Video: History professor Allan Lichtman wrongly predicted the 2024 election results, even while using his much touted "keys". Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian discuss on The Young Turks. Your Support is Crucial to the Show...
It wasn't just this video. I used to be a much bigger fan. Then I saw a few things that turned me off. I'm done with TYT now. Fvck you, Cenk and fvck you, Ana. You both suck. The two comments below sum up how I feel about this video.
@you_are_soul: You people are idiots, while Trump installs utter lunatics you are enjoying the tears of Lichtman, pretty pathetic. Especially considering that y'all like the rest of the media had no idea how to cover Trump.
@slakethesnake: You are both so annoying ...when I found your channel a year or so ago I thought I found a fairer view of the world and politics but you both are skewed as well. The sarcasm and elitism you exude is outrageous. This video cements it for me and I'll be watching elsewhere!
What professor Lichtman said about the electorate needing to be rational was 100 percent correct. Joe Biden has been a fantastic president and Kamala Harris absolutely should have won. Given the keys and given that tRump was a known quantity.
Everyone is (or should) be aware of the terrible job the Turd did in the Turd-1 administration. So why would the voters want to bring him back? It is completely irrational.
These developments are horrifying, yet Cenk and Ana are both laughing and gloating? As opposed to Cenk saying "I was right, although, dear God, I wish I had been wrong". Do Cenk and Ana think that the Hell on Earth that is surely to come is also something to laugh about?
The still of Cenk smiling and laughing that appears before "play" is pressed seriously pisses me off. He isn't a tRump fan, is he? I'm pretty sure neither of these Turds are. Yet it seems like he is so happy to have been right. And that, if he could have the chance to be wrong -- he wouldn't take it.
"But having been right brings me such joy! All the misery that Turd-2 will inflict on the American people is inconsequential to my happiness!"... I bet if Cenk found a magical lamp, rubbed it, and a Genie appeared, no wish of his would involve him being wrong and tRump not being predisent-elect. That would be a wish he would not make, because then he could not laugh at Allan Lichtman and gloat about having been right.
Excerpted from The Stephanie Miller Show, 11/13/2024...
Stephanie Miller: I glad, btw, that people like Allan Lichtman, talking about the same thing we've been talking about ... disinformation was the biggest factor in this election. It would be different ... if those had been issues we lost on. If they really were doing trans surgeries in schools without the parent's permission. If Haitians really were eating our pets. If [the Biden Administration] really was giving FEMA money to illegal immigrants and not helping Americans. ...we lost entirely on lies. One of the richest men in the world with one of the biggest platforms in the world -- blasting out lies. That's what Allan Lichtman said. This is the only time he's ever been wrong [was due to] this massive amount of disinformation. **skip** Bob Cesca: There is a flow of disinformation from people who watch Fox News or The Daily Wire, podcasters or whoever -- they end up talking to normals. Then normals think that stuff is also true. There is a flow of disinformation from d0nald tRump's disgusting yapper all the way to the minds of all kinds of people who ought to know better. I can't tell you the number of times I got text messages and DMs from people saying, "hey, is that true? Is Joe Biden really giving FEMA funds to migrangts? Are they really doing gender reassignment surgeries in elementary schools where they have to do raffels to buy notebooks?". It's not just the disinformation itself, it's how is that disinformation getting to people who really should know better. ... we have to interrupt that flow of disinformation from the weirdos to the normals. Stephanie Miller: Thank you. Allan Lichtman ... I say he was right about 2000, because who could have seen the Supreme Court just appointing bush. Al Gore did win did win the popular vote and wold have won the presidency if they had continued counting in Florida. Anyway, Allan Lichtman blamed Elon Musk and the explosion of disinformation. His keys have just been historically accurate. You know why? They are based in fact. The economy has been provably fantastic under Joe Biden. He said he was sounding the alarm... [Quoting Allan Lichtman] "...disinformation has exploded to an unprecidented degree. We saw something brand new this time, billionaire Elon Musk putting his thumb on the scales. It's been reported his disinformation had billions of views. This spread to every aspect of this election. When I was a kid, I read science fiction books, you know, the premise was a few mega rich people are able to control society. We're not all that far from it and I am sounding the alam and I don't think I'm the only one. "The premise of the keys is that a rational, pragmatic electorate decides whether the White House Party has governed well enough to get 4 more years. But, if views of the White House Party controlled by disinformation, particularly driven by those who are so rich they have extraordinary influence beyond anyone else, then maybe the premise of the keys needs to be changed". In a normal, sane world Kamala Harris would have won. ... stock market is at an all time high [as are] wages. Inflation back down to prepandemic levels. Immigration reform, we could have gotten done. republicans and tRump are solely the ones that stopped that. What else? Corporate price gouging. Kamala Harris talked a lot about that. And what we do about greedflation. |
See here for a discussion on The Vanguard podcast. Guest Sam Seder of "The Majority Report" joins hosts Zac Polston and Gavin Miller-Broomfield to talk about the pivot by Cenk and Ana of The Young Turks as well as the Tenet Media investigation which involved rightturds Dave Rubin, Tim Pool and Benny Johnson being paid bigly to propagate Putin propaganda.
For the record, when I say that I'm "done" with the Young Turks, I mean I'm done thinking that Cenk and Ana are likely to have opinions I will agree with. I might still watch some of their YouTubes. If I had ever considered supporting TYT, that is a definite NO now. And I do like The Damage Report with John Iadarola, which is a part of the TYTurd Network. Also Jayar Jackson. Maybe some of these good progressives who are associated with TYT are considering leaving?
