    Oh now they have a problem with TYT? Where have they been the last eight years? It didn’t tip them off that TYT were not actual leftists when they endorsed and cheered for neocon war criminal Hillary Clinton to win the 2016 election? When they jumped enthusiastically on the Russiagate bandwagon? Or when they literally engaged in union busting against their own employees? I guess better late than never to wake up, but i have serious doubts about the judgement of anyone who until this recently still thought TYT were “progressives”.

      Cenk said he had a great deal of respect for John McCain. Those who trust him on any issue are far from leftists. Bernie Sanders is regarded as a revolutionary by all of them. They always refer to themselves as “progressives” which means nothing. That word is purely liberal. It provides little information, and there is never any explanation for it.

      One of my most shameful moments in my history was when I was a paid TYT subscriber. In my defense, this was YEARS ago when I was still a liberal, TYT had just started and I thought they were cutting-edge “progressives”. I thought that was as left as you could possibly be politically.

      I got better, but I will never fully live down the shame.

        What’s important is that you’ve outgrown that phase and hopefully not just over the last year or so like some who are just now apparently waking up.
