Opponents used to have to do "oppo research," now they just have to sit back, relax and wait for the cancel culture warriors to arrive?

Cenk Uygur said the genes of women who didn’t want to sleep with him are “flawed.” Bernie Sanders said his voice “desperately” belongs in Congress. Now everyone’s backtracking.

I dunno, as I don't think I've ever seen Cenk or any other "Young Turks" talk for more than 10 minutes, but I thought this p.o.v. was interesting:

The constant bad-faith attacks against @cenkuygur are a case study in what he's been fighting against his entire career: the establishment's willingness to nuke their own side to ensure that systemic change never comes.

I don't follow Uygar but I've seen several hours of the Young Turks. Enough to know I don't like him. I don't think these are bad faith attacks, they're merited, and they're not coming from the establishment. Atm they're coming from the left. He's a partisan hack as well who lies to promote his political agenda.

Like so much, he was probably better in the old days. Everything's partisan hack now or some other kind of disappointment.
