  • In a spirited debate, Roland Martin rumbled with The Young Turk's founder Cenk Uygur over President Joe Biden's 2024 presidential run and what could be Progressive's playbook to taking over America.
    Cenk Uygur's new book, Justice Is Coming: How Progressives Are Going to Take Over the Country and America Is Going to Love is available on Amazon 👉🏾 amzn.to/46SuBoB
    "InJustice Is Coming, The Young Turks founder Cenk Uygur presents two ideas that counter everything we hear from pundits and politicians on a daily basis: one, progressives are correct on all issues, and two, America is actually a very progressive country. Millions of us know that we are a part of something larger, a movement that is already transforming Washington."

      @@cbrfast you'd need to start with cross channel cooperation, making a bigger platform, rallies and getting the word out to young people that they must go vote. That's all short term, you'd also need MSM coverage and money to advertise. Long term change would only come about with a strategy to have mam reform so the likes of fox news can't spread lies and propaganda and chance from the current system to proportional representation. All that would require a candidate that not only would have the ability to bring all facets of the left together to unite but also a squeaky clean record. Problem is Cenk is doing this wrong and at the wrong time. He is actively turning off voters and confusing the issue, because the only issue right now is keeping trump and the republicans out. If he gets in all he'll will break loose. It's no good him constantly putting biden down, he is basically trashing the only chance there currently is and imo that's unforgivable. Any other time but not now. Roland is a very level headed guy and sees the pitfalls, Cenk would need to win over people who are far less accommodating or level headed. I hope change can take place starting with grass roots, with unions lobbying coming together finding the right people, culminating in what would be better as another party entirely! Just not NOW

      I would say that. However, Roland, along with his panels in past shows, have made it abundantly clear that they are not really on the same side. Roland and his panels have made disrespectful remarks about the progressives that have come on his show as well as those who haven't, all the while giving less flack to establishment dems. They continue to question the legitimacy of the progressive platform and those that represent it. He and his panels have taken the same approach of attacking the progressives as the liberal media and the establishment dems. Roland seems the talk out of both sides of his mouth when it comes to the progressives.

    An interesting debate that unfortunately leads nowhere, because Roland and Cenk completely cancels each other out. I understand Roland asking the tough questions and being a tough interviewer, but incidentally he's doing what mainstream media does: playing gatekeeper. Whenever a Progressive runs, they are immediately held to a higher standard than any other candidate and have to jump through hoops to prove they're worthy of a nomination, whereas no matter how mediocre the Establishment candidate is, they're immediately assumed to be worthy of the office.

      There’s a big difference between a thirst for keeping power, and a hunger for gaining it.

Presidents come up with the agenda. You should actually look up all the policies that Biden has signed that are helping the American people and not the large corporations. If Biden were protecting China like people say then why did he sign the Chips Act which allows those much needed chips for technology being built in the USA. You do realize that will take away China’s power over Americans.

So he wouldn't move on, wouldn't ask other questions. Wouldn't ask about the court case Cenk would HAVE TO WIN *BEFORE* he could be President. Wouldn't ask him about about what is going on in Florida, with the "Democratic" party LITERALLY BLOCKING DEMOCRACY!!? Stopping the primary from happening and disenfranchising the MILLIONS of democrats in Florida. That would have been so much more of a substantive debate.

That they challenge them privately, publicly and enough will vote against their agenda to block bills whereas the Republicans may be at each other privately, not publicly and will close rank to get bill passed even if they personally are against it or that particularly version of it in hopes of getting other bills passed.
      So yes. It may come down to brain type as to how people see things, how they choose to see things, how they "move" through decisions, manipulate, gaslight, coat ride, go out of their way to be relevant in situations that is so so irrelevant to them to make them think they matter more when they matter enough already but situation or persons gilot in their heads to tell them they're made of glass.

      Why wouldn't she change? We saw some of the jabs and pecking at her publicly. Who can't imagine or have an idea of what was done privately to make her fail, to punish her for "being there", in their group, in their circle, "up too close" to "them". Trying every which way they can to get her to quit? The manipulations. The sabotages.

Roland keeps coming back to this same question in his attempt to "win" this debate, even though Cenk has said many MANY times that they don't exist yet. Cenk is trying to lay out a path for Dems to win ACROSS THE COUNTRY, *AND* the Presidency. He's giving example after example of how this strategy WORKS, & Roland keeps asking "where are those candidates" , like BRO!? WHAT ARE WE DOING HERE??

I don't see how people in the comments who aren't even living close to the living standards as the average white person, continue to act as if Joe Biden is an answer. BIden doesn't care about Black people. The average white wealth is 10 times that of Black wealth. Black people were massively disproportionately affected by COVID compared to whites, latinos, and Asians. 52% of ALL homeless *families are Black. A vote for Biden is literally a soul sacrifice of another Black person and Roland is willing to allow those sacrifices because why? For potential job prospects?

      He says what he thinks will work but like a true Progressive it never materializes. All they do is scream what Dems don't do but Dems are the reason they are in the room. Trump and the Republicons treat them like shit and they accept it. They remind me of the little fucking annoying dogs that make a lot of noise but ain't going to bite shit..

      I don't think so either. It's giving me "Only I can fix it" vibes. Which Roland was right to push back on because they haven't built a sound infrastructure to get it done. They ride on the backs of Democrats then turn around and stab them in it. Look how many times he attacked Biden and maybe said 3 things about the 2x impeached 91 indictment having former president. They make me sick!! @@SpeedinBulletPodcast

      ​@@SpeedinBulletPodcast That's what is so sad about it. Like Cenk said, if Biden does marketing like tRump, then Roland would have an excellent point about the Democratic party in general.

      @teebagur,
      Why are you settling? That’s the question. Why are Black people thinking of which devil to choose? The outcome with either party always has an ill effect on Blacks. There’s no stopping it. And Democrats were so good, why are Blacks STILL do far behind after all of these years?! We have to be politically and spiritually sane.

    This man spent the first 10 minutes basing his argument around paid family leave when young people honestly pay no attention to such issues.

      Over 50 voters have had their children and aren’t trying to have any more. It’s a younger voter issue that older voters emphasize with.

    Roland thank you so much and I really am disappointed at Cenk dividing the Democrats at a time as this. Yes there will always be room for improvement but let's face the problems we have before us now.💯 with you Roland.

      Cenk is helping to give America to DeSatan or tRump.
      Cenk is NOT a natural born American Citizen‼️

      Cenk running for office is DEMOCRACY. We don't owe fealty to *any* candidate. They're not entitled to our vote, it's their job to earn it. People are right, non establishment/third party candidates can't win...if you don't vote for them. That's definitely true. Sure, if it comes down to Trump vs Biden in the general, vote for Biden, but the primary is our opportunity to tell the establishment we're not going to live by fear and stand for the satus quo anymore. Unless of course you like to be ruled over by the corporate class that is the current Democratic party in charge.
