I make $24/hr, live in the cheapest housing possible, and still live paycheck to paycheck while my boss is going on vacations in Europe. Dude's not wrong.
Whose fault is it that you make $24 hr? Are people supposed to just give you a high paying job for just being alive. Be your own boss. Improve YOURself. Stop complaining.
@@Wolf_DeNoire Yes. Everyone should have guaranteed jobs that pay enough to live and not just survive. You’ll never be a billionaire, so stop defending them, they steal from the people.
Is it Kamala fault that you make $24.00 per hour. Kamala wanted to implement a type of cost control to manage increasing cost. What is Trump plan? What has Bernie done? He is a senator with a platform to use, and he waited until after the election to act like he has the answer. Kamala lost because she is a Blackwoman, and some White voters stayed home because of it.
Harris primary policy message was about the economy; child tax credit, first time home-buyer down payment, business tax credit, addressing price gouging. She talked about it EVERY time that she spoke. How could anyone say that she didn’t address the economy?
1) absolute crumbs in respect to the real problem. 2) it wasn’t her main focus, her main focus was to reassure republican that she wouldn’t do anything really impactful and reassure center-right democrats that her administration would represent continuity and no change. The working class in the Us has been facing gigantic problems for years, what you need is radical policies, not milquetoast soundbites that you’re probably going to renege after the election.
I am a white woman. I have known plenty of working-class white men. Since the 1970's. Of course, not all working class white men are bigots. But many of them are. The last people they will blame for their problems are rich white men who tear down women and minorities. They blame the women and minorities for their problems. There is no point in reaching out to them about economic justice. They don't really care. They are proud of their status even when they don't have enough money. But they are angry that all those other people are rising in status. Or so they think.
I think rural America is in for a shock. It’s just been announced that China is going to stop buying Soya from America and buy it from Brazil and Argentina. so now that Trump wants to put tariffs and stuff coming into America, this is about to get really bad
It's not shock that china would do that . remember they stop buying from the us when trump was in Office he, had to bail out the farmers .oh It's about to get really bad real soon .
Damn, Could he let that sister speak?? She had valid points. The establishment did let those pacs steam roll them out of office for speaking up on Gaza. For goodness sake’s they ran Nina Turner off the road 3 times. Bernie wasn’t wrong.
The voters are going to really have to start taking responsibility. They overlook infrastructure and student loan forgiveness for a party that ignored the first and blocked the second. Democrat insulin cap and plans to cap more medicine were ignored for a man who got a union buster to support his campaign. Bernie was wrong.
Roland you’re proving their point!!! Your inability to LISTEN and hear Lauren out is exactly wat the Dem party does. When she doesn’t agree with Roland, he gets into “his feelings” and moves on to another commentator. Roland be PISSED when he feels the Dem party doesn’t listen to him but dang he doesn’t listen to his guests. I don’t want to hear a show where everyone is saying the same thing. If there’s other valid points I want to hear them without Roland being bombastic & yelling over his guests and not allowing them to finish their point bc he doesn’t agree with it. I like that Roland brings a perspective to our stories the regular new orgs don’t but the professionalism is lacking. Too often he gets too emotional when his guests doesn’t agree with him. I couldn’t tune in leading up to the election bc he kept doing this. I want to listen to black perspectives on politics bc we don’t hear them enough but I don’t want the guests disrespected. I listen to diverse perspectives so I listen to MSM as well. I don’t want the moderator to allow lies but it should be their job to allow diverse perspectives. Black ppl are not a monolith in our thinking. Not listening and these EGOs are why we are here. Roland disrespected Lauren by yelling over her and disregarding her points bc he’s emotional about Sanders. Sick of ppl disrespecting Black women & not listening. This is EGO and I’m not sure he sees it. If someone with emotional regulation and respect for their guests starts a similar platform they will grow exponentially. Roland may be limiting his own growth. I don’t want my news to seem like a soft version of reality tv. Roland please go back & look at your tapes so you can continue to improve. We need voices like yours but I need the emotional regulation too!!!

@revolutionary minded8842. A lot of the people that flipped to Trump's side accused the Democratic party of being too left. Supporting transports, social justice issues, etc. I don't think going full on socialism was going to change the outcome.
The pendulum has swung, as it has done many times before. Welcome to the Conservative Era. But when people start realizing that this trickle down, tariff crap isn't going to work for them or the economy, because its impossible for Trump to serve two masters at the same time; corporations and the working class. Because they're on opposite sides of the spectrum. People will catch on and realize that they were lied to.

Black Fragility on display, stop it! Roland you're smart and I agree with you most times. What Bernie said was not controversial. You can't go to work for 40 to 50 hours a week and still live paycheck to paycheck. That's what he was speaking to. A bad economy subscribes to no party.

Why isn't anyone talking about Trump telling his supporters very early on that he had all the votes he needed and that they didn't need to vote. That led me to wonder if something nefarious went on with the election. We should all question the authenticity of this election.

Yeah the more I think about the results the more something seems up here. I refuse to believe Trump won thr popular vote. His approval rating his entire presidency never cracked 40%. You're telling me he won all the swing states AND the popular vote while running the worst campaign imaginable? Bullshit. Trump did absolutely nothing to earn that win and yet he win overwhelmingly. This is a problem if there was actually fraud involved. It means these people have the ability to do it again next time. Trump is too stupid to be subtle so he perhaps gave the game away when he made some of those weird statements about not having to vote again.
Right 💯 And also imagine how Bernie feels this man literally has dedicated his whole life to EQUALITY. Tensions are high right now some are still in the stages of grief of bargaining and blaming. We need to be patient and understanding of one another.
Was searching in the comments for this. Thank you. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed. Love his content but this is the attitude that needs to stop to enable us all to have difficult conversations and thus bring more folk into the fold instead of alienating them.

@@ifyousayso9392it still doesn’t make him a minority and he has never felt, or lived like one. I also been fighting for equality all my life with many roadblocks!
Look at Montana and Idaho homeless and then Alabama when the lesbian couple wanted a baby. They have the nerve to say don't say we voted for it. They talked about trumps legislation and their state's laws making it worse and continue to vote for them. These homeless are the same ppl who laughed at others being shipped to CA and wanted to stick it to the libs. Homelessness is now a global problem due to capitalism (and the markets are not free, they are manipulated by wealthy ppl with access). I still fight for change but I reserve my empathy and sympathy for groups that warrant that. Florida is another state and then wants Fed help when they voted for insurance and healthcare to be the industry they are now. Bernies bs doesn't help but divides he is an opportunist and he also knows what this admin has done. If he really wanted to help, he'd spend more time doing and not talking. He doesn't.
Oh I'm absolutely going to blame them for being incredibly dumb if y'all knew that white people were sexist and racist then why would you select a black female as your candidate seems like a losing strategy that you just keep doubling down on which is fine with me it makes it easier for my party to win the election just saying identity politics is not faring too well for y'all but you just keep doing it it's like a disease you just can't stop
Roland, SERIOUSLY, Clam the HELL DOWN AND "LISTEN". THIS IS THE PROBLEM! Stop Dictating to people HOW they should THINK and INTERPRET things! ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WHY WE LOST.
Roland is an establishment plant and he's mad that a white man that has had a consistent message for the last 40 years is popular with black people. Dr. William Barber and Bernie Sanders are allies, but Roland is playing identity politics against Bernie and he would rather see a black face in charge even if the black face is a neoliberal that campaigns with Dick and Liz Cheney. It's truly unbelievable. Any time truth comes out he interrupts his guests.
This is why I don't watch Roland. He makes some good points but let other people speak and just listen. I mean its your show nobody can take it from you so treat your guest like guest and hear them out. The conversation is more interesting that way. The other thing is if you're wrong just say ok I understand where you're coming from and move on. He sticks to a point until people are just quite or say very little.
Roland can you SHUT UP and stop cutting people off this is not about what you think you asked the lady for an answer and you kept cutting her off and attacking her for her comment typical male chauvinist misogynistic attitude!
Roland, Roland, Roland. You talk about uplifting Black folks yet you're over talking your Black guests. Bernie isnt wrong and y'all know it. Roland is mad because he's one of those Democrats that Bernie is talking about...Roland isn't apart of the working class. Man shut up all that loud talking.
Roland is obnoxious, and enjoys playing the victim card. I used to be on the Democratic train wreck only thing they whine about is race, and sexuality to get Black voters. The same immigrants they will bend backwards for voted red bcos even they see how phony and crazy the Democrats are.
Dude do your research the Democrats have save this economy of the past 30 yrs. Just do your research and see when the country prospered. The GOP will create a new disaster but you will be hit harder then anyone because you are the first fired.
Roland is correct, the working class would have made big gain with Kamala’s plan, right now they will pay more taxes under Trump’s plan. There are a few channels that break down the plans and u can see them. They voted against their own interest they just don’t know it.
@@tondelayoperkins4895AMEN, the reason why the Republicans done away with abortions and anything else for reproduction is because they want more white babies to have a bigger white race. Listen to what they are saying people look between the lines under the lines behind the lines wherever you have to look, there’s always another message being said other than what they are displaying, that’s always been the agenda
Roland is doing exactly what he has always done and so has the Dems and thats the problem, they don't learn from their mistakes, blaming everyone but themselves
Roland too forgets that Bernie did speak to a multi-racial coalition that was invested in the working places Also Roland needs to stop yelling at Lauren. She's a voice of sanity by comparison to Roland.
@@BirdsGang87 The popular vote didn't show that this would make a difference this time. HOWEVER, yes, get rid of the electoral college, get ranked choice voting federally mandated, end gerrymandering. There's tons of stuff that allow broken results that could be put on a more fair track. But as you know, fairness is not inherent in our political system.
She kept interrupting him, it’s rude to not let someone finish what they’re saying. He said hold on many times, like she didn’t want to hear that. She started talking about something else, how the hell she gone take over his show
Roland is so emotional, he doesn't even let you finish your argument. I wouldn't even recommend debating him on his platform. Let people TALK. You sound like a Fox News anchor on the left.
I have to agree with Sanders on this. The DNC is abandoning all the working class. Roland is incorrect here and as long as the DNC does not see the issue that Bernie has been pointing out for years then they will continue to have issue.
While it's true that both the DNC and RNC are corporately backed and by wealthy ppl. The stark difference is that only one group has programs and support to the middle class and poor, who actually make up more of the US population than the 1% who are super wealthy. The middle class pays the most taxes and those taxes go to support the poor and the programs that keep them afloat. Repubs are for the wealthy. But the yt poors keep voting for Repubs who run their states. The poorest states in the country are run by Repubs and keep them poor, and those poor yt ppl keep voting for them consistently. Bernie needs to talk to that group and ask them why they continuall do that. They get the most abortions, welfare, and use social programs the most. Thus, Bernie talk to them and ask they why they keep doing that!
Bernie Sanders’s initials is BS for a reason. Trump said everything stupid he could think of, him and his followers did everything they could to leave out as many people as possible, he went on record as saying the Biden administration wasn’t doing enough for Israel and if he loss the Jewish community was the reason, he never came up with a working class agenda in his first go round or now, etc. Read any history book and look at the stats of what two demographics voted for him over 70% and 75%, then the reason he won is right in your face.
So when the Dems saved the pensions for the teamsters that’s nothings? Stop the games and be real the Dems are a coalition political party in a center right county while being an international superpower with nukes… can they do better? Yes but only if they’re in the majority and voted in by voters who expect voting once every 4 years to solve these issues.
@@peni1641 He ran under Dem because we operate under a 2 party system. A 3rd party has no chance. Plus the Dems never wanted Bernie and thwarted his efforts from jump. Remember those leaked emails from then DNC head Debbie Wasserman-Schultz? Remember Donna Brazille leaking questions to Hillary?

@De_Sava no he just didn't like the points she was making about Kamala's messaging vs Bernie's unspecifc scolding of what we know to be true about dems
Roland is correct,though.Poor and working class whytes do typically vote against their interests so they don't align with poor and working class black people.That's a historical fact.
I was about to say. Does Roland acknowledge the fact that 1) Trump got a disproportionate number of votes from disaffected minorities, and 2) He got fewer votes than his last election, but Kamala lost even more votes than him? As much as people voted for him, far many more chose not to vote or didn't find Kamala, and her campaign could never reach out to the voters Trump got, but Sanders did back in 2016 Edit: I haven't seen the video, and won't till I know he acknowledged this, otherwise I don't like this attitude of "go talk to the white folks, old white man" schtick
These poor white folks will vote for their complexion. The “landowners” knew it and they know it now. That’s why Trump did not have to campaign on economics. He campaign on the fear of losing whiteness and power.
50% of 60% percent of the voters that voted is not half the country. Kamala ran on an economic message, democracy, and rights and Trump ran on people trying to change your children trans at school and deport legal and illegal immigrants and he won (many of the people who voted for him voted for their own demise. I don't know what there is to listen to when they voted for the opposite of what they say they want (and didn't take any time to compare real issues). Working class yts voted for Trump but down ballot Democrats in NC who ran on the same message as Harris, we got to talk about race in this country and stop coddling yt people. The trans ads worked too well on wc Latino men and the 20% percent of black men. Economic policies didn't have anything to do with it.
Explain the math? They wont vote for Democrats because Democrats won’t cater enough to them. However they will continue to or increasingly vote for republicans regardless of how much it hurts them? If they didn’t vote that would make sense, what’s the sense in voting for Republicans?
Roland, please play this back and listen to yourself. Then, apologize. You are yelling at this wonderful, intelligent woman. Absolutely not acceptable.😢
I don't think Hispanic working class men voted for Trump due to racism. They've been suffering under this economy and Kamala should have been speaking more to them.
@tocktick20 both sides are anti black and so are millions of blacks. God cannot use people who look down on the skin color He gave them. Not pride but having a sound mind. 2 Corinthians 11:20

Bernie Sanders was right, Roland is a clown for this one. You just as bad as Jaime Harrison, who by the way lost his election to Lindsey Graham. Black people would agree with Bernie policies over y'all centrist bs.
What policies? Did she have anything that wasn't means tested Republican lite rhetoric? If you're talking about "tax credits," get real. People got excited when she talked about stopping price gouging and then the donors got mad and she quit talking about it!
Her messaging wasn't effectively getting out. From talking to alot of nonvoters, or Trumpers. The message they got was , Trump=Bad, and restoring Abortion Rights. There is a messaging problem in the Democrat Party. This is something the Democrat Party have admitted they have a problem with for years. Much of this is to Conservative News Bias, but I think it is a bit more complicated now as I think many people who don't view themselves as Conservative and choose not to view Conservative biased articles/shows are getting news from Social Media sources some of which are Left Wing Grift sources.
@@wesleystreet She never stopped talking about price gouging she even covered it in her closing statements. Y’all stopped listening because she is a woman who is highly qualified.

One thing the trolls kept saying about Harris is that she kept starting every interview with "I came from a middle class family"...my mother wasn't able to buy her first home until I turned 13)..plus she always ended with "...not just to get by, but to get ahead" so her messaging was clear about the economy and working class.

How is Bernie right? So democrats who outlined a plan for housing and small business help, the ACA keeping older folks in their homes including vision, hearing and capping prescription meds ignoring the working class? The Republicans have no plan at all for poor people but to further gouge them and to help the billionaire class.
Her policies which she stated multiple times were for the better of the working class. Union is working class, she has so many union guys at her rallies. If they didn’t get the message it’s cause they had their eyes closed.
Bernie is wrong because what he said was totally one sided and way too skewed. Of coures Dems should be more concerned with working class than they are. But they should be doing many other things better too. How about climate change? Do working class care about climate change? How about racism? BLM? Do working class care about that?
@dadama925 All losers politically. Hence the loss. Bernie said what is obvious. The real issue is that Bernie said Biden and Harris were super progressive a week ago. And we all know that is BS. His new statement is obvious truth. He just has little credibility. Harris told a grass roots oriented Kennedy to kick rocks and then she clinges to a warmongering Cheney. We need more Bernie type confessions. These are politicians not your grandma. No kids gloves, just cold analysis is needed.
I thought Kamala did talk about the economy and making it better when she said she was going after price gouging, giving people money for housing giving parents 6000 dollars in the first year of the their kids life. These are ways to help working class and the economy. So she did speak on it on several times. They need to stop blaming democrats, stop ignoring race and blame those that voted for Trump. They should have known better. Trump showed them that he doesn’t care about anyone but himself, including the working class, is guilty of 34 felons, is a racist, a rapist, said he was gonna be a dictator, said he was gonna help his rich friends and not the rest of us. Etc. Yet, they ignored that. This is all about them wanting power, being ignorant or thinking if they side with white supremacy even if they are not white, they are safe. Frustrating.
@@missy8758 she stopped talking about price gouging corporations. That should have been central to her campaign, she was campaigning with Liz Cheney, that killed any momentum she had. Yes she had good policies but if people don’t hear it, it means nothing. Democrats and the media accept republican framing. It’s time to fire the consultants and strategists who lost to Trump but filled their pockets.
Exactly right. So tired of people not holding ignorant voters to account. Those who voted Trump or stayed home are responsible for Trump being elected.
Preventing price gouging is important during emergencies like covid, hurricanes etc. It does not help, however, if the normal prices are way too high. Prices have gone up 20% in the last four years. People's paychecks have not. And for the people who cannot afford to own a home, the down-payment assistance is not helpful. There are many people who also don't have kids.
And yet there are many people, like myself, who are in dire financial situations. I am childless, I cannot afford a house, and even without price gouging, groceries have nearly doubled from what I was paying a few years ago. My rent had gone up $400 dollars a month in one year and recently I have been laid off. Once unemployment runs out, I'm probably going to live with my family so I can get back on my feet. If I didn't have that, I'd be homeless. Additionally, she had no plan to overhaul our Healthcare system. She rejected and distanced herself from Medicare for All as soon as she was nominated. So I think it all boils down to how she was speaking about it. And also how substantive here policies actually were.
She said that for each of her flip flops, her values haven't changed. I didn't see a replacement for Medicare for All? She not once mentioned that Healthcare should be a right to all citizens regardless of financial situation. I still voted for her. But was I impressed or optimistic after hearing her economic proposals? Absolutely not. It felt like she was putting tiny band-aids on a gaping wound and calling it a day. Unfortunately, that is typical with both parties and I think we're going to continue to see the American people being discontent with our economic situation until the core issues are addressed. And I think that's why Bernie resonates so well with people. He actually addressed the root of the problem.
Roland is right on one thing here folks, Sanders is incapable of addressing real concerns when he ignores uncomfortable facts. bernie can’t handle that racism plays some part in this issue with worker solidarity. Bernies white voter numbers plummeted in the 2020 primary run he made, after white working class said that sanders wasn’t doing enough to appeal to them, and had way too many black and brown workers in his coalition Furthermore how come Bernie never points out the polling that shows that white working class think black people are a coddled class that have way too much, and that it is whites who are more poverty stricken? maybe that’s why they will side with anti union, anti worker politicians and policies on the right? No other reason to vote against your own interest unless you think people you don't think deserve benefits are getting them... Cause yeah how come bernie never points out why white working class side with anti union, anti worker policies and politicians whenever they talk about affirmative action and black workers being involved or getting a slice of the pie? Why does bernie never mention the unions that get caught undermining black/minority workers cause the white union members don't want black, brown and asian members in the coalition? all of these are real things that occur and disprove the notion that the working class are all united in solidarity it’s a fact that polls, and studies show white working class will be against welfare, and or workers benefits if they think black and brown workers will have access as well
He didn't lie. It amazes me that even after losing the election, house, and senate, you still don't understand. You're part of the problem, and that gets on my damn nerves. You are a sad person, absolutely no backbone, Roland. Democrats we're offering nothing. you're a liar.

@@darrelledison7180 yes...I did listen. I didn't agree with the way Bernie directed his frustrations. He should have stated 1st what the Biden administration HAS accomplished for us...the working people! 1) supporting unions & collective bargaining. 2) TRYING to dismiss student debt. 3) raising the minimum wage for federal workers. 4) saving pension money from Wallstreet. People forget...JOE MANCHIN was a NO VOTE. And Kristen Sinema. And go figure they left the Democrat Party for their rich donors. Money over their constituents. Abolish Citizens United. That would be a great subject for Roland Martin...who I trust & admire! We're in this together. ✌🏼 p.s. wtf has the Republican party done for ..we the people? Lies,hate & fear mongering. And they watch Fox propaganda.
I'm not sure why they're so mad at Sanders. Blue no matter who people didn't learn in 16 and it seems like they don't want to learn now. Also, the short haired chick twisted his words, he never said abandon everything besides economic stuff. He's very anti-war and got arrested protesting segregation... it's dumb to treat one of the few non-bribed politicians like an enemy.
I would never forget what the establishment Dems did to him. He was winning every state in the 2016 primary when they effed him over for Clinton now look what happened. AGAIN!!!
Roland you are wrong on this bernie has been talking about the establishment gettin all the money and not the ppl who pay their taxes....it doesn't matter white black or blue..if you broke you broke... where the hell are the policies???
Bernie ran for president, and he delivered that same message to the voters, but it didn't help him get the nomination. Therfore that was not the reason for the white community that didn't vote for Harris. If it was their main concern they would have voted for Bernie. Race and gender are the reasons that Harris lost. .
And WTH has Bernie Sanders actually done for the working middle class other than run his mouth now is not the time to Monday morning quarterback because he also campaigned for the VPs policies so let's see him stand up to Trump and his cronies.
As black as I am. I’m realizing Roland is a heart to heart democrat. When he speaks he speaks for the democrats not for black people.. it just sounds like he speaks for blacks
Thank you for seeing it. This is no different than people in your family who talk this way. They claim to be pro black but they're really just pro Democrat. They'll block out any progressive voice especially Bernie Sanders because mainstream media told them that he was radical when he just wants basic rights for everyone that other developed countries have
The guests are missing the point. Everybody is missing the point. Kamala lost the election because Trump ran a racist campaign which convinced White people to vote against their interests. The Republican party has done this in the past.
Roland, i respect your views, but don't yell at your guests and let them speak. once they are done, disagree peacefully, and give your views calmly. Respect them. I agree that Kamala did her best to give out economic policies and she had plans for the working class... but every time that she did, with specific details, people either tuned out (because they, secretly, didn't WANT to hear it) or they flat out, ignored it. and here, i am going to cut and paste a statement from a woman who posted this comment on youtube, after the election: 'I'm a 60 -yr old white woman in Ohio. I voted for Harris. I never voted for Trump. It's simply racism, and because she's a woman.' it's really as simple as that. People who complain about the Harris campaign being flawed for overlooking the working class is ludicrous. people were just looking for an excuse not to vote for her. and if economics did have something to do with her not getting elected, it was more like she was suffering from the mistakes of previous regimes. but i don't see how Republicans are any better than them. i think both parties fail in that regard.
America was told for 3 years that their president wasn’t too old and was capable of doing his job. The debate showed that was a flat out lie. Prior to Harris running, she had very poor popularity, yet as soon as Biden stepped back, over night Harris was this incredibly popular sensation. That strategy is going to work for people who are democrats, but for the undecided voters, it’s almost offensive how much they were trying to gaslight the nation. I think results from yesterday in the swing states reflect that.She ran a dogshit campaign and the Dems thought it a good idea to run one of the single most unpopular candidates imaginable. Can't be shocked this happened at all. Kamala was never going to win over the key demos that she needed to because it's like she didn't even fucking try to.
@@redwanur i disagree with you that she ran a dogshit campaign. if that's what you believe, then fine, and i respect that, but please respect that i have the right to disagree with you. i think she did the best anyone could do for a 100-day campaign, and beyond. Part of the reason she was not popular was due to the reasons that i specified already. she was the first VP who was a woman of color. immediately, there was going to be backlash and disfavor to those who did not want to see that. no, it cannot be denied, no matter how much you prefer to believe otherwise. I disagree that she didn't try to win over the key demos. i believe she TRIED very much. Another part of the reason that sprung her lack of popularity was also due to the previous regime doing everything in their power to belittle the present elected officials. Trump spent all 4 years of Biden's presidency bashing him and Kamala, instead of letting them have their time as president and VP. that constant haranguing was bitter, awful, and had a lasting effect. He poisoned their time, out of his own disgusting need to not accept a defeat. and if you expected her to just give up/give into that, no! you don't response to hate by crawling away. you gotta stand your ground, and keep going. I admit that it would have been better that Biden (who did his best when he inherited a shitshow once getting into office) had stepped down sooner, but her lack of popularity stemmed from three things: racism, sexism, and defamation spread through disinformation and hate speech. you shouldn't crawl away from bullies, like Trump. you have to at least, try and stand up to them. She did that. for that, i appreciate it. and was she doomed from the very beginning. Yes. but i don't blame her. i blame the society that we are in, and the circumstances that tore her down. if we Americans could not see that she was the better candidate, because of, as you put it 'gaslighting', that's our failure, not hers. third, hatred of her is your choice, but it was ill-founded. She did the role of VP, and did it precisely what was her job to do. Especially since VPs are rarely heard about during presidencies. they do not control policy, but support the current cabinet and take the President's place, if something were to happen. her stepping in, after Biden stepped down, was the logical choice. Was i aware that the cards were stacked against her? yes. That's what happens whenever you are the first woman/woman of color to do something. failure always occurs. but the fact that she got that many votes, despite it all... is miraculous. And what of her actual actions, that you rail against? In her time as the VP, what about her time that she spent overseas as an ambassador? what of actual duties that she performed that you consider terrible? please give me actual moments of her time as VP that you disliked? Like please give me particular examples. Because, if not, it adds to another argument that a youtuber said is the main reason that people did not vote for her: People really have no idea what the hell is going on.
And I thought that I was the only person on planet Earth mentioning that ... THANKS. Trump accused the Democrats of stealing elections and he was right. No, they didn't steal anything from him, BUT they stole it from Bernie - that's a fact. And then, because Bernie's a team player, he didn't say a thing. Because he was on board to make sure that 🍊🤠💩 never entered the White House ever again. Well, when the Democratic party couldn't make that happen, Bernie's B-A-C-K. it's as simple as that ...
Sanders lost in South Carolina and every southern state. He was not known in the south where most primary voters resides. It is impossible to win democratic primaries without southern voters. Sanders barely won Iowa, was viable in states outside the south. All democratic candidates has to be viable in the south where the population is more diverse. He lost every southern state to President Biden mainly because of the black vote which did not know Sanders at all. No it was not stolen he lost heavily.
Then why did he lose white working class voters in the 2020 run? look it up, his numbers with white working class dropped at the same time his support with black and brown supporters went up hmmm... seems like a coincidence no?
Rollin Martin is a prime example of what narcissism looks like. If you continue to follow this you will always lose. Everyone isn't going to have the same opinion as you.
I agree with bernie i voted for democrats but us working class people have been abandoned and corporate greed isn't going to be taken care of anytime soon
Y'all sound stupid as hell well guess what Trump and his homies own the corporations so you think the greed is going to stop by voting for Trump hell nah!!!!! Trump has no plans for working class and he made no promises at all period!!!

Trump has certain appeals like the issues I mentioned, he is against them.
@@dadama925 For starters, cavorting around with Liz Chaney for the entire last month of the campaign. Plus she had very few coherent global proposals - there was no message - just a few policies put together on the fly. That's what Bernie is talking about. Not entirely KH's fault as she was thrown into the campaign with barely 100 days to go. But you sure can put the blame on Biden...
@@ericschultz6539 What a load of crap. BS got in bed with the far right and still does. His big tent included the far right. His ilk over there at TYT where Ana K supports far right and is standing up for Trump. The reason i started calling them fauxgressives is just that the phony hypocrisy when they embrace the far right and call it evolving. There are anti-trump ppl and gop who do not like the direction of the gop and Bernie nor most Dems are not the ppl to speak to them. That is is why Liz was put on the trail to get to those deep red states. Who do you think could speak to them. Oh wait, you think they should not have been talked to. Some of them are those very ppl that Lauren is talking about, they are not all wealthy. Be honest, they would not have listened to Bernie. I don't agree with the Liz move but Bernie and his divisive ways is not the way either and he know his trickle down yt boy politics and theory is not right. btw, the dems did speak to many of their interests and passed several bills. Roland is right to call that out. Many of those states/cities now know their gop candidate voted against many of those policies then took credit for it. They voted for the white gop. BS needs to listen too. He is establishment too and will not listen either. Bernie will no more work with Dems (but will take their $$) any more than Dems will work with him. It's why he should go just as much as tired dixiecrat dems.
You can't help people that won't vote for you.The Democrats party need to find new voters .Stop trying to convince racist white people that will never vote for them to vote for them .
Cause and effect. Young(er) white men supported Trump by a large amount, and they somehow decided to go vote. Do you think that was because Dems abandoned the working class? Every time you lose, you have to make major changes? The last I looked, Trump lost in 2020 and did not make any changes other than becoming more extreme.
I am so very glad one more person talk about Rev. Barber 👏👏👏👏 that’s what I wrote about here and I will continue to do so. I am one person with no power but this is the only thing I can do 😢
Roland's problem with Bernie is that he is a white man leading the movement. Bernie's message has been consistent for 40 years. Roland wants a black face to lead the movement even if it's a neoliberal like Kamala. He used identity politics against Bernie to make his argument.
I think it's great that none of you seem to get why Kamala Harris and Dems lost because it means you'll continue losing. All of you can't seem to grasp that millions of Americans are done with Dem policies. 😂😂😂
@colinsparman26 me too, I usually go to another show when he does that. Same with morning Joe, can't watch him much when he cuts off his wife or guests.

Respectfully $24 hour doesn't go as far as it did 20 years ago. Unless you live in a state or county w/ a low cost of living , it will be struggle.
Is it Kamala fault that you make $24.00 per hour. Kamala wanted to implement a type of cost control to manage increasing cost. What is Trump plan? What has Bernie done? He is a senator with a platform to use, and he waited until after the election to act like he has the answer. Kamala lost because she is a Blackwoman, and some White voters stayed home because of it.
Harris primary policy message was about the economy; child tax credit, first time home-buyer down payment, business tax credit, addressing price gouging. She talked about it EVERY time that she spoke. How could anyone say that she didn’t address the economy?
Yep, it’s ridiculous.
It puzzles me. Incomprehensible!
she couldnt overcome racism sexism
She didn't send checks with her name on them tho.
1) absolute crumbs in respect to the real problem. 2) it wasn’t her main focus, her main focus was to reassure republican that she wouldn’t do anything really impactful and reassure center-right democrats that her administration would represent continuity and no change.
The working class in the Us has been facing gigantic problems for years, what you need is radical policies, not milquetoast soundbites that you’re probably going to renege after the election.
Roland needs to let people get they point across with out interrupting them all the time. That's so rude .

They're only there for Ro to catch his breath.
You cannot expect a race grifter to do that.

I am a white woman. I have known plenty of working-class white men. Since the 1970's. Of course, not all working class white men are bigots. But many of them are. The last people they will blame for their problems are rich white men who tear down women and minorities. They blame the women and minorities for their problems. There is no point in reaching out to them about economic justice. They don't really care. They are proud of their status even when they don't have enough money. But they are angry that all those other people are rising in status. Or so they think.

I think rural America is in for a shock. It’s just been announced that China is going to stop buying Soya from America and buy it from Brazil and Argentina. so now that Trump wants to put tariffs and stuff coming into America, this is about to get really bad

Taxpayers will foot the bill for farm subsidies, just like they did under Trump - $28 billion!
Damn, Could he let that sister speak?? She had valid points. The establishment did let those pacs steam roll them out of office for speaking up on Gaza. For goodness sake’s they ran Nina Turner off the road 3 times. Bernie wasn’t wrong.
The voters are going to really have to start taking responsibility. They overlook infrastructure and student loan forgiveness for a party that ignored the first and blocked the second. Democrat insulin cap and plans to cap more medicine were ignored for a man who got a union buster to support his campaign. Bernie was wrong.
Because he doesn't want her to make her point!!
Who is they? Because certainly not all democrats think that way and Bernie is a independent.
BooYah !
she lost three times that is not the DNC fault
Roland you’re proving their point!!! Your inability to LISTEN and hear Lauren out is exactly wat the Dem party does. When she doesn’t agree with Roland, he gets into “his feelings” and moves on to another commentator. Roland be PISSED when he feels the Dem party doesn’t listen to him but dang he doesn’t listen to his guests.
I don’t want to hear a show where everyone is saying the same thing. If there’s other valid points I want to hear them without Roland being bombastic & yelling over his guests and not allowing them to finish their point bc he doesn’t agree with it.
I like that Roland brings a perspective to our stories the regular new orgs don’t but the professionalism is lacking. Too often he gets too emotional when his guests doesn’t agree with him. I couldn’t tune in leading up to the election bc he kept doing this. I want to listen to black perspectives on politics bc we don’t hear them enough but I don’t want the guests disrespected.
I listen to diverse perspectives so I listen to MSM as well. I don’t want the moderator to allow lies but it should be their job to allow diverse perspectives. Black ppl are not a monolith in our thinking. Not listening and these EGOs are why we are here.
Roland disrespected Lauren by yelling over her and disregarding her points bc he’s emotional about Sanders. Sick of ppl disrespecting Black women & not listening. This is EGO and I’m not sure he sees it. If someone with emotional regulation and respect for their guests starts a similar platform they will grow exponentially. Roland may be limiting his own growth. I don’t want my news to seem like a soft version of reality tv. Roland please go back & look at your tapes so you can continue to improve. We need voices like yours but I need the emotional regulation too!!!

The pendulum has swung, as it has done many times before. Welcome to the Conservative Era. But when people start realizing that this trickle down, tariff crap isn't going to work for them or the economy, because its impossible for Trump to serve two masters at the same time; corporations and the working class. Because they're on opposite sides of the spectrum. People will catch on and realize that they were lied to.

Yeah the more I think about the results the more something seems up here. I refuse to believe Trump won thr popular vote. His approval rating his entire presidency never cracked 40%. You're telling me he won all the swing states AND the popular vote while running the worst campaign imaginable? Bullshit. Trump did absolutely nothing to earn that win and yet he win overwhelmingly. This is a problem if there was actually fraud involved. It means these people have the ability to do it again next time. Trump is too stupid to be subtle so he perhaps gave the game away when he made some of those weird statements about not having to vote again.

Bullshit @@tonystone10K
Look at Montana and Idaho homeless and then Alabama when the lesbian couple wanted a baby. They have the nerve to say don't say we voted for it. They talked about trumps legislation and their state's laws making it worse and continue to vote for them. These homeless are the same ppl who laughed at others being shipped to CA and wanted to stick it to the libs. Homelessness is now a global problem due to capitalism (and the markets are not free, they are manipulated by wealthy ppl with access). I still fight for change but I reserve my empathy and sympathy for groups that warrant that. Florida is another state and then wants Fed help when they voted for insurance and healthcare to be the industry they are now. Bernies bs doesn't help but divides he is an opportunist and he also knows what this admin has done. If he really wanted to help, he'd spend more time doing and not talking. He doesn't.

Trump had the working class vote especially the white working class. And they voted for trump not necessarily for economic reasons.
Roland is obnoxious, and enjoys playing the victim card. I used to be on the Democratic train wreck only thing they whine about is race, and sexuality to get Black voters. The same immigrants they will bend backwards for voted red bcos even they see how phony and crazy the Democrats are.
Dude do your research the Democrats have save this economy of the past 30 yrs. Just do your research and see when the country prospered. The GOP will create a new disaster but you will be hit harder then anyone because you are the first fired.
Roland is correct, the working class would have made big gain with Kamala’s plan, right now they will pay more taxes under Trump’s plan. There are a few channels that break down the plans and u can see them. They voted against their own interest they just don’t know it.

You're waking up
I have to agree with Sanders on this. The DNC is abandoning all the working class. Roland is incorrect here and as long as the DNC does not see the issue that Bernie has been pointing out for years then they will continue to have issue.
DNC does not care; They would rather have Trump over Bernie b/c he atleast keeps the gravy train rolling.
While it's true that both the DNC and RNC are corporately backed and by wealthy ppl. The stark difference is that only one group has programs and support to the middle class and poor, who actually make up more of the US population than the 1% who are super wealthy. The middle class pays the most taxes and those taxes go to support the poor and the programs that keep them afloat. Repubs are for the wealthy. But the yt poors keep voting for Repubs who run their states. The poorest states in the country are run by Repubs and keep them poor, and those poor yt ppl keep voting for them consistently. Bernie needs to talk to that group and ask them why they continuall do that. They get the most abortions, welfare, and use social programs the most. Thus, Bernie talk to them and ask they why they keep doing that!
Bernie Sanders’s initials is BS for a reason. Trump said everything stupid he could think of, him and his followers did everything they could to leave out as many people as possible, he went on record as saying the Biden administration wasn’t doing enough for Israel and if he loss the Jewish community was the reason, he never came up with a working class agenda in his first go round or now, etc.
Read any history book and look at the stats of what two demographics voted for him over 70% and 75%, then the reason he won is right in your face.
So when the Dems saved the pensions for the teamsters that’s nothings? Stop the games and be real the Dems are a coalition political party in a center right county while being an international superpower with nukes… can they do better? Yes but only if they’re in the majority and voted in by voters who expect voting once every 4 years to solve these issues.

I was about to say. Does Roland acknowledge the fact that 1) Trump got a disproportionate number of votes from disaffected minorities, and 2) He got fewer votes than his last election, but Kamala lost even more votes than him? As much as people voted for him, far many more chose not to vote or didn't find Kamala, and her campaign could never reach out to the voters Trump got, but Sanders did back in 2016
Edit: I haven't seen the video, and won't till I know he acknowledged this, otherwise I don't like this attitude of "go talk to the white folks, old white man" schtick
Being mad at Bernie is like shooting the messenger. Clearly, we need to take a step back and try to understand the other half of the country.
And to Bernie’s point why trump got a larger percentage of the blk & Latino voter’s vote this time around. I think Bernie’s concerns are valid
These poor white folks will vote for their complexion. The “landowners” knew it and they know it now. That’s why Trump did not have to campaign on economics. He campaign on the fear of losing whiteness and power.
@niccolea2086 trump didn't get a larger percentage of black voters. Some blacks didn't show up to vote.
50% of 60% percent of the voters that voted is not half the country.
Kamala ran on an economic message, democracy, and rights and Trump ran on people trying to change your children trans at school and deport legal and illegal immigrants and he won (many of the people who voted for him voted for their own demise. I don't know what there is to listen to when they voted for the opposite of what they say they want (and didn't take any time to compare real issues).
Working class yts voted for Trump but down ballot Democrats in NC who ran on the same message as Harris, we got to talk about race in this country and stop coddling yt people.
The trans ads worked too well on wc Latino men and the 20% percent of black men. Economic policies didn't have anything to do with it.
Explain the math? They wont vote for Democrats because Democrats won’t cater enough to them. However they will continue to or increasingly vote for republicans regardless of how much it hurts them? If they didn’t vote that would make sense, what’s the sense in voting for Republicans?

One thing the trolls kept saying about Harris is that she kept starting every interview with "I came from a middle class family"...my mother wasn't able to buy her first home until I turned 13)..plus she always ended with "...not just to get by, but to get ahead" so her messaging was clear about the economy and working class. Even the trolls knew.
My parents both worked when I was growing up and they couldn't afford a home until they retired years after I was married and used part of my father's pension for a down payment. I always thought we were middle class but I guess not.

Bernie is wrong because what he said was totally one sided and way too skewed. Of coures Dems should be more concerned with working class than they are.

@dadama925 All losers politically. Hence the loss. Bernie said what is obvious. The real issue is that Bernie said Biden and Harris were super progressive a week ago. And we all know that is BS. His new statement is obvious truth. He just has little credibility.
Harris told a grass roots oriented Kennedy to kick rocks and then she clinges to a warmongering Cheney.
We need more Bernie type confessions. These are politicians not your grandma. No kids gloves, just cold analysis is needed.
Roland is too INVESTED in this democratic party and can’t see beyond this party.
I thought Kamala did talk about the economy and making it better when she said she was going after price gouging, giving people money for housing giving parents 6000 dollars in the first year of the their kids life. These are ways to help working class and the economy. So she did speak on it on several times. They need to stop blaming democrats, stop ignoring race and blame those that voted for Trump. They should have known better. Trump showed them that he doesn’t care about anyone but himself, including the working class, is guilty of 34 felons, is a racist, a rapist, said he was gonna be a dictator, said he was gonna help his rich friends and not the rest of us. Etc. Yet, they ignored that. This is all about them wanting power, being ignorant or thinking if they side with white supremacy even if they are not white, they are safe. Frustrating.
@@missy8758 she stopped talking about price gouging corporations. That should have been central to her campaign, she was campaigning with Liz Cheney, that killed any momentum she had.
Yes she had good policies but if people don’t hear it, it means nothing.
Democrats and the media accept republican framing.
It’s time to fire the consultants and strategists who lost to Trump but filled their pockets.
Exactly right. So tired of people not holding ignorant voters to account. Those who voted Trump or stayed home are responsible for Trump being elected.
Preventing price gouging is important during emergencies like covid, hurricanes etc. It does not help, however, if the normal prices are way too high.
Prices have gone up 20% in the last four years. People's paychecks have not.
And for the people who cannot afford to own a home, the down-payment assistance is not helpful. There are many people who also don't have kids.
And yet there are many people, like myself, who are in dire financial situations. I am childless, I cannot afford a house, and even without price gouging, groceries have nearly doubled from what I was paying a few years ago. My rent had gone up $400 dollars a month in one year and recently I have been laid off. Once unemployment runs out, I'm probably going to live with my family so I can get back on my feet. If I didn't have that, I'd be homeless.
Additionally, she had no plan to overhaul our Healthcare system. She rejected and distanced herself from Medicare for All as soon as she was nominated.
So I think it all boils down to how she was speaking about it. And also how substantive here policies actually were.
She said that for each of her flip flops, her values haven't changed. I didn't see a replacement for Medicare for All? She not once mentioned that Healthcare should be a right to all citizens regardless of financial situation.
I still voted for her. But was I impressed or optimistic after hearing her economic proposals? Absolutely not. It felt like she was putting tiny band-aids on a gaping wound and calling it a day. Unfortunately, that is typical with both parties and I think we're going to continue to see the American people being discontent with our economic situation until the core issues are addressed. And I think that's why Bernie resonates so well with people. He actually addressed the root of the problem.
Bernie has always been consistent in his message. He’s just always pushed aside. He’s been the one to support the people’s needs in his message.
Exactly 💯
Agreed
Roland is right on one thing here folks,
Sanders is incapable of addressing real concerns when he ignores uncomfortable facts.
bernie can’t handle that racism plays some part in this issue with worker solidarity.
Bernies white voter numbers plummeted in the 2020 primary run he made, after white working class said that sanders wasn’t doing enough to appeal to them, and had way too many black and brown workers in his coalition
Furthermore how come Bernie never points out the polling that shows that white working class think black people are a coddled class that have way too much, and that it is whites who are more poverty stricken?
maybe that’s why they will side with anti union, anti worker politicians and policies on the right? No other reason to vote against your own interest unless you think people you don't think deserve benefits are getting them...
Cause yeah how come bernie never points out why white working class side with anti union, anti worker policies and politicians whenever they talk about affirmative action and black workers being involved or getting a slice of the pie?
Why does bernie never mention the unions that get caught undermining black/minority workers cause the white union members don't want black, brown and asian members in the coalition?
all of these are real things that occur and disprove the notion that the working class are all united in solidarity
it’s a fact that polls, and studies show white working class will be against welfare, and or workers benefits if they think black and brown workers will have access as well
He didn't lie. It amazes me that even after losing the election, house, and senate, you still don't understand. You're part of the problem, and that gets on my damn nerves. You are a sad person, absolutely no backbone, Roland. Democrats we're offering nothing. you're a liar.

@@darrelledison7180 Damn, you must be Mr Martin's press attaché. Just "Talkin' Loud But Sayin' Nothin' "
@ericschultz6539 No your just not listening in your ignorance your so confident your right your not open to learning the truth this how we get uninformed Chump supporters who vote against their own best interest shut up listen for a change.
@@darrelledison7180 yes...I did listen. I didn't agree with the way Bernie directed his frustrations. He should have stated 1st what the Biden administration HAS accomplished for us...the working people! 1) supporting unions & collective bargaining. 2) TRYING to dismiss student debt. 3) raising the minimum wage for federal workers. 4) saving pension money from Wallstreet. People forget...JOE MANCHIN was a NO VOTE. And Kristen Sinema. And go figure they left the Democrat Party for their rich donors. Money over their constituents. Abolish Citizens United. That would be a great subject for Roland Martin...who I trust & admire! We're in this together. ✌🏼 p.s. wtf has the Republican party done for ..we the people? Lies,hate & fear mongering. And they watch Fox propaganda.
Nah he was spot on. As usual. America doesn’t deserve Bernie. This is a moment of self reflection is now. Not blah blah blah.
I'm not sure why they're so mad at Sanders. Blue no matter who people didn't learn in 16 and it seems like they don't want to learn now. Also, the short haired chick twisted his words, he never said abandon everything besides economic stuff. He's very anti-war and got arrested protesting segregation... it's dumb to treat one of the few non-bribed politicians like an enemy.
I would never forget what the establishment Dems did to him. He was winning every state in the 2016 primary when they effed him over for Clinton now look what happened. AGAIN!!!
But it's up to us to make people understand Bernie's message ...❤
Roland you are wrong on this bernie has been talking about the establishment gettin all the money and not the ppl who pay their taxes....it doesn't matter white black or blue..if you broke you broke... where the hell are the policies???
@@Verde20 Absolutely!
Exactly. He's misplacing his anger
Bernie ran for president, and he delivered that same message to the voters, but it didn't help him get the nomination. Therfore that was not the reason for the white community that didn't vote for Harris. If it was their main concern they would have voted for Bernie.
Race and gender are the reasons that Harris lost.
.
And WTH has Bernie Sanders actually done for the working middle class other than run his mouth now is not the time to Monday morning quarterback because he also campaigned for the VPs policies so let's see him stand up to Trump and his cronies.
@Sistasoulja-825 Thank you!!!! Plain and simple they don't want Bernie's crap either
As black as I am. I’m realizing Roland is a heart to heart democrat. When he speaks he speaks for the democrats not for black people.. it just sounds like he speaks for blacks
Thank you for seeing it. This is no different than people in your family who talk this way. They claim to be pro black but they're really just pro Democrat. They'll block out any progressive voice especially Bernie Sanders because mainstream media told them that he was radical when he just wants basic rights for everyone that other developed countries have
Lauren is ABSOLUTELY right!!
Roland told her haha he is so zesty. I don't know how yall watch this mess. I'm here for the laughs and comments lol
Roland I feel you for real but you gotta stop barking over your guests so much!
The guests are missing the point. Everybody is missing the point. Kamala lost the election because Trump ran a racist campaign which convinced White people to vote against their interests. The Republican party has done this in the past.
How come Roland Martin was in barking over Jamal Green when he showed up
@@clairegazzillo6775I know what it look like but I see a patten...Roland comes out the gate like a bull but learns to ease back after about 20 mins
I know right! Just ruff ruff'ing all over the place. It's so annoying
Roland, i respect your views, but don't yell at your guests and let them speak. once they are done, disagree peacefully, and give your views calmly. Respect them. I agree that Kamala did her best to give out economic policies and she had plans for the working class... but every time that she did, with specific details, people either tuned out (because they, secretly, didn't WANT to hear it) or they flat out, ignored it. and here, i am going to cut and paste a statement from a woman who posted this comment on youtube, after the election:
'I'm a 60 -yr old white woman in Ohio. I voted for Harris. I never voted for Trump. It's simply racism, and because she's a woman.'
it's really as simple as that. People who complain about the Harris campaign being flawed for overlooking the working class is ludicrous. people were just looking for an excuse not to vote for her. and if economics did have something to do with her not getting elected, it was more like she was suffering from the mistakes of previous regimes. but i don't see how Republicans are any better than them. i think both parties fail in that regard.
America was told for 3 years that their president wasn’t too old and was capable of doing his job. The debate showed that was a flat out lie. Prior to Harris running, she had very poor popularity, yet as soon as Biden stepped back, over night Harris was this incredibly popular sensation. That strategy is going to work for people who are democrats, but for the undecided voters, it’s almost offensive how much they were trying to gaslight the nation. I think results from yesterday in the swing states reflect that.She ran a dogshit campaign and the Dems thought it a good idea to run one of the single most unpopular candidates imaginable. Can't be shocked this happened at all. Kamala was never going to win over the key demos that she needed to because it's like she didn't even fucking try to.
@@redwanur i disagree with you that she ran a dogshit campaign. if that's what you believe, then fine, and i respect that, but please respect that i have the right to disagree with you. i think she did the best anyone could do for a 100-day campaign, and beyond. Part of the reason she was not popular was due to the reasons that i specified already. she was the first VP who was a woman of color. immediately, there was going to be backlash and disfavor to those who did not want to see that. no, it cannot be denied, no matter how much you prefer to believe otherwise.
I disagree that she didn't try to win over the key demos. i believe she TRIED very much.
Another part of the reason that sprung her lack of popularity was also due to the previous regime doing everything in their power to belittle the present elected officials.
Trump spent all 4 years of Biden's presidency bashing him and Kamala, instead of letting them have their time as president and VP.
that constant haranguing was bitter, awful, and had a lasting effect. He poisoned their time, out of his own disgusting need to not accept a defeat.
and if you expected her to just give up/give into that, no! you don't response to hate by crawling away. you gotta stand your ground, and keep going.
I admit that it would have been better that Biden (who did his best when he inherited a shitshow once getting into office) had stepped down sooner, but her lack of popularity stemmed from three things: racism, sexism, and defamation spread through disinformation and hate speech.
you shouldn't crawl away from bullies, like Trump. you have to at least, try and stand up to them. She did that. for that, i appreciate it. and
was she doomed from the very beginning. Yes. but i don't blame her. i blame the society that we are in, and the circumstances that tore her down. if we Americans could not see that she was the better candidate, because of, as you put it 'gaslighting', that's our failure, not hers.
third, hatred of her is your choice, but it was ill-founded. She did the role of VP, and did it precisely what was her job to do. Especially since VPs are rarely heard about during presidencies. they do not control policy, but support the current cabinet and take the President's place, if something were to happen.
her stepping in, after Biden stepped down, was the logical choice.
Was i aware that the cards were stacked against her? yes. That's what happens whenever you are the first woman/woman of color to do something. failure always occurs. but the fact that she got that many votes, despite it all... is miraculous.
And what of her actual actions, that you rail against?
In her time as the VP, what about her time that she spent overseas as an ambassador? what of actual duties that she performed that you consider terrible? please give me actual moments of her time as VP that you disliked? Like please give me particular examples.
Because, if not, it adds to another argument that a youtuber said is the main reason that people did not vote for her:
People really have no idea what the hell is going on.
They ran a campaign on fear, not substance.
Lauren you need to leave this clown alone! He’s loud and wrong!!
3:13 he wasn't beaten in the primaries the democratic party stole it from him.
Facts. They don't know what they're talking about
TRUTH
And I thought that I was the only person on planet Earth mentioning that ... THANKS. Trump accused the Democrats of stealing elections and he was right. No, they didn't steal anything from him, BUT they stole it from Bernie - that's a fact. And then, because Bernie's a team player, he didn't say a thing. Because he was on board to make sure that 🍊🤠💩 never entered the White House ever again. Well, when the Democratic party couldn't make that happen, Bernie's B-A-C-K. it's as simple as that ...
Sanders lost in South Carolina and every southern state. He was not known in the south where most primary voters resides. It is impossible to win democratic primaries without southern voters. Sanders barely won Iowa, was viable in states outside the south. All democratic candidates has to be viable in the south where the population is more diverse. He lost every southern state to President Biden mainly because of the black vote which did not know Sanders at all. No it was not stolen he lost heavily.
Then why did he lose white working class voters in the 2020 run?
look it up, his numbers with white working class dropped at the same time his support with black and brown supporters went up
hmmm... seems like a coincidence no?
Rollin Martin is a prime example of what narcissism looks like. If you continue to follow this you will always lose. Everyone isn't going to have the same opinion as you.
Roland you got to let people talk ,damnnnn
He's what's wrong with the Democratic party...they don't listen. That's why Trump is back.
She wasn't saying shyt worth hearing.
This is the "Roland S. Martin Live."
@@jamiAkos😂😂😂😂😂exactly
@@theresadodson7509rightttt his show
I agree with bernie i voted for democrats but us working class people have been abandoned and corporate greed isn't going to be taken care of anytime soon
Y'all sound stupid as hell well guess what Trump and his homies own the corporations so you think the greed is going to stop by voting for Trump hell nah!!!!! Trump has no plans for working class and he made no promises at all period!!!
Bernie just dog whistling and not speaking to the real issues; just touting his own hypocrisy.
So let’s elect republicans to control everything got it . But then if we vote every single democrat in then it’s. 1 party rule
Bernie Sanders is 💯 correct
How so? Is Trump better for the working class? What policies of the Dems abandon the working class?
@@dadama925 The border, opening it, bad for business and us poor folks. Spending our tax dollars 200 BILLION on UKRAINE(We are literally paying there PENSIONS), that money needs to be spent ON US. These are economic decisions that are disqualifying and being done at the moment by Dems. Where is the 15 dollar minimum wage they promised. Crickets.
Trump has certain appeals like the issues I mentioned, he is against them.
@@dadama925 For starters, cavorting around with Liz Chaney for the entire last month of the campaign. Plus she had very few coherent global proposals - there was no message - just a few policies put together on the fly. That's what Bernie is talking about. Not entirely KH's fault as she was thrown into the campaign with barely 100 days to go. But you sure can put the blame on Biden...
@@ericschultz6539 What a load of crap. BS got in bed with the far right and still does. His big tent included the far right. His ilk over there at TYT where Ana K supports far right and is standing up for Trump. The reason i started calling them fauxgressives is just that the phony hypocrisy when they embrace the far right and call it evolving. There are anti-trump ppl and gop who do not like the direction of the gop and Bernie nor most Dems are not the ppl to speak to them. That is is why Liz was put on the trail to get to those deep red states. Who do you think could speak to them. Oh wait, you think they should not have been talked to. Some of them are those very ppl that Lauren is talking about, they are not all wealthy. Be honest, they would not have listened to Bernie. I don't agree with the Liz move but Bernie and his divisive ways is not the way either and he know his trickle down yt boy politics and theory is not right. btw, the dems did speak to many of their interests and passed several bills. Roland is right to call that out. Many of those states/cities now know their gop candidate voted against many of those policies then took credit for it. They voted for the white gop. BS needs to listen too. He is establishment too and will not listen either. Bernie will no more work with Dems (but will take their $$) any more than Dems will work with him. It's why he should go just as much as tired dixiecrat dems.
Spot on Roland!
ROLAND how is he wrong. The results speak for themselves. The people have spoken. Democrats need to make changes. Denying that reality is ignorant.
He’s in denial
You can't help people that won't vote for you.The Democrats party need to find new voters .Stop trying to convince racist white people that will never vote for them to vote for them .
Cause and effect. Young(er) white men supported Trump by a large amount, and they somehow decided to go vote. Do you think that was because Dems abandoned the working class? Every time you lose, you have to make major changes? The last I looked, Trump lost in 2020 and did not make any changes other than becoming more extreme.
@@TheRealTruth533 The blue cult is strong Roland.
What changes? To be more left, leaning more radical.?
Bernie is correct. blah. blah. blah to you is a hell yes to many. the lady you keep yelling over is correct also.
Bernie is wrong. Did trump do anything for the working class when he was in power? Too many stupid Americans exists!
Rev. Barber’s message is very similar to Bernie’s message. But the Heads of the Dem’s party don’t want to hear it.
I am so very glad one more person talk about Rev. Barber 👏👏👏👏 that’s what I wrote about here and I will continue to do so. I am one person with no power but this is the only thing I can do 😢
@ No, it’s 2 of us now. More will join (grassroots).
That's ignorant maybe you should listen
@@simeonfuller5389 3 of us... Bernie and Rev.Barber are solid allies.
Roland's problem with Bernie is that he is a white man leading the movement. Bernie's message has been consistent for 40 years. Roland wants a black face to lead the movement even if it's a neoliberal like Kamala. He used identity politics against Bernie to make his argument.
I think it's great that none of you seem to get why Kamala Harris and Dems lost because it means you'll continue losing. All of you can't seem to grasp that millions of Americans are done with Dem policies. 😂😂😂
I hate how he cuts off his panelists all the time and they are knowledgeable too.
Agreed, it`s such a turnoff for me!
@colinsparman26 me too, I usually go to another show when he does that. Same with morning Joe, can't watch him much when he cuts off his wife or guests.
How can Roland Martin didn't cut off Jamal Green when he was screaming in his face
