Cenk Uygur @cenkuygur 3h Can everyone please stop the dumb "from the river to the sea" chant? It is incredibly hurtful to our Jewish brothers and sisters. It's also incredibly counterproductive to protecting Palestinians. Do not chant something that majority thinks is call for genocide. Not complicated. Dec 11, 2023 · 11:09 PM UTC

      Hasan said on the latest Patreon episode of Fear& that no one (Cenk and the family) thinks he is going to win and that the point of him running is that, if he gains any traction at all, Democrats are going to have to admit they need to replace Biden with someone else.

          He was and is not eligible under current laws (as he has been told repeatedly by state election officials). The only good thing to possibly come out of this campaign is getting that law changed, but don't hold your breath because burgerland is way too fucking racist on aggregate to possibly tackle that.

          I think it's one of those things where he could run but legally he can't be president. I have no idea honestly. It was a blip in conversation about how Gruesome Gavin should run because he's hot and who the hottest president was.

          his argument iirc is that that clause should be considered overturned by the 14th amendment (?) which guaranteed equal protection under the law to naturalized citizens or something.

          He also cited like 4 other examples of people being elected despite having outright fake or tenuous claims to being born here

        Isn't that basically why Marianne Williamson is running? She's polling way higher than Cenk ever would and the media are happy to pretend she's not running.

        Imagine being such a bootlicking loser that the only reason you spend tons of money running for president is so that 'your' party maybe concedes that their candidate sucks.

        And replace Biden with what, exactly? Some other hollowed out husk of a human that has 97% of the same views Biden does?

        Joe Biden is a liberal, maybe THE liberal; he IS 'your team'.

        There's half a dozen other candidates who would already prove that and they're all left of this dumbass.

        If he somehow found a genie in abotlle and started polling above 10% he'd start telling his followers that they need to drop it get serious and start supportung Biden.

        Exactly like he did on the verge of crocodile tears with Hillary in 2016.
