I looked at the states that voted for Bernie on 2020 on the Democratic Primary, and the only swing state to do so, was Nevada, and Nevada is surely going Republican. Even if the enthusiasm between Democrats is high, I don't think it will matter on the swing states, and so far, by the latest polls, I'd say Trump will still come out as the winner.

The problem with the world is the Palestinian Rep has to be the loudest voice, when it should a chorus. Too often we turn a blind eye or simply pay lip service to the suffering of others, because we lack empathy of other humans who do not remind us of ourselves.
Yup. It why I disagree with how many who didn't support what's going on simply didn't show up, they should have, and should have joined Rashida Tlaib in holding up those signs, would have sent a clear message, but they choose the cowards way out of just not showing up, their silence is complicity.

Totally agree They say they want Satanyahu to hurry along the cease fire process All the Yanks have to do ,is stop sending the bombs and munitions-Simple
In the primary debates last time unlike Biden she raised her hand to condition aid to Israel, so you really think that's in the realm of possibility of things we can achieve under her
And? She also claimed to support Medicare for all and then turned around and told her donors that was a lie. Unlike Biden and Trump, she is smart enough to toe the line during an election cycle
@@serenitywintirs2773don't forget the ceasefire clip that's her worst one. Literally got the reaction she wanted then completely changed the context of her statement during the applause. Yeah real keen one we got here 😊❤
I’m not totally letting go of the idea that Kamala is strategically waiting until after the DNC, to secure her nomination, before speaking out about Israel. But I’m not holding my breath.
I concur. I am leaning towards the idea that she's playing it very carefully and watching her p's and q's until she has secure footing to bring up Gaza. 🇵🇸
So Hamas is stealing all the food and supplies! So where are they hiding it? ……. Oh, maybe they’ve eaten it all! This is an appalling lie to cover up the heinous fact that they are not letting it in. i heard the latest trick is to ask the truck drivers for proof of donation for the items - which doesn’t exist of course, so the trucks are not allowed in. Absolutely despicable behavior. The West bank isn’t faring much better, with daily destruction of buildings and infrastructure and incarceration or killing of the population. How can any of this be justified? All those supposedly civilized people of a democratic country, clapping a criminal despot, they should all be ashamed.
61 year old female here. Never married, no children by choice, 4 cats. Why would I bring a child into a world I would not want to be born into? I hate to say it and I do feel bad for the youth that will have to deal with the long terms affect of it, but I am starting to think that this country deserves Project 2025. I was going to hold my nose and vote for Biden but I don't think I can do that for Harris. I expect more out of a fellow California Girl. Oh Thank God!!! I just checked and my Rep Jared Huffman (D-CA) did skip the speech. Think I'm gonna go donate $50 towards his reelection. WE ALL SHOULD DONATE TO THOSE WHO SKIPPED THE WAR CRIMINALS SPEECH BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO BE TARGETS.
Unless she actually commits to dropping the entire Biden team (Sullivan, Austin, Blinken, McGurk at minimum) and dramatically changes her rhetoric on Palestine (unlikely bordering on impossible), its not going to be enough.
Why did she even say anything? Not only did she do the wrong thing, she went OUT OF HER WAY to do the wrong thing. Does she not realize she’s going to get labeled pro-Hamas regardless of whatever she says and does? Uggh I hate watching Democrats score own goals
Detractors can label her however they want...the issue is resonating with voters big time. It won't hurt her polling if she goes against Israel. Almost every poll taken since last October has shown this. Question is whether she'll go against the Israeli lobbys that are so powerful in Washington
I don't get people on this channel. Harris called for an immediate and permanent ceasefire. She called for a two state solution. She denounced the killing of civilians. For all we know, she may have privately told Netanyahu that his aid is over in January if she wins. What is wrong with what she said?
@GSP-76 she has to go that route if she wants to win. I won't vote for her, let alone campaign, unless she comes out swinging in defense of human rights.
there is completely insufficient basis to reach that conclusion yet she just became the leader of the party like literally a day ago; grow a brain, and then let us *see* who she is and what she will do instead of assuming in a blind nihilistic rage
@@theomargoles4217and the only excitement there was had to do with the fact Joe Biden wasn’t the choice on the democratic side anymore. Other progressive channels have referred to the news as a sigh of relief, which we all needed. And they’re right. Which is the only real excitement genuine people felt
The tweet with the written press release was pretty bad, but in fairness she saw some rogue idiot writing "Hamas is coming" on the Columbus statue which undermined the integrity of the protest. And dont forget she snubbed Netanyahu's speech. She probably didnt want to seem completely anti-Israel and alienate the Jewish vote. Her post Bibi meeting press briefing was awesome. She stated openly and clearly she supports a two-state solution (independent Palestinian state), a full cease fire, unrestricted aid to Palestinian civilians and return of the hostages and their remains to Israel. She threaded the needle and managed to take a solid stance. But until she gets elected, she probably cant do anything unless Joe grows a backbone. She stumbled a bit, but stuck the landing in my opinion.
I just saw Harris’s speech and the CNN interview with Nikki Haley back to back and I can tell you, if you don’t like Harris’s stance, you’re gonna *hate* the alternative. You can rant against the Dems and blame any potential loss on this issue for what good that’ll do, but it’s the people of Gaza who will pay the price if trump wins.
The left needs to ground itself in objective, measurable, material utility. Materialist praxis is the only way. There's just no room for pure idealism and moral fantasies in this situation. I think this is as far left as she can realistically openly claim to be on the issue and still be in a position to make positive change. Any commitment to humanitarian aid in Gaza is already a vast departure from Biden's absolute refusal to condemn the slaughter.
Emma is right standard democrats are willing to challenge Israel if the base wants it, but the clock is ticking, every year the Israeli lobby grows stronger eventually there will be no strength to challenge them in the democratic party if we don't make a stand right now.
I don't think they're growing stronger each year though. This is really the first time any large voter group has been hounding the dnc on this issue. The squad although small is an increase from 0 from Congressional Representatives who support Palestine. We need to keep pressure on keep protesting and we need to vote not just in the general but in the primaries too
I am reading Project 2025. Read it and weep. There is so much more at stake and that deserves attention. You can read a pdf summary if 900 pages is oppressive. Basically it's a manifesto for social engineering that will have wide reaching consequences across the board. In my opinion it trumps everything.
Blah blah blah, scare tactics for the millionth time, and then you'll come up with a new one next election. Look up the story of the boy who cried wolf.
There is a lot in that document that deserve s attention but for Arab Americans, particularly Palestinian Americans, this is an issue that cannot be ignored. I've got friends who have lost entire generations of their family. They're the only one left.
@@sanninjiraiya horribly sad but do U think there lives will be improved here in the US by a Trump presidency? U think Trump will put more pressure on Netanyahu to stop bombing Gaza. Unfortunately life comes down to choices, and picking the best of the available options. Here U only have 2.

You mean Zelensky? He is not a Nazi and not guilty of invading a country or genociding a native people (that you occupied for 75yrs). Absolutely no comparison with Nethanyahu.
Alright, I've noticed that very few people seem to have actually listened to the statements Harris has made and identified the things she has and has not specifically said. So here. I'll break it down for you. She has: -Verbally committed to the existence of Israel as a state and its right to defend itself. -Also directly condemned Hamas as a terrorist organization. -Explicitly condemned the violence against civilians. -Directly placed responsibility for the lack of aid flowing into Gaza on Israel and said they need to do better. -Called openly for a ceasefire, which the Biden admin required her to amend to "...for six weeks". -Condemned specifically the pro-Hamas and flag burning protests. -Expressed support for the right to peacefully protest. She has not: -Praised or expressed support for Netanyahu specifically. -Condoned the slaughter of civilians in Gaza. -Excused the lack of humanitarian relief passing into Gaza. -Condemned the protests as a whole.
Man its hard to believe you guys cant see how thin of a tightrope she has to walk on this issue... and the intricate nuances of this issue. She cant just go at Netanyahu's throat right away. Its extremely complicated and takes more than a simplistic approach. I think she laid some groundwork to take him on later... but she's not president yet. ITs pragmatic... you guys need a shot of reality.
Thank you so much for clipping this. Keep up the great work all associated with MR. Your work is very important now. Stay strong. Stay safe. God bless.
Compared to Donald Trump, Kamala Harris would be an absolute *gift* to Palestine. If he wins, they’re done. Period. If she wins, they’ve got a chance. Period.
Also, if publicly calling for an end to genocide costs her support among likely Democrat voters, someone needs to say out loud that they care more about erasing Palestinians than they do about fighting fascism.
I am so happy I found your show. Finally I have found a home. I have been saying pretty much the same message since 1968. Stay strong brothers and sister.
IF she feels differently about the situation at ALL(even a little bit), she CAN'T say it NOW. Because she's dragging around that old corpse. He really needs to resign!
Sure she can. Political courage is a choice. She is choosing to tout the same lines as Biden on this issue. She could take a divergent stance if she wanted to. Originally the VPs were supposed to be a potential counter to the President. Another checks and balances. A carbon-copy VP is unfortunate, in this case complicit in genocide.
But he won't, not unless something happens to him. It was a group effort by so many dems within the party and high value donors to even get him to drop from the race to get reelected.
I have a question. As someone who's ancestors are from South Asia why do the american left think that every single country in Asia has a positive view of Palestine? I mean some countries do like Malaysia,Indonesia, Pakistan but there's also a huge majority who actually doesn't like Singapore, Myanmar,Thailand,India, Phillipines etc.I think the american left needs to understand that not all the folks in the East actually has a great image of Palestine or even Middle east for that matter
Emma is 100% right here and i can hear the confusion in her voice when Matt seems to push back on her for having any kind of hope for a better situation for Gaza. He wants it so bad, it makes him so upset, that he will seemingly argue with Emma over what boils down to a semantics game and leave her kinda blind sided by how explicitly negative he is at the even idea that maybe Harris will be better than Biden. I can emphasize with Matt's anger but he was denying Emma that Harris could be better and he actually didn't know her record as well as her. This interaction made me feel weird about him.
glad i'm not the only one who felt really uncomfortable from that interaction. i align with emma the most so i'm obviously a bit biased, but that kind of aggression toward her for being optimistic made me feel a bit sick and i don't know how to fully articulate this, but it almost triggered the same feeling i get in my gut when i instinctively recognize misogynistic behavior/dogwhistles from people.
@@vibelet Yes, I totally agree. I think he literally scoffed at her. Some kind of dismissive tone/gesture. The rant about zionists controlling all our politicians would be considered almost a "mask off" moment if he were right wing. I understand that Zionism is almost completely divorced from Judaism or Jewish people, I'm not saying they mean the same thing. But that moment felt very single minded and a bit unhinged. Just seemed very similar to someone who was far right talking about Zionism as a guise for Jews. I know that is not Matt's intent, I am under no impression he is right wing or antisemitic at all. I think he lost his cool here a bit and took it out on someone in the heat of *his* moment. Hope he apologizes later when he's chill and realizes his anger towards the situation manifested in a toxic way.
@@TitanBait agreed. i spent pretty much the entire video wishing sam had been on this episode, i feel like he tends to match emma's level-headed perspective on things the most and maybe the conversation would've been less of a weird dogpile on her had he been there :/
I think what Harris will do is split the difference-- she will do good actions but in a way that refers to Israel by name but be part of a broader policy shift.
Highly likely, because unlike what the more idealistic among us believe, it's literally nonviable to rhetorically be against Israel itself in American politics. The math is not there. But being able to tell Netanyahu to his face that he has to stop the mass slaughter of civilians is a step up from Biden. Literally too early to judge follow-through because of how time functions, but people really need to ground themselves in reality.
Kamala indicating she's gonna replace Blinken, Austin and Sullivan is great news, but if she chooses Shapiro or Kelly as VP it's a backblow. Clear, coherent and consistent choises of people and policies doing away with double standards and hypocracy is extremely important gaining much needed support and restoring credibility. Got a gut feeling she'll go for Shapiro and it worries me. Hope she'll pick Beshear or Walz.
Doesn't seem like Emma's beliefs can stand up to any real time scrutiny. She was saying all kinds of dumb things about Harris's statement on Twitter that she didn't say here.
Is it being too coconut pilled to ask if maybe Kamala doesn't feel like she can make those waves right now, and maybe she should get a chance to take brave stances once she has won the presidency? I don't really have that much hope it will happen but it feels like she should have the chance.
@@palatonian9618 yeah I really don't think a lot of younger people understand how 80% of America Israel Palestine conflict and how easy it can be misconstrued in the run up to an election.

He would have been worse, no matter what the books written by his staff would like to say.

She is really stuck between a rock and a hard place whichever way she goes she loses a few points and get some massive amount of money thrown in opposition depending on which way she goes
Yeah, alienate all of the base that is pro-Israel, which is much of the country, so we can be sure Trump wins and hastens the destruction of Gaza. Good thinking! Kamala will be better than Trump on I/P, that should be all that matters. It's an extra bonus that she's better on Gaza than Biden, but criticizing her on Gaza only serves to worsen her chances and as such increase the chances of a much worse candidate winning
its going to be superhard to tell if her "tough on israel" stance is performative or actually something meaningful.I just dont think the military industrial complexa and aipac is going to allow someone pro-palestine to get in power at this point in time.
She was a pragmatic coward during the 2020 primary, she'll continue to be one indefinitely. She's bette than Trump, but it's very clear she'll always serve her pragmatisim.
yet again, another un-palatable candidate foisted upon you. Hard to ignore that the plays are so repetitive that they suggest the existence of a playbook...
That sounds like pretty conspiratorial thinking. It's more the consequences of first past the post. Due to the two-party system, both parties try to play as close to the middle as possible. Anybody that has a more extreme stance will reluctantly vote for the closer candidate. Going far to a side means that you cede the middle to the opposition.
Her statement about the so-called protesters was very specific. She was calling out the absolutely ridiculous levels of vandalism and burning of things. NOT peaceful protesting. Yet you all know that but act as if she was somehow silencing dissension. Explain to me oh so valiant ones what purpose is using red spray pain all over statues and monuments with the label HAMAS? That’s essentially a crime. I love this channel but whenever this topic comes up you all short circuit and lost the ability to gauge situations properly.
It's paint on a statue man. They just hosted a foreign war criminal who talks about Americans like they are servile morons, while taking billions of tax dollars from them to commit genoclde. How else do you get your message across, when 9 months of protests have no effect? Hear the voice of the people, the longer they are ignored the more enraged they become.
17:40 “why? Who’s it for?” It’s for the people who aren’t ideological about Palestine who see people burning a us flag and threatening Hamas is coming. Harris’s statement was fine, tbh.

@@serenitywintirs2773nah I think they think she's more progressive cuz that time she said we need a ceasefire then immediately walked it back. Or when she locked up kids for truancy in California. She's so far left she's spinning in fucking circles
If she holds a more progressive stance but doesn't do anything with it in public, she's still aiding the same genocide. Actions are going to matter.
The bar got so terribly low: Be slightly better than Trump....
If there are no civilian casualties, then who are the people that died? Especially if they weren’t the ones fighting in a pointless war? basic common sense.

Then don't pick Shapiro
Agreed. 😎
Besides the comments on the protesters to go home has he said anything else?
Kind of doubt she will pick Shapiro. I don't see Shapiro doing rounds in the media.
Gawd! Would she! It would be as bad as Vance.
@@etee7114 Sadly, Shapiro, might be one of the "best options" if the goal is to keep Trump from being elected again. If GOP gets Pennsylvania electors (19) it's over. While I would love to see a progressive VP, that would probably not get her anywhere. I looked at the states that voted for Bernie on 2020 on the Democratic Primary, and the only swing state to do so, was Nevada, and Nevada is surely going Republican. Even if the enthusiasm between Democrats is high, I don't think it will matter on the swing states, and so far, by the latest polls, I'd say Trump will still come out as the winner.
Watching Emma constantly interrupted really gets old. The only time she doesn't spoken over or interrupted is when she's not on the show.
It's a long going problem with this show and it's women cohosts. When Jamie was on the show, this problem was so prevalent, it bled into the audience
Yea. I'm actually here for Emma tbh.
I'm here for everyone. I also don't care for the culture of interruption that happens as a matter of course for every person on here, but especially, if I remember, Jamie. That shit was gross. I'm glad Emma is faring better, which isn't saying much. There's definitely a sexism that needs to be dealt with.
The problem with the world is the Palestinian Rep has to be the loudest voice, when it should a chorus. Too often we turn a blind eye or simply pay lip service to the suffering of others, because we lack empathy of other humans who do not remind us of ourselves.
Yup. It why I disagree with how many who didn't support what's going on simply didn't show up, they should have, and should have joined Rashida Tlaib in holding up those signs, would have sent a clear message, but they choose the cowards way out of just not showing up, their silence is complicity.
"Hamas is coming" is a weird message to let slide.

Still not nearly good enough. Kamala is trying to politician. She is trying to have her cake and eat it too, and I implore you to see it for what it is

Emma is speaking truth about there might be room to influence Kamala and her admin.
In the primary debates last time unlike Biden she raised her hand to condition aid to Israel, so you really think that's in the realm of possibility of things we can achieve under her
That is why you all say EVERY SINGLE TIME! And? Does that ever happen? Think really hard
And? She also claimed to support Medicare for all and then turned around and told her donors that was a lie. Unlike Biden and Trump, she is smart enough to toe the line during an election cycle
Emma's a delusional lib huffing pure copium
@@serenitywintirs2773don't forget the ceasefire clip that's her worst one. Literally got the reaction she wanted then completely changed the context of her statement during the applause. Yeah real keen one we got here 😊❤
Netanyahutler and AIPAC needs to go.
AMERICANS NEED TO DO IT otherwise there is a hell of alot of U S politicians that hold positions to progress Israeli positions
I hate the fact that this is one issue where the left and literal antisemites agree.
I’m not totally letting go of the idea that Kamala is strategically waiting until after the DNC, to secure her nomination, before speaking out about Israel. But I’m not holding my breath.
I concur. I am leaning towards the idea that she's playing it very carefully and watching her p's and q's until she has secure footing to bring up Gaza. 🇵🇸
State of US politics and how majority are in the pockets of AIPAC is the most dystopian thing ever.
“We allowed food into Gaza”
Oh? Tell me more. 🤨
So Hamas is stealing all the food and supplies! So where are they hiding it? ……. Oh, maybe they’ve eaten it all! This is an appalling lie to cover up the heinous fact that they are not letting it in. i heard the latest trick is to ask the truck drivers for proof of donation for the items - which doesn’t exist of course, so the trucks are not allowed in. Absolutely despicable behavior. The West bank isn’t faring much better, with daily destruction of buildings and infrastructure and incarceration or killing of the population. How can any of this be justified? All those supposedly civilized people of a democratic country, clapping a criminal despot, they should all be ashamed.

WE ALL SHOULD DONATE TO THOSE WHO SKIPPED THE WAR CRIMINALS SPEECH BECAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO BE TARGETS.
Unless she actually commits to dropping the entire Biden team (Sullivan, Austin, Blinken, McGurk at minimum) and dramatically changes her rhetoric on Palestine (unlikely bordering on impossible), its not going to be enough.
She's still trying to appeal to zionists too, she wants to appeal to both sides broadly, but this isn't an issue where you can appeal both sides.
@@ToxicAudri Then she will lose. She's not going to out-Zionist the Republicans, but she can try to make a play for the left.
Afaik she said she was dropping Austin, Blinken and Sullivan, idk about McGurk.
Don't forget Kirby. He is the smarmiest spokesperson and I hope he gets relegated to the out of state, low budget hotel, kitchen porter.
Aipac pays her too much.
Rashida Talib is a badass!
Delusional if you think Harris is taking a brave stance. Lmao. Yall are crazy.
Delusional if you think Trump/Vance would not make anything worse there.
Why did she even say anything? Not only did she do the wrong thing, she went OUT OF HER WAY to do the wrong thing. Does she not realize she’s going to get labeled pro-Hamas regardless of whatever she says and does? Uggh I hate watching Democrats score own goals
She wants Trump to win.
Detractors can label her however they want...the issue is resonating with voters big time. It won't hurt her polling if she goes against Israel. Almost every poll taken since last October has shown this. Question is whether she'll go against the Israeli lobbys that are so powerful in Washington
I don't get people on this channel. Harris called for an immediate and permanent ceasefire. She called for a two state solution. She denounced the killing of civilians. For all we know, she may have privately told Netanyahu that his aid is over in January if she wins. What is wrong with what she said?
@GSP-76 she has to go that route if she wants to win. I won't vote for her, let alone campaign, unless she comes out swinging in defense of human rights.
Its not an own goal though. She's not on our team even if we're expected to be on hers.
Shes still the vice president. She’s still part of a functioning government. Let’s see what happens when she’s in charge
This is like telling a suicidal person "well you're not dead yet?"
She will be the same and will continue to supply weapons

Stop projecting. Anyone with common sense didn't get excited by kamala Harris.
@@theomargoles4217and the only excitement there was had to do with the fact Joe Biden wasn’t the choice on the democratic side anymore. Other progressive channels have referred to the news as a sigh of relief, which we all needed. And they’re right. Which is the only real excitement genuine people felt
@@Hayden_Lummus Exactly.
Lmao I’m still excited and coconut pilled. She’s not gonna wear a terrorist scarf the very first time she ever addresses the issue, lol.
The tweet with the written press release was pretty bad, but in fairness she saw some rogue idiot writing "Hamas is coming" on the Columbus statue which undermined the integrity of the protest.
And dont forget she snubbed Netanyahu's speech. She probably didnt want to seem completely anti-Israel and alienate the Jewish vote.
Her post Bibi meeting press briefing was awesome. She stated openly and clearly she supports a two-state solution (independent Palestinian state), a full cease fire, unrestricted aid to Palestinian civilians and return of the hostages and their remains to Israel. She threaded the needle and managed to take a solid stance. But until she gets elected, she probably cant do anything unless Joe grows a backbone.
She stumbled a bit, but stuck the landing in my opinion.
I just saw Harris’s speech and the CNN interview with Nikki Haley back to back and I can tell you, if you don’t like Harris’s stance, you’re gonna *hate* the alternative.
You can rant against the Dems and blame any potential loss on this issue for what good that’ll do, but it’s the people of Gaza who will pay the price if trump wins.
The left needs to ground itself in objective, measurable, material utility. Materialist praxis is the only way. There's just no room for pure idealism and moral fantasies in this situation.
I think this is as far left as she can realistically openly claim to be on the issue and still be in a position to make positive change. Any commitment to humanitarian aid in Gaza is already a vast departure from Biden's absolute refusal to condemn the slaughter.
The people of Palestine 8:39 are paying the price now, what are you talking about? Genocide is happening now.
I mean, as a native, disabled trans woman... I really don't want to live under trump
Emma is right standard democrats are willing to challenge Israel if the base wants it, but the clock is ticking, every year the Israeli lobby grows stronger eventually there will be no strength to challenge them in the democratic party if we don't make a stand right now.
I don't think they're growing stronger each year though. This is really the first time any large voter group has been hounding the dnc on this issue. The squad although small is an increase from 0 from Congressional Representatives who support Palestine. We need to keep pressure on keep protesting and we need to vote not just in the general but in the primaries too
Democrats are paid by Aipac. KH had taken 5.4 million from them
This is so disgusting. Does anyone in our government have any balls anymore??
No, they gave one to the government of Israel.

Blah blah blah, scare tactics for the millionth time, and then you'll come up with a new one next election. Look up the story of the boy who cried wolf.

She hasn't proven she's different yet.
Is there a full list out there somewhere about who attended the Netanyahu congress address?
Alright, I've noticed that very few people seem to have actually listened to the statements Harris has made and identified the things she has and has not specifically said. So here. I'll break it down for you.
She has:
-Verbally committed to the existence of Israel as a state and its right to defend itself.
-Also directly condemned Hamas as a terrorist organization.
-Explicitly condemned the violence against civilians.
-Directly placed responsibility for the lack of aid flowing into Gaza on Israel and said they need to do better.
-Called openly for a ceasefire, which the Biden admin required her to amend to "...for six weeks".
-Condemned specifically the pro-Hamas and flag burning protests.
-Expressed support for the right to peacefully protest.
She has not:
-Praised or expressed support for Netanyahu specifically.
-Condoned the slaughter of civilians in Gaza.
-Excused the lack of humanitarian relief passing into Gaza.
-Condemned the protests as a whole.
so literally no change from the biden position?
She needs to be clear that she will stop the genocide.
And I think she should ask Katie Porter to be her VP.
Man its hard to believe you guys cant see how thin of a tightrope she has to walk on this issue... and the intricate nuances of this issue. She cant just go at Netanyahu's throat right away. Its extremely complicated and takes more than a simplistic approach. I think she laid some groundwork to take him on later... but she's not president yet. ITs pragmatic... you guys need a shot of reality.
Emma sees it and has explicitly talked about it. She just got shouted down by Matt and Binder before she could even get a full thought out.
Next to Netanyahu, Putin looks like a moderate.
I had hope not much but some. I thoughtmaybe someone would actually stand up for people who can't defend themselves
To quote the lyrics from Childish Gambino's song. "This is America."

Compared to Donald Trump, Kamala Harris would be an absolute *gift* to Palestine.
If he wins, they’re done. Period.
If she wins, they’ve got a chance. Period.
How do they have a chance with Kamala if she keeps Bidens MO? Gaza got obliterared under his policies. You think Kamala will somehow fix things?
No, she has taken a lot more money from Aipac than he has. Bought and sold. Netanyahu is calling the shots
Also, if publicly calling for an end to genocide costs her support among likely Democrat voters, someone needs to say out loud that they care more about erasing Palestinians than they do about fighting fascism.

He really needs to resign!
Sure she can. Political courage is a choice. She is choosing to tout the same lines as Biden on this issue. She could take a divergent stance if she wanted to. Originally the VPs were supposed to be a potential counter to the President. Another checks and balances. A carbon-copy VP is unfortunate, in this case complicit in genocide.
But he won't, not unless something happens to him. It was a group effort by so many dems within the party and high value donors to even get him to drop from the race to get reelected.
I have a question. As someone who's ancestors are from South Asia why do the american left think that every single country in Asia has a positive view of Palestine? I mean some countries do like Malaysia,Indonesia, Pakistan but there's also a huge majority who actually doesn't like Singapore, Myanmar,Thailand,India, Phillipines etc.I think the american left needs to understand that not all the folks in the East actually has a great image of Palestine or even Middle east for that matter
Emma is 100% right here and i can hear the confusion in her voice when Matt seems to push back on her for having any kind of hope for a better situation for Gaza. He wants it so bad, it makes him so upset, that he will seemingly argue with Emma over what boils down to a semantics game and leave her kinda blind sided by how explicitly negative he is at the even idea that maybe Harris will be better than Biden. I can emphasize with Matt's anger but he was denying Emma that Harris could be better and he actually didn't know her record as well as her. This interaction made me feel weird about him.
glad i'm not the only one who felt really uncomfortable from that interaction. i align with emma the most so i'm obviously a bit biased, but that kind of aggression toward her for being optimistic made me feel a bit sick and i don't know how to fully articulate this, but it almost triggered the same feeling i get in my gut when i instinctively recognize misogynistic behavior/dogwhistles from people.
@@vibelet Yes, I totally agree. I think he literally scoffed at her. Some kind of dismissive tone/gesture. The rant about zionists controlling all our politicians would be considered almost a "mask off" moment if he were right wing. I understand that Zionism is almost completely divorced from Judaism or Jewish people, I'm not saying they mean the same thing. But that moment felt very single minded and a bit unhinged. Just seemed very similar to someone who was far right talking about Zionism as a guise for Jews. I know that is not Matt's intent, I am under no impression he is right wing or antisemitic at all. I think he lost his cool here a bit and took it out on someone in the heat of *his* moment. Hope he apologizes later when he's chill and realizes his anger towards the situation manifested in a toxic way.
Yeah this one was rough
I'm getting a vibe of purity testing leftism, allowing perfect to be the enemy of good from Matt. Emma is right.
@@TitanBait agreed. i spent pretty much the entire video wishing sam had been on this episode, i feel like he tends to match emma's level-headed perspective on things the most and maybe the conversation would've been less of a weird dogpile on her had he been there :/
What was her statement? Incomplete video.
I think what Harris will do is split the difference-- she will do good actions but in a way that refers to Israel by name but be part of a broader policy shift.
Highly likely, because unlike what the more idealistic among us believe, it's literally nonviable to rhetorically be against Israel itself in American politics. The math is not there. But being able to tell Netanyahu to his face that he has to stop the mass slaughter of civilians is a step up from Biden. Literally too early to judge follow-through because of how time functions, but people really need to ground themselves in reality.
Yeah I think a lot of people are getting mad she's not doing a sudden shift but honestly she can't. That shift has to be happening during her term

Got a gut feeling she'll go for Shapiro and it worries me. Hope she'll pick Beshear or Walz.

Emma is naive
Doesn't seem like Emma's beliefs can stand up to any real time scrutiny. She was saying all kinds of dumb things about Harris's statement on Twitter that she didn't say here.
Is it being too coconut pilled to ask if maybe Kamala doesn't feel like she can make those waves right now, and maybe she should get a chance to take brave stances once she has won the presidency? I don't really have that much hope it will happen but it feels like she should have the chance.
Literally right after I stopped writing that Emma says that exact thing. I feel like I got an A in class
@@palatonian9618 yeah I really don't think a lot of younger people understand how 80% of America Israel Palestine conflict and how easy it can be misconstrued in the run up to an election.

Change course Kamala and apologize to the true patriots the protesters against a horribble genocide 😮
Yeah, alienate all of the base that is pro-Israel, which is much of the country, so we can be sure Trump wins and hastens the destruction of Gaza. Good thinking! Kamala will be better than Trump on I/P, that should be all that matters. It's an extra bonus that she's better on Gaza than Biden, but criticizing her on Gaza only serves to worsen her chances and as such increase the chances of a much worse candidate winning
its going to be superhard to tell if her "tough on israel" stance is performative or actually something meaningful.I just dont think the military industrial complexa and aipac is going to allow someone pro-palestine to get in power at this point in time.
She was a pragmatic coward during the 2020 primary, she'll continue to be one indefinitely. She's bette than Trump, but it's very clear she'll always serve her pragmatisim.

I don't know how I'd keep from shouting 'fuck you' any pause in his speech...
yet again, another un-palatable candidate foisted upon you. Hard to ignore that the plays are so repetitive that they suggest the existence of a playbook...
That sounds like pretty conspiratorial thinking. It's more the consequences of first past the post. Due to the two-party system, both parties try to play as close to the middle as possible. Anybody that has a more extreme stance will reluctantly vote for the closer candidate. Going far to a side means that you cede the middle to the opposition.
Her statement about the so-called protesters was very specific. She was calling out the absolutely ridiculous levels of vandalism and burning of things. NOT peaceful protesting. Yet you all know that but act as if she was somehow silencing dissension. Explain to me oh so valiant ones what purpose is using red spray pain all over statues and monuments with the label HAMAS? That’s essentially a crime. I love this channel but whenever this topic comes up you all short circuit and lost the ability to gauge situations properly.
It's paint on a statue man. They just hosted a foreign war criminal who talks about Americans like they are servile morons, while taking billions of tax dollars from them to commit genoclde. How else do you get your message across, when 9 months of protests have no effect? Hear the voice of the people, the longer they are ignored the more enraged they become.
17:40 “why? Who’s it for?” It’s for the people who aren’t ideological about Palestine who see people burning a us flag and threatening Hamas is coming.
Harris’s statement was fine, tbh.
