  2. Beating Trump is also a low bar yet Democrats are one for two on it and potentially about to be one to three

  6. The point of the free press is to provide a critique of the powerful to create a balance in society. If the powerful have control over it they can now set a narrative that is good for their own goals but not necessarily for the wider public, which can lead that backlash. There are many examples in just recent history for how disastrous this is. If the media was more critical of Bill Clinton and Obama’s trade deals, they could perhaps push them to reform them in a way that was less harmful to manufacturing. A major reason trump won was because of dissatisfied voters who had lost their jobs due to these deals. If the media was more critical of Obama’s Syria policy, they could have perhaps stopped him from funding rebels in Syria, that would have reduced the amount of Syrian refugees, the large amount of them was a major cause of the rise of the far right in Europe. The issue is assuming when Cenk or the left disagrees with the moderates it’s because they are wild eyed leftists and the moderates are realistic, that can be the case, but sometimes it isn’t and they are actually right. If you ask Cenk what his biggest policies would be, aside from Israel which is controversial, he would say ban money from politics and Medicare for all. To dismiss this as unrealistic leftism because the moderate dems don’t do it is wrong, as we have polling data finding they poll at 90-70% support respectively with the wider public. This indicates that if the moderate dems and their outlets aren’t pushing for it, it’s not actually for a practical electoral reason. I’d actually argue that moderate democrats are more willing to push the aspects of leftist beliefs that are more controversial with the wider public, such as aspects of lgbtq rights, DEI, and aspects of modern feminism. The reason is clearly less what gets votes and more what lobbies want and don’t want.
  7. Except if the democrats had a primary and people saw Biden’s age he would have been pressured out much earlier. You yourself were defending the democrats not holding a primary earlier. It still took a while to shove him out partly because many kept defending him. The only reason he got out was because Trump inexplicably agreed to a early debate. If that hasn’t happened we’d be having the debate reveal this month, and it would be too late for him to get out, and trump would win in a landslide. Listening to the moderate dems over the “crazy leftist” was literally a centimeter away from pushing everyone off a cliff, we just got lucky.
  8. No, he isn’t bought and they are. Cenk said he was specifically told he was fired from MSNBC for refusing to stop criticizing Obama. Those “moderate” podcasts get the same message, the difference is they listen to their orders. There were many mistakes the democrats made which ended up being huge disasters that the leftists were completely right about in recent history. It’s insane people are trying to double down on the moderate democrats.
  9. Polls find many of the key issues he supports are actually relatively popular with the wider public, such as banning money in politics and Medicare for all. He was also totally right about the dems not having a primary and needing to replace Biden, which all the supposedly “reasonable liberals” were against until they nearly fell off the cliff
  10. You need to stop catastrophizing. Your life isn’t over just because you won’t be a physicist. Just be a sociologist and do something on the side if you need to or switch to something else after you finish your degree later on. None of that is a reason to hang your self.
  11. So are these people all stage blue fundamentalists who are racist against Jews?
  12. Why do you want an ex who is willing to give you up after one day with someone else?

  14. You’re allowed to recommend other teachers
  15. Sociology is more important now than ever due to rapid changing nature of society But it’s become heavily ideological You could try working on finding alternate funding and challenging the common claims of modern sociology Or combine it with system dynamics and social psychology Charles Murray and Jonathan Haidt became famous for sociological work partially because they provided a perspective rare in the field

  17. You’d be worse off doing years of physics if you hate math. You can transfer out of sociology later or learn a trade for profit and do sociology as a passion.
