Cenk and Ana, on TYT, are setting themselves up to be stabbed in the back. All they seems to care about now, is independence from the Israel lobby.

What is the role of a "leader"? Pander to the lowest common denominator? Or lead people to a higher standard? Remember Churchill's speech?
"If we can stand up to him [Hitler], all Europe may be free and the life of the world may move forward into broad, sunlit uplands. But if we fail, then the whole world, including the United States, including all that we have known and cared for, will sink into the abyss of a new Dark Age..."
Substitute "racism", "religious bigotry", or "intolerance". for "Hitler".
Currently, our "leader" panders to white, Christian, nationalists, telling them the path to paradise is through bigotry.
