For those of you taking the poll... (none / 1)
Saying that Cenk is a true Progressive, you are all fooling yourselves - He's a Conservadem at best, a Rush baby at worse...

He talks a good game, but he is a typical lawyer - stick your finger in the wind to see which way the wind is blowing. I've never been convinced that Cenk is one of truly a progressive. He's too much of a Capitalist for most of your leanings...

Meaning....? (none / 0)
Maybe I'm not getting this right but I don't think being progressive and being capitalist are mutually exclusive. He seems pretty solidly progressive to me. What do you mean exactly?

He's confusing (none / 0)
Progressives with Socialists, too much Glenn Beck.

Progressives around this site... (none / 0)
Are certainly not Capitalists, they are anti-free market, pro-governemnt control of industry and anti-wealth.

Progressivism (as displayed here at TYT) is not mutally exclusive with Capitalism...

Thanks

Heres the question though (none / 0)

You are saying that Progressivism on TYT is an entirely different type of progressive than normal. Now I can't speak for everyone on this site but I'll take a guess that you don't have evidence that everyone here believes in the principles you stated.So I think branding a entire web site of people in that way isn't the right way to go.

 More to the point what does that have to do with Cenk not being progressive.  If you agree that it isn't mutually exclusive then how does that make Cenk not progressive?
