop getting butthurt at me because people aren't taking discussion of TC's shitpost in the direction you'd like them to.

Except I gave the example....for this. Why are you ignoring it?

But that has nothing to do with you getting outraged about Sanders for the comments Piker made.

great, then hopefully now when the twitter outrage mobs come after someone for an inane reason, we can expect to see you marching alongside them

does anyone else find it wrong for ferrer to link uygur and his nephew? he did not make the exact claim uygur did. she would probably accuse the son of a rapist father of being a criminal, which is downright unscientific.

No, I think targeting someone because that person endorsed someone that employs that journalist on a show they didn't even make the comments on in the first place is inane.

You only admitted he had a tiny blame when I pressed you as to why you used this topic to implicate him in the first place.
