And it often works, because the Republican candidates are unbelievably awful. Even now, you will find plenty of supporters parroting "vote blue no matter who" and accusing third party voters of being irresponsible.
I didn't vote for Hillary Clinton in 2016, and she is the last person I'll ever defend. But Norm's claim that "had Hillary Clinton won in 2016, the most significant movement in modern American history would not have happened" (by which he means the Sanders campaign) doesn't make sense. The Sanders campaign had already had a significant impact by the end of the 2016 primaries, and her winning the general election instead of Trump wouldn't have changed that. If he means Bernie's 2020 campaign, it was important but had less impact the second time around (partly due to the pandemic). Maybe it pushed Biden slightly to the left on domestic policy (although not, catastrophically, on foreign policy). But it's overblown to call Bernie's second run more important than any other movement. More important than the labor movement? I don't think so. Norm is very knowledgeable, but he often speaks in hyperbole and makes overly sweeping claims, and this is a good example.
The Supremes told the Democratic National Committee that,as a PRIVATE CORPORATION, they DON'T have to let voters choose the candidates. That's why Bernie didn't get the nomination in 2016 or 2020. The DNC and their billionaire donors chose Hillary and Joe
although I respect norm's takes in many many things, his takes on current affairs and future speculation sometimes leave more to be desired. I feel he relies too heavily on the same ways that he examines history, looking only for very concrete examples, actions, etc. that fulfill a requirement for something.
I think Chomsky was right. The problem is that now in the US, the only two parties are the Democratic Republican Party and the Republican Republican Party. You can choose the Republican Party you prefer.
Words are not enough to convey my Love, Respect and Gratitude for Professor Norman Finkelstein a True Legend who will never know the Extent, or the Ripple effects of his Work, his Passion and Sacrifice on Millions around the world... Especially on the Millions of Palestinians for Generations to come 💛
Much more significant movement? Where's the movement? Nobody even cares. I like Jill Stein, but she's just another third party candidate that has no chance of winning.
"It would have precluded the Bernie Sanders candidacy." Yea, so what? Bernie didn't get elected; he didn't even get nominated. As soon as it became a two horse race for the Democratic nomination, corporate Democrat vs. Bernie, Bernie got soundly beaten. It was an instructive moment though, because it (sadly) showed how few Progressive voters there are in America. And I Bernie, but facts are facts.
I voted for Bernie in the primary and then i was treated to him becoming nothing but a shill for the Democrats in the years hence with the odd moment of lucidity here and there. I have lost all respect for him as well and pretty much think he was just selling a bill of goods.
Love Norm. He is missing the 2 competing billionaire factions in his political calculations. Since it's 2 Capitalist factions most of the system will remain in place no matter which faction wins, including the Supreme Court.
I hope and think Norman is wrong about who will win. Looking in from the outside it's preferable that Trump doesn't win even if the alternative is not exactly perfect.
I've always had the utmost admiration and respect for Chomsky. Until COVID, Chomsky this self professed anarchist backed the most authoritarian statist response towards people who refused to vaccinate. His only real principals were that opinions shared by the group I identify are correct and the rest are incorrect and vile. A man of great intellect and no principal. I suspect he would have been an ardent republican of that was his milieu as well.
We all were under a great fear about COVID and we brainwashed by Pharmaceuticals and politicians. Naomi Chomsky is human also. We all make mistakes. That does not erase his enormous work and his legacy to humanity!
@eemoogee160 you can be correct and still detached from reality. He believes that his words matter...they don't. He only preaches to the choir. At least he seems to know it's either Trump or Harris that will win.
In my view The most moral and ethical American intellectual gentleman 👏 👌 🎉
Norman is way past blessed and loved ,Norman has the biggest and kindest heart in the universe.
The Democrats' "campaign" has been "I'm not him" since 2016.
And it often works, because the Republican candidates are unbelievably awful.
Even now, you will find plenty of supporters parroting "vote blue no matter who" and accusing third party voters of being irresponsible.
Harris - 'there's nothing there'. 🤣🤣🤣
LMAO I clearly remember that "laughing cow" comment.
Bravo Bravo, Mr Norman. U R a great and brave man. U name will be written in Golden letters in the forefront of History.
Finklestein is incredible, this channel is great. Keep up the good work
Norman is such an articulate speaker

Harris is Not even zero -but minus. Sad truth
brutal... burgeois democracy is not even in danger.. its over...
Let's hope
Sadly, no mater who's elected Prez, Netanyahu will still dictate US foreign policy.
Our beloved Professor Norm Finkelstein one of brightest minds in America thank you for your service
...Fucking depressing. The good news is Jill Stein is also running for President.

Thanks!
Great respect for a great brave man.
Why he is not even mentioning Jill Stein Butch Ware candidacy. By my opinion it's much more significant movement than Bernie.
😂

We can get Stein 5 % of the vote and they'll be recognized as a real party and win all kinds of prizes. @@profd65
Nice Job!!
Harris or Trump.
Trump or Harris.
None of them! Jill Stein for 2024!!!!

I am voting Jill Stein to get out of this oligarchy were living in.. sad to say America has become a oligarchy
"...chump erm trump" haha

Hey Norm you should mute your phone before the interview starts lmao.
Love Norm. He is missing the 2 competing billionaire factions in his political calculations. Since it's 2 Capitalist factions most of the system will remain in place no matter which faction wins, including the Supreme Court.
Well,both parties are controlled from abroad
The mad cow desease is back!

She and you are completely detached from reality.
What's he wrong about?
@eemoogee160 you can be correct and still detached from reality. He believes that his words matter...they don't. He only preaches to the choir. At least he seems to know it's either Trump or Harris that will win.
Kamela and you only stupid people detached from norman truth
@@pkia898 if your definition of detachment from reality is believing that words matter, why do you even bother attempting to make any point at all?
@@pkia898 We all know that we're trapped in a corrupt and antidemocratic oligarch.
Professor Chomsky may not be able to speak atm, but I am sure glad we ad least have Norman - He would be proud of your crusade for world peace
😂
@@BobbyFoxtron Are you able to use the English language, or do you just communicate with pictures?
@@profd65 the simple respond better to emojis
Trump will push for removing the term limit or extend it.
