      Okay, let's get it together Dems. Make a one-sheet copy of Project 2025 (as I am) and pass it out in your apartment. Start referendum petitions locally. There are things you / we can do to stop this madeness.
      Stop with the chatter about Trans rights and "defunding" the police, and other keywords. STOP IT! Get back to basics.

      @BP-1988 Час назад +3

      ​@@czgator9000 I like Newsom a lot but it's too easy to second guess what happened. I think that once Biden dropped out it was so late in the game that Newsom would have been at a bigger disadvantage than Harris. I think the thing that sunk Harris was the Republicans running the clip of her talking about transgender inmates over 30,000 time in the swing states. The Dems thought voters would get tired of it and tune it out rather than counter it.

    • @punkagrrlzero
      @punkagrrlzero 58 минут назад

      ​@czgator9000 DO not get excited about Newsome. He is 100% up the ass of corporate business. He's done some shady AF shit. At the moment. I'm waiting to see just what he and rhe other politicians are going to come up with after the special session in December. They had better be talking California secession as a valid response to Trump trying to force conservative policies on CA. The one thing most people don't know about Newsome is how 2 faced he is. He signs bills that give companies rights to gouge us all and then when we complain about it, he announces that he's going to 'try to do something about it.' That 'something ' rarely happens.

      I grew up in Yougoslavia and lived through war, ethnic cleansing and straight up genocide. One think I do now see, is that it is precisely in these moments that we come clean and see what "profiles in courage" really and profoundly means. We get to be these "profiles in courage."

      What about the rest of the State? A dumbed down populace which appears to be happy with electing anything with an "R" by its name. This place is itching to be on par with W. Virginia and Mississippi, the bottom of the ladder when it comes to child poverty, environmental issues, innovation, voting rights, etc. Great job Ohio, you must be so proud of your 'accomplishments'.

He brought funding for countless projects and untold numbers of jobs back to the state. He was a champion of the working class, regular folks and union members. The people of this state are stupid and voted for another election denying, Trump bootlicker, who only wanted the job to grift off the citizens of Ohio. Moreno is another misogynistic, lying oligarch. What a terrible loss for Ohio.

      @@paranormalafterdark1111 these last 4/5 years hasn't felt right to a lot of people I've asked when they think about it. Almost like we're on the incorrect timeline or reality.

    Go michigan! My fellow michiganders have been letting me down lately. I believed most of us supported justice. So Im glad the dems wrestled another seat from them. Kentucky, I lived their too for a few years. lotta poor people there with no jobs, and little opportunity to even get a job. At least that was my experience while there.

    As A Brit I would say that the legal system should be completely apolitical and focus on the LAW. This is the only way that our leaders can be held to account.

    Brian, I love your show I think that you are brave and you’re very smart and very solid. I love the people that you interview and how you explain things to us.
    I need a favor from you. You must have contacts with MSNBC.
    It happens when I’m watching any of the shows with Rachel or the other guys the last five minutes of the show gets cut off by Chinese lady sitting there needing or crocheting and it happens every time on everyone of the MSNBC shows
    Someone send me a message responding to my complaints about this and said that it happened to her in a different network also
    So please, if you can let them know what is happening. I don’t think it’s fair that they hack our last five minutes of the show the summary and conclusion it’s important.
    Anyway, thank you!!!
