How The Left Continues To Eat Itself - Cenk Uygur - #870
About this episode
Cenk Uygur is a political commentator, former attorney and founder of The Young Turks,.
The dust has settled after the US election, so what is the post-mortem? As the founder of the biggest Left-leaning show in the world, why does Cenk have so many problems with the way the Left is constructed right now, and how can they improve?
Expect to learn if Joe Rogan is more credible than The View, if Elon will give Cenk the resources to run the Pentagon’s budget, whether it's possible for the left to start working collaboratively with Republicans, if the election was more of a right wing victory or a left wing loss, how big of a deal wokeism was in turning the tides of the election and much more…
