I lived in Menlo Park, CA for 7 years. My wife liked going into the city. I stopped going with her because I do not like the smell of human excrement. I do not like that criminals can steal with impunity. Rent control is a bad idea. Building owners should get to set the rates for their property.
I am so glad to hear this guy. As a 72 yo native Californian, I have always been blown away by people who refer to California as some kind of liberal bastion, especially politically.
No, we are not all moving to the right. The reason why Trump won is because he has so many people on the right but unfortunately for the rest of us we had no representation. That's why we didn't show up in numbers because our Democratic party does not represent us. If anything, there's a larger and larger group of people going further to the left because the left is instilled in us at birth. With compassion and wanting quality, we want to earn living wages. So to say that people are going more right shows that you are completely disconnected with what is really happening here
It's all talk. He's able to express their frustration and they hear that as Oh he's going to help me. Still waiting for that fantastic Healthcare plan he promised us way back in 2015.😒
Trump didn't get more popular, 74M voted for him in 2020. Accordantly to AP numbers, in 2024 he is at 70M. Meanwhile, 81M voted for Biden in 2020 & 66M for Harris. Trump didn't win because he suddenly got more popular. The Democrat voter base just collapsed by roughly 18%. The USA has vast majority of Democrats, is just didn't showed to the posts as expected.
I haven't heard about the voter suppression effects yet. I agree with what you said. I'd like to find out where the lines were the longest, how many polling places were shut down etc. Facebook has suppressed all political discussions since the Bernie movement in 2016. I used to be able to get those details. Not any more.

Discussing what if, could've, should've, is not going to help us now! We may not see another federal election anytime in the near future. Donald Trump is not going to leave office again, unless he has a debilitating illness or dies. What they need to be discussing is what they're going to do when D.Trump makes those anticipated devastating changes to our gov. and the economy!
Late to the party? The *only* politician that has spent decades actually trying to help the American people? No wonder we can't fix our broken political system- imagine the critical thinking skills required to blame Bernie for the DNC 's corruption and incompetence.
The whole gaza situation probably really messed it up for the democrats this time around. There was no way to win over both sides of that issue, so there was no way the democrats could've won. Most people only vote when there's a widespread cultural movement that encourages them to do so, like the BLM movement. This time there was the gaza thing, and a lot of the pro palestine people didn't vote at all. And otherwise, when there's no cultural movement that grabs the attention, most people are just blissfully oblivious of the goings on in the world at large, and, very wisely, just focus on their own little lives in this world of insane chaos. This guy Kelley seems to think that every trump supporter is a supporter because of every single thing that Trump stands for, but that's not the case in reality. I think usually they just get pulled in because of one issue that they really care about (this case probably economy or immigration) and then just gradually adopt all the other stances they initially didn't really have an opinion on, as is evident when they are interviewed about these issues and they obviously have no knowledge about any of them whatsoever. They just adopted the stances because of groupthink, a very human thing to do. Pundits are really missing them mark on this, making all sorts of wild assumptions about the Trump voter, when in the end most of them are just normal people with normal issues.
The low information cultivated by Trump are easily bamboozled, and they were. The Democrats, however, did a poor job of appealing to the working class. All the language was "the middle class". The middle class is doing pretty well.
didn’t vote for president, the two party system is an obsolete joke. did vote yes on multiple levies, public schools and libraries, and for the metro parks.
Stfu he was trying to avoid letting a fascist into office.. the Biden admin at least did some good things for labour. Too many dumb people don’t understand

A majority of the American people just voted for regime change - not just leadership change. They will begin to learn what they have done in a few short months - but, I will be watching the spectacle unfold from a safe distance. You see, I didn't vote for the fascist madness - so, I should not have to experience the consequences of doing so.
@@Curt-Gevert No, I lost because most Americans are fascists and hate democracy, civil rights, and the rule of law. And, that is not my fault and I won't be around to watch the consequences of their choice. I will be watching from a safe distance with popcorn in hand.
Relying on a party is our mistake, not theirs. What we do in between elections is what drives change. Waiting for an election cycle to start speaking up is too late. And it all means nothing if we don't vote, which is the only real reason things went this way - millions of people just didn't vote (relative to 2020). The reason the (R)s can go off the rails and keep winning is that their voters show up regardless. if you can't figure out why the (D) party keeps positioning to pick up stray (R) voters, and not moving harder left, here's why: They want people who can be counted on to vote. If we want something to rely on, maybe we could start by being a reliable voting bloc instead of copping out when the candidate doesn't feel sufficiently inspiring and then blaming the party for not being good enough, all the while losing to a person who's barely forming coherent sentences these days.

yes Prof. Kelley. But the pool of voting age people in the US is near 265 million and only close to 140 million voted. So the right wing Republicans and Trump got not even 30% of the voting population. we need to think about that. and let's figure out what's going on in the Republic of Georgia with Russian interference with their election. Possible there was some Russian interference here also?
excellent interview . Insightful & eye opening . Its going to be and interesting Four years under Trump again . I will be watching by the grace of God to see if America & the World Democracy will hold.
It’s already gone. We don’t have a democracy in the US. We have an electoral college. And now an overt billionaire oligarchy. And Americans don’t care for each other. People have been turned against one another. It’s all by design. The billionaires have won.
Tell me something I don’t know… ALL that talk was useless. Looks like suppressing the third party made a big difference, huh? And Bernie… you are usually quiet when you need to be loud. Did you hear the people, DNC? Because WE ARE SPEAKING.
all these Palestinian single issue voters are going to be awfully salty when israel annex gaza and trump lets them. But hey your protest vote really helped right.
A different class should have different values. If everybody is after the American dream (gas, groceries, etc.), then you only have winners and losers, not different classes.
The problem within US culture is that despite moments of solidarity due to a one-off crisis. Individualism, hence, limited power and influence, continues to prevail because it's been intentionally, and cunningly, propagated as some sought of virtue. This, and the fact that government and business have historically undermined and demonized trade unions and any other form of collective bargaining, as left working people isolated, powerless and desperate. Ironic when you consider that government and business operate hand in glove and that big business in particular is Unionized. A little research in other parts of the world will show that things like, national health care, award and living wages, safe working conditions, secure tenure of employment, aged pensions, have their genesis through collective labor - UNIONS - not governments and businesses.
at 8:15 . . . "The absence of cohesion" in the working class is confusing to me. As Latinos, African Americans, Whites, etc all seemed to hold to Trump's policies. That seems like cohesion to me, and hopefully that cohesion will bring a solidarity to the working class and help to eliminate racisms.
This is like a Star Trek episode where you have the Roman empire in a modern society where slaves had social security benefits. We're going in a direction where future prisoners make up a slave workforce with social security benefits for when they get old.😮
Not bad analysis. But he can lose the rhetoric about " toxic masculinity" and "Transphobia." Those canards are the kind of alienating language that lost my vote for Dem party and vote third party.
Toxic masculinity is a term used to describe a set of harmful behaviors and attitudes that are often associated with masculinity. These behaviors can have a negative impact on men, women, and society as a whole. Some examples of toxic masculinity include: Emotional repression: Men are expected to hide their emotions and not show weakness Anti-femininity: Men reject anything feminine, such as asking for help or accepting domesticity Power: Men are only worthy if they have money, power, status, and influence Violence: Men are expected to be strong and aggressive The term originated in the 1980s within the men's movement. The term is not meant to imply that masculinity itself is bad, but rather to point out that certain behaviors and ways of thinking associated with masculinity can be harmful.
@ Just as there is toxic masculinity there is also toxic femininity. Just as there is misogyny there is misandry. Both need analysis and description and are hurtful to humanity.
Reading this comment section i want to share my thoughts. There's no such thing as latino intrest, white intrest or black intrest. There are diffrent intrest based on wealth and class in the old marxist sence. The majority of people living in an houshold with an income under 100k a year voted Trump, over 100k the majority voted Harris. The Billionaire Class is divided. They gain wealth under both candidates. They decide to back a candidate based on who they agree more with in philosophical or religous terms. The Media make money by preaching to the choir and not by telling the truth. That goes for CNN, Tucker and also Amy. Capitalism is the systhem that has improved the poor's live more then any other in human history. Communism has ended in dictatorship evry single time it was tried. Its not even better at protecting the enviroment and fight climatechange. Look at the DDR, UDSSR or nowdays China. In a Capitalistic society there needs to be social policies to guarantee redistribution from Rich to Poor to preserve the poors dignity. A 2 party System is trash. 60% of americans believe that the US support Israel just about right or not enough according to exit polling...
30s Germany, Indonesia, contemporary Russia. All have suffered worse under capitalism than they would have under their own Mao. Just check life expectancy during the Soviet Union vs contemporary Russia, capitalism has failed Russia.
To the writer Meg: Don't be quick to assume that voters for Harris "overlooked" genocide. With my deepest empathy for Palestinians they're not the only ones in a mortal struggle for freedom i.e. Congo, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Yemen, Iran and I think still Syria. First & foremost it makes sense that EVERY country considers domestic policies before foreign in a national election. That's just the truth. People complaining about the price of food is a serious issue. Of course not on the same level as conflicts or genocide but people can usually only deal with what's before them, not thousands of miles away or doesn't directly impact their family. Plus she's overlooking the fact, there are Americans who've stated that they don't care about something occuring thousands of miles away whereas some Americans are vocal about tax money being spent for war. Her statement just proves part of why we're in this situation. I made the sacrifice & voted for the non-dictator type, but I know my country so this outcome isn't a surprise.
Let's see if the forgotten history of the Republic of America 🇺🇲 and Morocco 🇲🇦 will honor 1777. Let's see if Liberia 🇱🇷 will remember the American Colonies there. I've found Maryland, Kentucky, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Louisiana and one planned for New Jersey. I've also seen recent articles on abortion used in military in Nigeria. It looks like it has been going on since 2013.

What do you mean by "fascism"? I just don't see that happening. Americans democratically elected Trump by a wide margin because we like his policies, and do not like the Dems and their warmongering.
@ Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[1][2][3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[2][3] Fascism can start by being democratically elected but that doesn’t mean that’s not what is coming. You asked for this so be happy with the results.
Also, what warmongering? The wars going on are being done by Putin, a far-right extremist murdering dictator trying to capture a democratic country, and Netanyahu, a right-wing zealot who has wanted to eliminate Palestine for years.

5:20 Anytime someone says "Fascism" for one side and not the other, I tune them out. No ownership for the behavior of the other side despite their attempts to control who their constituents choose as a party leader, control of media, attempts to control free speech, attempts to suppress independent competitors & attempts to stop their opponent from running via the legal system (granted he did things related to Jan 6 that may warrant some action, but they waited until he launched his campaign to move forward with charges).

Voting is dumb.
The whole idea is ridiculous.
I lived in Menlo Park, CA for 7 years. My wife liked going into the city. I stopped going with her because I do not like the smell of human excrement. I do not like that criminals can steal with impunity. Rent control is a bad idea. Building owners should get to set the rates for their property.
I am so glad to hear this guy. As a 72 yo native Californian, I have always been blown away by people who refer to California as some kind of liberal bastion, especially politically.
I lived in CA for 7 years. Almost all coastal cities are leftists. The rural counties still possess some sense of sanity.
Okay we can't rely on the democratic party. What are our options?
GO TRUMP....STUPID..🇺🇸.
Seriously? Force third parties or ranked choice voting.
Be brave enough to vote third party and don't listen to the talking heads on the internet that shame people for doing so.
Listen to alternative media to learn about independent candidates. Major media is corporate owned, biased and lacks what you really need to know.
Duopoly is over. Dems are done
No, we are not all moving to the right. The reason why Trump won is because he has so many people on the right but unfortunately for the rest of us we had no representation. That's why we didn't show up in numbers because our Democratic party does not represent us. If anything, there's a larger and larger group of people going further to the left because the left is instilled in us at birth. With compassion and wanting quality, we want to earn living wages. So to say that people are going more right shows that you are completely disconnected with what is really happening here
The Dems offer nothing to working class people, the Republicans offer comforting lies. People want to live comfortably more than anything.
Lucid analysis. Thank you for having both of these guest on the show!
" The Democrats gotta stop disrespecting Foundational Black Americans!"
Are y'all being paid for this or what? 😂😂😂
Both parties are just in it for their pockets we need something else
Whether it is Democratic or Republic both parties are AIPAC-powered...😅
The far left remind me of Hamas, jealous, full of rage and hate - no room for peace with that motley crew😢😢😢
Great you must be delighted to have trump now - you hope you get a share in everything he brings
I say “identity politics “! We shall see if Trump does anything for the “working class “.
I’m not even going to try holding my breath on that one.
It's all talk. He's able to express their frustration and they hear that as Oh he's going to help me. Still waiting for that fantastic Healthcare plan he promised us way back in 2015.😒
@@joanturri5500 his concepts of a plan might become a plan now that he's going to be president 🙃
The Democratic Party needs a major overhaul.
Trump didn't get more popular, 74M voted for him in 2020. Accordantly to AP numbers, in 2024 he is at 70M. Meanwhile, 81M voted for Biden in 2020 & 66M for Harris. Trump didn't win because he suddenly got more popular. The Democrat voter base just collapsed by roughly 18%. The USA has vast majority of Democrats, is just didn't showed to the posts as expected.
I haven't heard about the voter suppression effects yet. I agree with what you said. I'd like to find out where the lines were the longest, how many polling places were shut down etc. Facebook has suppressed all political discussions since the Bernie movement in 2016. I used to be able to get those details. Not any more.
It looks like about 2 million voted 3rd party but still a lot of people who either didn't show up or their votes were tossed/supressed
@@joanturri5500 girly, it’s telling that you’re assuming it’s voter suppression and not that the voters have grown apathetic to neoliberal Dems running on maintaining the status quo.
Yes if genocide is no red line for you if you can vote for Harris, why would anything Trump did or say be a red line for his supporters.
It’s been said again and again. Americans don’t care about what happens overseas . Trying to pin this on Gaza is dumb.
Are we talking about the working class or the white working class? Because last time I check, Trump populism didn't resonate with the Black working class. And sadly, the working class will be disappointed because Trump isn't going to fix their problems.
They will find some way to blame the Democrats, even as the GOP ends the Constitution right in front of their faces.
It resonated with 72,983,574 people for the popular vote.
@@Curt-Gevert Yes, which is why I'm leaving. I do not want to live among people who would choose fascism over democracy.
It resonates with ALL WORKING CLASS AMERICANS AND I AM A BLK WOMAN WHO IS ONE OF THEM

IS WHAT COST YALL THE WORKING CLASS STOP PLAYING THE RACE GAME AND GROW UP
@@richardowens9061 You're lying about fascism, that is why you lost. Calling your neighbors fascists is no way to win their hearts and minds.
Jill Stein exposed the Dems but people didn't care. Now people are angry, afraid, and pointing the finger at each other like the Spiderman meme.
NO ONE WILL TELL ME WHERE HAS OUR VICE PRESIDENT BEEN FOR THE 1st 3 YEARS of THEIR TERM
No one knows lol, it doesn't matter either.
Discussing what if, could've, should've, is not going to help us now! We may not see another federal election anytime in the near future. Donald Trump is not going to leave office again, unless he has a debilitating illness or dies. What they need to be discussing is what they're going to do when D.Trump makes those anticipated devastating changes to our gov. and the economy!
Not happy about Trump but it’s great that this pillhead didn’t win
Bernie, a little late to the party. Now trying to save his constituents
Late to the party? The *only* politician that has spent decades actually trying to help the American people?
No wonder we can't fix our broken political system- imagine the critical thinking skills required to blame Bernie for the DNC 's corruption and incompetence.
The whole gaza situation probably really messed it up for the democrats this time around. There was no way to win over both sides of that issue, so there was no way the democrats could've won. Most people only vote when there's a widespread cultural movement that encourages them to do so, like the BLM movement. This time there was the gaza thing, and a lot of the pro palestine people didn't vote at all. And otherwise, when there's no cultural movement that grabs the attention, most people are just blissfully oblivious of the goings on in the world at large, and, very wisely, just focus on their own little lives in this world of insane chaos.
This guy Kelley seems to think that every trump supporter is a supporter because of every single thing that Trump stands for, but that's not the case in reality. I think usually they just get pulled in because of one issue that they really care about (this case probably economy or immigration) and then just gradually adopt all the other stances they initially didn't really have an opinion on, as is evident when they are interviewed about these issues and they obviously have no knowledge about any of them whatsoever. They just adopted the stances because of groupthink, a very human thing to do. Pundits are really missing them mark on this, making all sorts of wild assumptions about the Trump voter, when in the end most of them are just normal people with normal issues.
The low information cultivated by Trump are easily bamboozled, and they were. The Democrats, however, did a poor job of appealing to the working class. All the language was "the middle class". The middle class is doing pretty well.
Gaza had little to do with it, other than we are sick of paying for all these dumb wars.
many if not most hold deep negative views of people of color and will always vote against the rise of people of color in the political arena.
@@YiaMdj yep! This right here. Thank you for your clear-sightedness.
They kept talking about the middle class during the campaign, but not the working class. They do this a lot. They kept talking about GenZ.
didn’t vote for president, the two party system is an obsolete joke. did vote yes on multiple levies, public schools and libraries, and for the metro parks.
Sanders calls out HIMSELF how cute. 😼
Stfu he was trying to avoid letting a fascist into office.. the Biden admin at least did some good things for labour. Too many dumb people don’t understand
Democratic establishment will never give up the fight because they never solve any problems.
Build class consciousness NOW!
This is BS
Thank you. Sad and true
100% part of the country problem...this persons thinking
There isn’t such a thing as toxic masculinity. It’s just masculinity. There is nothing wrong with a patriarchy. Show me a single extant successful society that is a matriarchal. There never will be one.
She was my first choice until so arrogantly refused to have the Palestine representative talk and she refused to even meet with Muslim representatives and Tump took the opportunity to meet with them and make promises so they went with him obviously
worse, see those she chose to have instead
That moment from the convention was a turning point for me, too.
Same.
Agreed. Such ineptitude.
@ that was not smart of them and they continued to disrespect Arabs and Muslims so really they earned their loss They have no one to blame but themselves
All the Jill Stein and PSL supporters were correct all along lmao
BERNIE WHERE WAS YOUR VOICE BEFORE WHY WERE YOU QUIET ? NAME NAMES AND SPEAK YOUR TRUTH TIRED OF THE EXCUSES THE DNC IS ALWAYS GIVING
But the working class will be worse off with Trump, even though Democrats have abandoned them.
Another reason why so many of us don't vote.
Thank you
A majority of the American people just voted for regime change - not just leadership change. They will begin to learn what they have done in a few short months - but, I will be watching the spectacle unfold from a safe distance. You see, I didn't vote for the fascist madness - so, I should not have to experience the consequences of doing so.
This happened in his first term, but this time it will be worse. The collective amnesia is astonishing.
Calling this 'fascist madness' is why you lost.
@@Curt-Gevert No, I lost because most Americans are fascists and hate democracy, civil rights, and the rule of law. And, that is not my fault and I won't be around to watch the consequences of their choice. I will be watching from a safe distance with popcorn in hand.
@@Curt-Gevert I was not running for office. I merely voted against fascism - we ALL lost.
America voted the fascist out.
Wasn't that the same Bernie Sanders that was urging voters to vote for Vice president Harris?
Lesser of two evils. That’s a lazy whataboutism argument you just brought up.
Correct.
He's a hypocrite and a total phony.
@@ObiamajoyisrmdLesser of two evils is still evil.
this guy is 100% correct on all points
Relying on a party is our mistake, not theirs. What we do in between elections is what drives change. Waiting for an election cycle to start speaking up is too late. And it all means nothing if we don't vote, which is the only real reason things went this way - millions of people just didn't vote (relative to 2020).
The reason the (R)s can go off the rails and keep winning is that their voters show up regardless. if you can't figure out why the (D) party keeps positioning to pick up stray (R) voters, and not moving harder left, here's why: They want people who can be counted on to vote.
If we want something to rely on, maybe we could start by being a reliable voting bloc instead of copping out when the candidate doesn't feel sufficiently inspiring and then blaming the party for not being good enough, all the while losing to a person who's barely forming coherent sentences these days.
In this country women can vote for control over their own bodies while voting for politicians that voted to take it away from them. And they did

Abortion right is really more than just that.

This is the time for the blame game , Now
13:42 OMG blasphemy
yes Prof. Kelley. But the pool of voting age people in the US is near 265 million and only close to 140 million voted. So the right wing Republicans and Trump got not even 30% of the voting population. we need to think about that. and let's figure out what's going on in the Republic of Georgia with Russian interference with their election. Possible there was some Russian interference here also?
excellent interview . Insightful & eye opening . Its going to be and interesting Four years under Trump again . I will be watching by the grace of God to see if America & the World Democracy will hold.
It’s already gone. We don’t have a democracy in the US. We have an electoral college. And now an overt billionaire oligarchy. And Americans don’t care for each other. People have been turned against one another. It’s all by design. The billionaires have won.
Those who were consumed with hate' were consumed by the hate that Consumed them.
I told them it would happen and here we are" it did.
Tell me something I don’t know… ALL that talk was useless. Looks like suppressing the third party made a big difference, huh? And Bernie… you are usually quiet when you need to be loud. Did you hear the people, DNC? Because WE ARE SPEAKING.
Bernie is a fraud. I found that out in 2016.
We didn’t get snookered after all😮😮😮❤❤❤GOD is great ❤❤❤
US no more
Good.
Bernie is there problem
Welp, people will find out what they voted for. Def don’t want to hear them complain about things as they chose this path
all these Palestinian single issue voters are going to be awfully salty when israel annex gaza and trump lets them. But hey your protest vote really helped right.
A different class should have different values. If everybody is after the American dream (gas, groceries, etc.), then you only have winners and losers, not different classes.
K Harris is done. Go home !
Things have to get worse before they get better. Or the Hegelian dialectic spins its web.
13:49 THE POINT!!! It's a big grift! It makes no difference to them whether they win or lose. It's about the money.
The problem within US culture is that despite moments of solidarity due to a one-off crisis. Individualism, hence, limited power and influence, continues to prevail because it's been intentionally, and cunningly, propagated as some sought of virtue.
This, and the fact that government and business have historically undermined and demonized trade unions and any other form of collective bargaining, as left working people isolated, powerless and desperate.
Ironic when you consider that government and business operate hand in glove and that big business in particular is Unionized.
A little research in other parts of the world will show that things like, national health care, award and living wages, safe working conditions, secure tenure of employment, aged pensions, have their genesis through collective labor - UNIONS - not governments and businesses.
at 8:15 . . . "The absence of cohesion" in the working class is confusing to me. As Latinos, African Americans, Whites, etc all seemed to hold to Trump's policies. That seems like cohesion to me, and hopefully that cohesion will bring a solidarity to the working class and help to eliminate racisms.
This is like a Star Trek episode where you have the Roman empire in a modern society where slaves had social security benefits. We're going in a direction where future prisoners make up a slave workforce with social security benefits for when they get old.😮
Not bad analysis. But he can lose the rhetoric about " toxic masculinity" and "Transphobia." Those canards are the kind of alienating language that lost my vote for Dem party and vote third party.
Toxic masculinity is a term used to describe a set of harmful behaviors and attitudes that are often associated with masculinity. These behaviors can have a negative impact on men, women, and society as a whole.
Some examples of toxic masculinity include:
Emotional repression: Men are expected to hide their emotions and not show weakness
Anti-femininity: Men reject anything feminine, such as asking for help or accepting domesticity
Power: Men are only worthy if they have money, power, status, and influence
Violence: Men are expected to be strong and aggressive
The term originated in the 1980s within the men's movement. The term is not meant to imply that masculinity itself is bad, but rather to point out that certain behaviors and ways of thinking associated with masculinity can be harmful.
@
Just as there is toxic masculinity there is also toxic femininity. Just as there is misogyny there is misandry. Both need analysis and description and are hurtful to humanity.
Bernie is right on
Reading this comment section i want to share my thoughts. There's no such thing as latino intrest, white intrest or black intrest.
There are diffrent intrest based on wealth and class in the old marxist sence. The majority of people living in an houshold with an income under 100k a year voted Trump, over 100k the majority voted Harris. The Billionaire Class is divided. They gain wealth under both candidates. They decide to back a candidate based on who they agree more with in philosophical or religous terms.
The Media make money by preaching to the choir and not by telling the truth. That goes for CNN, Tucker and also Amy.
Capitalism is the systhem that has improved the poor's live more then any other in human history. Communism has ended in dictatorship evry single time it was tried. Its not even better at protecting the enviroment and fight climatechange. Look at the DDR, UDSSR or nowdays China. In a Capitalistic society there needs to be social policies to guarantee redistribution from Rich to Poor to preserve the poors dignity.
A 2 party System is trash.
60% of americans believe that the US support Israel just about right or not enough according to exit polling...
Lets start a debate! I want to be proven wrong by smart and educated leftists and no namecalling plz:)
30s Germany, Indonesia, contemporary Russia. All have suffered worse under capitalism than they would have under their own Mao. Just check life expectancy during the Soviet Union vs contemporary Russia, capitalism has failed Russia.
To the writer Meg: Don't be quick to assume that voters for Harris "overlooked" genocide. With my deepest empathy for Palestinians they're not the only ones in a mortal struggle for freedom i.e. Congo, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Yemen, Iran and I think still Syria. First & foremost it makes sense that EVERY country considers domestic policies before foreign in a national election. That's just the truth. People complaining about the price of food is a serious issue. Of course not on the same level as conflicts or genocide but people can usually only deal with what's before them, not thousands of miles away or doesn't directly impact their family.
Plus she's overlooking the fact, there are Americans who've stated that they don't care about something occuring thousands of miles away whereas some Americans are vocal about tax money being spent for war. Her statement just proves part of why we're in this situation.
I made the sacrifice & voted for the non-dictator type, but I know my country so this outcome isn't a surprise.
Let's see if the forgotten history of the Republic of America 🇺🇲 and Morocco 🇲🇦 will honor 1777.
Let's see if Liberia 🇱🇷 will remember the American Colonies there.

Amir Odom - Why Trump becoming President changes everything
Is it possible that it could be just a system mistake?Party primaries serve the purpose of vetting candidates. If you skip that step the result seems like it could be a flawed candidate. Seems like it would be to the benefit of the party to have them.
If kamala were a patriot she would have turned down the nomination and demanded a primary.
Yeah maybe don’t cancel primaries and put up and old man that’s hated
It seems the democrats are abandoning the primaries and doing just elites selecting their candidates. It portends for more losses in the future.
It 100% was a flawed candidate who did not go through a primary system
The elites select the candidate. Not the party members
This is just as lost as the democratic interprettion.. doggma

I’m so sorry to the few of us Americans who actually don’t love fascism. Our country is filled with ignorant people and I’m so sorry.
What do you mean by "fascism"?
I just don't see that happening.
Americans democratically elected Trump by a wide margin because we like his policies, and do not like the Dems and their warmongering.
@ Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/ FASH-iz-əm) is a far-right, authoritarian, and ultranationalist political ideology and movement,[1][2][3] characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, belief in a natural social hierarchy, subordination of individual interests for the perceived good of the nation or race, and strong regimentation of society and the economy.[2][3] Fascism can start by being democratically elected but that doesn’t mean that’s not what is coming. You asked for this so be happy with the results.
Also, what warmongering? The wars going on are being done by Putin, a far-right extremist murdering dictator trying to capture a democratic country, and Netanyahu, a right-wing zealot who has wanted to eliminate Palestine for years.
Ex Bernie boy here. Voted for Trump.
Same here, sort of.
I don't believe in voting, altho i did vote for that creep Bernie 8 years ago.
Mistake.
Thank you dear Lord, you saved America through Trump and his team. I am so grateful and I know your Spirit of goodness will flow through Canada, Israel and the other nations. The spirit of darkness is decreasing and your glorious light is increasing ... Hallelujah ❣️
5:20 Anytime someone says "Fascism" for one side and not the other, I tune them out. No ownership for the behavior of the other side despite their attempts to control who their constituents choose as a party leader, control of media, attempts to control free speech, attempts to suppress independent competitors & attempts to stop their opponent from running via the legal system (granted he did things related to Jan 6 that may warrant some action, but they waited until he launched his campaign to move forward with charges). Never mind that they lost the House And Senate.
I don't believe in one single party running our country but if they keep talking like this, we are going to be here for a long time. Let's just watch Team 1 and 2 destroy Each other and start preparing for how we regular folk move forward after the dust settles.
There is no functional equivalent. The Dems support oligarchy and kleptocracy, but there is nothing facist in their platform or policies.
