Ol' Joe B

I JUST dont get how so many people are snowed by that orange shitstain of humanity. They are going to vote their freedom away in the name of Freedom...smh.

Biden is not a psychopath and has at least tried to make improvements given the corrupt Rep politicians in Congress

That shit where they voted down the border deal for Trump to have talking points is unconscionable

Day 1 of Biden's Presidency they had an Immigration Bill-They voted it down. Not sure why they dont remind them of that constantly

^ I think guys are as slanted as Fox News sometimes.

Have they ever said a "good thing" about any type of Biden/Democratic achievement or is it always "yeah but...?"

Seems to me they just Mother F everybody and stompt their feet.

Dude he CANNOT be President unless The Constitution is changed...

Come on man.

TYT has their format and it works for them just like FOX/Alex Jones/etc. have their (similar) formats that cater to their specific audience. I think there's a difference between hiding an inconvenient fact and not mentioning an inconvenient fact. The former is more malignant and the latter more benign. You can choose not to reveal an inconvenient (or any) fact and still be 100% truthful.

In the case of TYT video the polling they're focusing on may be 100% true, but the inconvenient fact (to their argument) they're not mentioning is the rise in support of women, or some other demographic that's improved for the Dems. Not surprising and nothing wrong with political pundits focusing on facts that bolster or make their argument while ignoring facts that do the opposite, like how pundits cherry pick and choose what they want to focus on to support their argument that the economy is either doing well or sucks; no matter which, all the facts used to make their respective arguments might be 100% truthful.

I also notice their primary focus seems to be on certain facts and not what they mean in a larger context or even acknowledging that larger context.

What are all the people who tell pollsters they're disappointed in the Dems going to do on election day? Vote Republican, stay home, or hold their nose and vote for their best (imperfect) option? Are the disappointed responding to a seemingly interested "pollster" willing to listen (but whose only interest is to complete the survey in order to get paid - I once worked in political polling when I was a slacker) as a way to blow off steam? Have the disappointed left, never to return? Have they actively switched sides?

They're not lying when they state that certain campaign promises remain unfulfilled, but they're not mentioning the inconvenient fact that nothing happens within a bubble, a president has to get their proposals through both houses of Congress, and right now the House is extremely hostile. Trump didn't build his wall and the parts he did weren't paid for by Mexico. His supporters were disappointed. Did they vote for Biden because of that disappointment, stay home, or figure Trump was the better option over Biden and voted Trump despite their disappointments?

In principal I agree with their point of view, but TYT have their way of talking about things which is similar to right wing media; complain. Focus on the negative without mentioning the inconvenient facts of a divided government. No focus on anything positive that's happened or offer any realistic solutions. Suggesting the Dems need to do X without mentioning that the GOP will never let X pass the House isn't a realistic solution. Does Cenk think that he, or Marianne Williamson, or anyone else would be able to get all of their proposals/promises through Congress and passed? If so, how would they be able to where others have failed? It's far easier to be a critic, complainer, or the opposition than it is to actually govern and get things done.

They don't focus on the inconvenient (to their argument) fact that Trump is actively opposed to policies they favor and will be the far worse option. What do they think Trump would do re: Israel/Palestinians given another opportunity? What do they think Trump would do on virtually any other topic of importance? Idealism is great, but it has it's time and place. TYT seems to be stuck in their idealism and complaining and not all that interested in taking a realistic approach; a left wing version of those in right wing media who propose refusing to compromise at all because they get more mileage out of their idealism and are less interested in doing what it takes to move the ball forward. They only want home runs. No singles or walks to get closer to their objectives. And if they can't have everything they want they're going to complain about it. I get it. It makes for a more compelling show and gives like minded people an opportunity to agree and blow off their own steam. Unfortunately, at this point it only serves to strengthen Trump and the right wing and weaken the imperfect, but better of two options. The time for progressives to try to get an an alternative candidate to Biden has passed - the reality (barring extraordinary circumstances) is it ain't happening or it already would have. Right now it's either Biden or Trump. That's an inconvenient fact.

Plan B?

He'd have to voluntarily bow out and from what the article says, Biden has a pretty large ego from being elected to the Senate in his 20's and finally winning the presidency. Makes sense, esp. if thinks only he alone can beat Trump. Why an 81 year old would want to run for and be president for four more years as opposed to bowing out, having a legacy that ends with being the guy who beat Trump and was the transition to the next generation of leadership is beyond me.

Republican lite.
