It's not grocerys that cost money, it's housing cost. Read across the internet. Housing prices have gone up as much as 300%; insurance is high; utilities are high. Property taxes. Only a FEW grocery items are higher, but the majority of groceries are within reasonable cost. HOUSING is NOT in reasonable cost. In Chicago a studio cost $1200; a 1 bdrm cost $2100; it's ridiculous! You have to live with a roommate to make rent. In CHI, they just increased property taxes almost 1000%. Everybody is upset.
@@Chicago48 you’re right, and the Democratic Party still completely ignored how much all of this is impacting people, and pretending like everything is just fine by saying bullshit like ‘the economy is great”, or “job numbers are up.” And yes, grocery bills have been really hurting many people that I know who are trying to feed their kids .
I thought that making this Harris campaign a single issue [Abortion rights] campaign was a wonderful idea till it hit me that women frequent the grocery store more than they visit abortion clinics.
Also, the trans issue (in this case, inclusion of trans women in female-only spaces) allowed the Republicans to portray themselves as protecting women's rights.
@@init100 To be fair to the REpublicans, they have been at the forefront of fighting against this craziness of letting men/boys who decide they are trans-women to go and participate in womens sports includign contact sports like boxing and wrestling. ONce, years ago, 10 state governors issued strong statement against this and worked to forbid such events in their states. How many do you think were Democratic party governors? ZERO. This was before women starting suffering broken skulls in boxing. Even today why is it that Democratic party folks are so reluctant to speak against this. Years ago, just when this craziness was beginning, 3 smart high school guys, decided to play the system. They wanted sports based scholarships/admission to prestigious universities. So they went the trans-women route, and declared they feel like they are women. All three who were average in boys sports, now did excellent as girls. Three of them got into the topmost universities [universities being almost all super liberal, were excited to have trans students in their roll]. This was almost a decade ago, or earlier. I always admire these three dudes, who took full advantage of the foolishness of the liberal mindset and rode their way to their dreams. Full paid scholarishps to the best universities of their dreams.
The rest of the world is also dealing with this 20% + increase in basic needs. Unfortunately people are not impressed with how things are since the COVID supply excuse has not been addressed. It is not the government so much as the greedy supplier and company stockholders.
I really felt it was 1)cost of living increase (remember when the liberal media types made fun of the simpletons complaining about eggs? They arent laughing now. And2) the perception (true or not) that the dems were superwoke. Trying to put men in female vball games , nonsense pronouns, etc. Those 2 things killed them.
Yup, CNN promoted the far left woke trans agenda, that mainstream America thinks is idiotic. Nobody at CNN defended JK Rowling or Riley Gaines. Riley had to go to Fox News. CNN needs to fire everybody and re-brand as objective news or get out of the game.
MSNBC down 57% and CNN is down 48%. These joke of news organizations are circling the toilet bowl into oblivion. And they deserve every bit of it for gaslighting and lying to the American people.
Only Fareed went up to this level to explain. All are scared to tell the truth. David Axelrod mentioned that night, that liberals go to common people to say we will help you to become like us!!! Next day of course, he did damage control by bringing in identity politics.
I think their mocking of Vance contributed as well. Calling a young man who worked his way up from the white poor of the rust belt, served his country in the Iraq War to attend Yale Law and marry a daughter of Indian immigrants with a beautiful family, and elected US Senator from Ohio "weird", is completely out of touch and demonstrated the bullies they really are.
Didn't help that one of the guy's doing it claimed to have been at Tiananmen Square during the riots (a complete lie). Claimed to have "deployed" but never went further than Italy. Claims to be a football coach but talked about "running a pick 6" which makes less than zero sense, not to mention that disastrous debate performance. Walz was the weirdest dude we've seen in politics in a world that includes people like John Fetterman, just saying.
@@gummiewormproduction Selling Hate and twisting the truth about Trump. No news media should be taken sides, it's Un-American and it keeps division, just watch or read anything.
"The American economy is better than all these other nations." Tell that to a single mother who's working 2 jobs to afford groceries that now cost 20 percent more than they did under Trump. Not to mention gasoline, which was $2.39 a gallon when Biden took office. Just because inflation has dropped doesn't mean prices go back to where they were -- they just continue to increase in price more slowly.
Such nonsense, when Trump is pitted against a woman in these presidential elections, he kicks their butts, and with a significant number of votes from women.

It doesn't even seem to matter that the women are vastly more intelligent, capable and more accomplished. Apparently, women are just not ready to see a women President, they would much rather have a MAN, apparently any MAN, in that leadership role. And it may take generations for this curious (and baffling) mind set to change.
@@jimmyjam5453 Do you seriously think that the only reason voters had these three things as their top concerns is because of Fox News?! No wonder you lost the election. Jesus...
that would have lost her votes. this was an issue in 2020 and Biden won the pop vote by 7M. Harris lost by 3M. You don't swing 10M people on the border or "scary trans people" - it's the economy. the global fallout from the worldwide mismanagement of the pandemic that's doubled the cost of living across the board in most countries. this election is happening everywhere - the US is just the latest.
not exactly a dream... an important thing, but certainly not something to look forward to. They read books who said as long as youre better than the other side and the other side is horrible its fine. But they dont think with their hearts
Don't forget about "protecting Democracy"! It really means a lot, coming from the party that has only let their voters pick 1 out of the last 3 presidential candidates.
@@doomguy4945 Right? Remember when Bernie was neck and neck with Joe Biden but they pushed Bernie out instead of brining it to a vote at the DNC? Biden did win, but it definitely wasn't democratic since half the voters wanted Bernie. Then they skipped all of that entirely with Kamala.
They werent reporting the news they were trying to influence the election. Its hard to say but some people in the party knew this was gunna be like this. They had here winning Iowa and it was a 17 point difference. Thats not political analysis that is propaganda

I don't think so. Nancy pelosi is denying that they abandoned the working class. I'm a delivery driver btw. I don't think these people are that stupid, The polling was very clear. Her brother-in-law. Who's like on the board for Uber? Told her to abandon her policy about price gouging, which was polling it almost ninety percent. I think the donors wanted to Trump because he is about to gut all sorts of regulations, campaign finance, epa, fda, etc. The Supreme Court's legalized bribery. And he's gonna gut the government out and sell it off for parts. And you can legally use american troops on american citizens and at most pardon of the soldiers after the fact if we protest.

The Fake News omits 2 things here : I. When inflation is down, it doesn't mean it's gone neither that it's previous effects are mitigated II. The economic figures are "re-defined" if not to say doctored/fiddled,....Their conduct to indoctronate us with this poison has a risk: that they fell victim to it themselves and they believe their own propaganda.
So, with Trump back in office, I’m feeling a bit uneasy. It feels like the economy could get more unpredictable, and I keep hearing Bitcoin might be a good hedge against that. But is it actually worth the risk?
That’s a fair question. Trump’s policies usually push for lower taxes and fewer regulations, which can be good for markets but also add volatility. Bitcoin’s appeal has definitely grown as an alternative asset during times like this, but it’s far from a guaranteed safe bet.
I totally understand. When things got shaky in the last election cycle, working with Deanna Renee Larue helped me manage the uncertainty. She guided me to invest a little in Bitcoin while keeping most of my portfolio stable, and that balance made a big difference.
Exactly. It’s all about balancing the risk.Deanna Renee Larue Cressotti would probably recommend a diversified approach, including Bitcoin as a small part of your portfolio along with other assets. That way, even if Trump’s policies shake things up or Bitcoin swings wildly, you’re not overly exposed.
I’m still a bit skeptical, to be honest. Trump’s pro-business stance might create short-term gains in the market, but what about Bitcoin’s long-term potential? It seems like it’s driven by speculation more than anything else.
Good point. That’s why selective investing is key. Deanna Renee Larue Cressotti often suggests investing in Bitcoin carefully and balancing it with safer assets, like bonds or consumer staples. If Bitcoin grows, you benefit, but if it drops, your other investments keep you steady.
Causing the immigration collapse on purpose got Trump elected. He ordered Republicans to vote against the immigration bill. Trump said he did it so he could run on the issue.
I can see I’m dealing with someone not the sharpest tool in the shed. Because I noticed a certain someone didn’t mention Fox accountability regarding Trump himself. Or even other places more right wing than fox. This is exactly why this country is crumbling. We have the anti-American left that believes the wrong pronouns are violence. And we have the lunatic right that believes anything that doesn’t go their way is some plot against them, and there is a shadowy ninja controlled by a shadow government behind every tree. I can go on, but it’s kind of like trying to reason with someone who is several years away from getting a drivers license that they don’t really know more than their parents and teachers and everybody else in life, just because they think they’re grown doesn’t mean they actually are. Does it mean the grown-ups can’t be wrong sometimes in the young ones right, but you gotta look at statistics. But I know that’s hard, thinking is hard. 😂
That's ok, you'll find out exactly how accountable Trump is to middle class and lower income MAGA over the next year. I'm going to laugh hard as my stocks soar from the coming tax cuts and the prices of goods go higher for people like you from his coming tariffs. You are about to be held ACCOUNTABLE yourself for your own willful ignorance. It's coming. LOL 🙂
@ we will and its gonna be a hell of a lot better then O bozo and btw. why didnt CNN criticize OBozo for dropping the ballnon inflation and the open border. hhmmmmmm
Registered democrat that after the pandemic, I realized I could not vote democrat for the foreseeable future. My wife and I both voted Trump. Fareed, you NAILED IT!
Claiming that the US economy is doing better than other Western economies, even if true, clouds the fact that the average quality of life in the US has been significantly lower than that of other Western countries. People vote based on their daily experiences, not on mere statistics.
I was going to say that each person completely missed the point about inflation. They are practically dismissive of it like it has been somehow solved. Pelosi's interview with the NYT this week takes the indifference to another level when she actually suggests that not only did Dems solve inflation but anyone who still worries about it is just a "populist who is just as bad as the nation's wealthiest people" in the sense that they should be more worried about democracy in her words. Dems just weren't paying attention to the average conversation among voters who were being blanketed with disinformation about what causes inflation and what can be done to stop it. They thought they could ignore it and clearly that was not the case. Their obliviousness created the perfect avenue for a demagogue to fill the void.
1:08: "Inflation is down." Translation: "For a couple of years running, we drilled 3-inch holes in the bottom of your rowboat. This year, we added just a 2-inch hole."
INFLATION IS DOWN??? Well, that's news to me!!! Might as well go and fill up on $2 per gallon gasoline and use all those extra dollar bills to light my expensive cigars with. As soon as those lies tumbled out of Fareed's mouth, I stopped the video. This guy has no clue, or he just loves to lie. What a CLOWN SHOW this guy is.
Better Analogy. Inflation is the rain that erodes mountains. Just because you slow the rainfall doesn't mean the erosion stops. Just because you stop the rainfall, doesn't mean the soil returns. We litterally stopped the Great inflation of the 1970s. We lost 80% of the buying power of the US dollar. Has it returned?? Nope! Your wealth continues to slowly be eroded away.
@@BillBird2111inflation is at 2.1 and gas prices are down and have been dropping for months. I paid 2.64 per gallon last week here in SC . And btw Bidens policies didn't create inflation. Supply shortages and high labor costs due to such low unemployment ( 3.1-2-3) created such a tight labor market employers had to pay much more in labor costs. Those costs get passed down to the consumer. For ppl who claim they are capitalist they sure don't understand how it works
As an outsider, I am alarmed at the fact that a huge number of the US population are not truly aware of the dangers they are facing as a result of their open border policy.
It's a fake issue brought up EVERY election. Now think of how many decades the Republicans have been in power and never solved it. Because there is no magic trick. MOST WOULD FLY OVER ANY DAMN BORDER AND SIMPLY STAY. And the danger is other Americans. With guns. With power like Trump, his covid lies sent thousands to early graves
Fareed, my man, I like you, but sometimes, life just isn't complicated. When prices rise by 20% or more in 4 years in a country where 50% of the population can’t come up with $500 in an emergency and hasn’t gotten much in the way of raises in decades, that’s tough headwinds for even the best president to prevail in. No inflation, she wins. Sometimes, life just isn’t complicated. It’s always about a person’s pocketbook.
Overly simplistic but not inaccurate. The inflation was to blame but quite bit of the inflation had to do with disastrous energy policies that drove up gas prices and kept them high, which will drive up the cost of almost all goods. Listening to Granholm as energy secretary was the first domino that landed the democrats in a progressive landslide (the bad kind) that they can't recover from. Add in a disastrous border policy (where you eliminate the good policies Trump had that were working, open the border, destroy New York and Chicago when southern governors start bussing migrants to "sanctuary cities" and then try to 180 back to protecting the border 100 days from the election) is also a pretty easy way to screw yourself royally. Democrat policies did it to themselves by deciding to be fucking crazy, and Kamala is a personality vacuum.
Kevin Oleary was right. He argued that NY AG going after Trump on the Stormy Daniel hush money case was going to backfire and put Trump back on the political map. And boy, it sure as hell did
And being in court kept Trump in NYC so he figured he might as well rent out MSG and hold a huge rally with supporters outside jamming up the streets. Well, that backfired 😂
1-Economy 2-Focusing on things that didn't benefit the vast majority of people 3-Border 4-Pretending that there was nothing wrong with Biden when everyone and Stevie Wonder could see the truth.
Someone should tell Fareed that outside of his studio, where people live, that working two jobs to make ends meet is not my definition of "employments up" to pay 30 percent more for food.
Blame it on Trump for controlling cheap and affordable Chinese products which are now either restricted or cost more through tariffs. Biden and Kamala instead of overturning these destructive policies, in fact supported Trump and make American goods expensive again.
@@westwoodly Cheaper goods from China are almost entirely a benefit to the upper incomes and college educated; very little downside. They are much more mixed for the working class - cheaper goods can seem not cheap enough if you have become unemployed or underemployed by the offshoring of jobs. This creates class tension.
I agree with the identity BS. However, on the economy, groceries are up over 40% since Biden took office and taxes are higher so the economy isn't good for most people. On immigration, both Biden and Harris vowed to have an open border policy from day one said they were never going to close the border. And Trump's position on the border isn't "hardline," it's enforcing our nation's immigration laws.
Guess who raised your taxes? Trump. Guess who gave you a tax break starting next year? Biden. Guess who will repeal that and raise your taxes again? Guess who will make everything more expensive with the 30% tarriffs on everything in this country? Look, I agree with everything above in this video and for decades I have been shouting that Dems are terribly out of touch with the economic strain on most people. They had years to do something and they failed. They failed at the border. unforunately though, you and I didn't get a real choice in this election for someone who really would have tackled all these issues.
Isn't that a layover from both trumps Policy and covid? Prices rising is because of cooperate greed and not presidency. On immigration, more ppl go to us legally than illegally. You just focus on them poor ones and not the real immigrant millionaires and billionaires taking over every inch of property you have...
The economy is good for most people. Wages have risen more than prices. And wages have risen more at the bottom end than at the top end. On immigration, indeed Biden was probably too lax. But Trump goes much further than simply enforcing laws: he uses divisive and sadistic rhetoric, he plans to treat migrants inhumanely, and he plans to deport people who are in the country legally.
Why is that, see wee say this I high and that is high but what are the factors, did people forget we had a pandemic and worldwide supply chain issues? Do we know gas and groceries prices are not controlled by the government.
I could not, in good conscience, make common cause with the Party of Pronouns, Identity über alles, and wide open borders. They left me with no choice other than to vote for Trump. I did it to send a message: Return to normalcy, or forever surrender the keys of power.
Cool. You're OK with a rapist, con man, convicted felon, pathological liar, covid mis-management that killed hundreds of thousands, killing a border bill instead of solving the issue at the borders, all because stupid pronouns annoy you. Got it.
The Trump-Biden debate was a turning point for many voters. It questioned the credibility of Democratic leaders. (1)How could they not know Biden’s mental decline? Who’s running the country? (2)Why did they not inform the country? If Democratic leaders, particularly Harris, concealed Biden’s mental decline what else are they willing to do to obtain power and hold on to it? Loss of credibility and trust are difficult to reverse.
and in this situation, when Harris was aked what she would have done different from Biden, she answers says nothing, struggles to think of something... you can see she does not run the country either, and is disengaged totally. Because when you really are engaged in a decision process its impossible to constantly agree on everything. And you could see it was just hard for her to think of something, it is not that she looked like censoring herself... Of course its hard to know perfectly what went through her head, but it sure didnt give the impression she was standing very strongly for stuff during her official role.
The problem is that economic growth in the USA isn't reflected in the economic fortunes of the bulk of its population. Money disproportionately filters up to the already wealthy minority of the country. Neither Republican or Democrat parties want to change from this status quo. So the political differences boil down to cultural and social issues, and the Republicans have proven to be stronger on those fronts this time around.
That concerns me because that's the plight of African Nations e.g Zambia. My concern is on how your standard of living is being eroded to reflect a third world nation.
yes billionairies like trump and musk without obama giving musk gov loans tesla wouldnt exist a billionair from gov subsidies they are against socialism unless its for other billionairs like them
Unlike most idiots in here you actually make sense. The inflation didn't really affect rich and upper middle class people, these people tend to be democrats or non-republicans. However you would be wrong to think that Chump can make grocery prices go back to 2019 level. As a matter of fact he will exacerbate it if he goes ahead with his tariff plan.
Agreed with your point on R and D have not wanted to change from status quo. Mark my words and the wealth chart will show economic gain in the next 4 years will be a lot more for the wealthy and those who invested in their knowledge and skills and work hard while showing mutual respect to others in the civilized manners and healthy debates, but not those who cling on to old ways and conservative ideas while threatening others with violence behind the thin veils of hate and prejudice, as they are waiting for their egotistical, self absorbed messiah to save their economic short comings. You may be able to separate the policy from the character, but non of religious, leadership and business books have encouraged or supported great policies resulted from questionable leaders and characters, unless in war.
“Over educated urban liberals were hypocrites, happy to bend rules to suit their purposes.” Exactly. The silent majority course corrected us. Don’t tell me what to think or believe and no I don’t need you to be successful. In fact you’re in my way. It was a beautiful moment in our history. 🎉
The basic deception of media(trump could do nothing right &only the media tells the truth ) The media &gov't are joined together to work against middle class and poor 😢
eggs, bacon, milk the staples are still 30% higher than they were just 3 years ago. Did you get a 30% raise? Fareed is worth $14 million he is doing fine whats your problem? 🤣
The economy is strong and inflation is down doesn’t translate to groceries and insurance being up 20-30 percent from 4 years ago. Let alone, rent, buying a new home, or a new car. Interest rates too. Does that sound like “just 2 percent inflation” ? We went to 9 percent inflation and this 2 percent inflation is from that 9 percent. Basically what I’m saying is things have not just gotten 2 percent more expensive, which is how lots of people are trying to present it as. I agree with you all the rest
If Trump was in power in the last 4 years everything would be just as expensive. COVID caused disruptions to the supply chains .How is Trump going to make groceries cheaper? There is no price control in the US and Trump has never given a solution to the problem and his billionaire friends don't have the poor in mind when they raise prices
Wages have risen more than prices. Especially at the lower end. Biden's record is good. Perceptions were different, but Trump will now inherit a great economy and almost certainly make things worse...
what world is this guy living in? most people I know are married with each spouse working 2 jobs and still struggling to pay the bills... inflation was thru the roof. anyone buying food can see this easily
@@laza8675 Prices will never go down, that just not how it works, problem is purchasing power is way down and no one is really talking about it. That's why a surge in inflation is so dangerous, because even is wages are rising, that doesn't mean they are rising for eveyone and more importantly, inflation can fuck you up in a year (in some countries even less) and depending on how much inflation fucked you, purchasing power can take years to recover.
@@sergioccs74 Its alarming that "academics and educated urban libs" watch lefty south american goverments lose not only their positions but also their heads cus of inflation caused by bad policy blatant and corruption and then say "hey that's a good idea lets do that here."
How about their hiding Biden's condition from the public and prevailing on him to nominate her as his vice-president? You can also take it back to 2016 when they crowned Hillary instead of running a fair series of primaries. That's what put Trump in the White House in the first place.
No! The Democrats were dumbasses when it came to backing Joe Biden for re-election and even re-writing the rules so that he could not be challenged by another candidate. They were stuck with Kamala, also thanks to Joe. He did select her as VP. So she has been at the center of everything going on with Biden. Basically attached to his hip. So when it came to re-election, the Joe and Kamala campaign was underway and already sitting on over 100 million USD in donations that would have to be given back to their respective donors if another candidate was selected. New prospects (if there were any left from all the bridge burning the DNC just did) would have to go through the primary process and that could split donations and split the delegates. Also, Joe declared Harris as his replacement, which made it extremely difficult to replace her and save the campaign. So the "Fuckups" are far more numerous and deep than that decision.
Getting too far to the left? Lmfao. She said she was going to have republicans in her administration. She courted warmongering conservatives like Liz Cheney. She spent most of her campaign trying to win the votes of Never-Trump Republicans. She had almost no leftist policies at all.
I would also highlight the Identity Politics where if you disagree with something there is no discussion but you just get called a name like racist or anti feminist.

@teresamagnusson Hillary lost even with winning the popular vote. it is crucial that we choose someone beloved by the public. Michelle Obama, oprah, Angelina Jolie, Madonna. ANYONE would have been a better choice. harris' polls from the get go was extremely low. look it up. this is before biden had that disastrous debate.
Years, actually. And once again, they ignored global trends and assumed liberalism was stronger in America than elsewhere in the world, simply because liberal orthodoxy was stronger in the media.
Americans regardless of class are very conservative, religious (christian), pro patriarch, pro heterosexual, etc that's why Trump won. That's the culture and foundation of America. Trump was going to win no doubt about it. Biden and Kamala didn't stand a chance to begin with, it was just obvious. Too be honest, I think the democrats are done for good. Especially because Trump got the young vote.
Speaking the truth that people didn’t vote over pronouns. Is that the truth because I’ve been seeing kids burning to death over in Gaza for months now in the news and people saying we might enter world war 3 but pronouns is one of the three big issues. Yeah okay
republicans force dems into identify politics and culture war. it's not dems that made trans peopleand bathrooms a political issue. It's republicans that use these things and force the rest of us to talk about it. Dems have to learn how to defuse that and pivot to the issues that most people are thinking about, for example the economy perception.
The sad part is that you do not need to even get rid of identity politics. But Transgender is 1.6% of population and gays are 6%. Just devote 10% of your focus on that and you're fine. The other 90% of the focus should be on things like lowering prices at the grocery store, which, SHOCKER, also helps those with identity issues because they eat food, too. It's not an if/or, you can simply prioritize it less. Equality does not matter if everyone is suffering equally. Work on solving the suffering part first.
'The entrie focus of identity politics has morphed into something deeply illiberal; judging people by the color of their skin rather than the content of their character.' : Fareed Zakaria There are predictable outcomes to using color, sex, origin, and ethnic factors as identity; and if you combine, align, and amplify them you can get ads like those and results like these. For better or worse the people have spoken and the majority may not feel as you do no matter how much you believe you are right. Excellent video.
It's especially predictable when painting large swathes of the electorate as born bad, for example white people and men. Heaps of scorn has been heaped on these two groups for years, but the establishment didn't think it would have any electoral consequences? It's like when they discovered and were confused that people like Andrew Tate were popular among boys and young men. Some of them even thought that they needed more talk about "toxic masculinity" to resolve the situation, rather than realizing that this was the culprit itself.
There are a few things that are excluded from the most commonly quoted inflation rate- volatile things that change so much from month to month that if included would give an inaccurate account of inflation most of the time. Food, fuel, and interest are some of them. Interest is excluded because it is something used to control inflation and it would give the opposite of the signal you need to measure its effect by.
@@billmosby673 but these things are the main thing people spend money on! food gas and mortgage! what serious person excludes that from anything supposed to be meaningful in an election?????
Fareed was a cheerleader for all this nonsense while it was going on. Being retrospective now isn't going to save your job. You should have been talking about this stuff over the past four years but you didn't. You should be apologizing, not breaking down why you lost

Democrat party members told the party they didn't want Kamala in 2020. Then the party told the members they were getting Kamala in 2024. Then they lost. How hard is this to understand? Why are people trying to come up with any other reason?
Exactly, on May 2024 Democrats were discussing changing her as VP candidate because due her terrible performance. Then the debate and suddenly all the left media, magically, trying to convince the voters that she was the solution
Because it's female unaccountability. They refuse to accept the multiple mistakes they made (gas lighting about biden cognitive state, anointing a candidate that's unpopular, excessive use of empty celebrities, avoiding issues the electorate cares about) nope none of that matters because if you can label it as sexism then it's an excuse that it's something other than their own sheer incompetence
Na… Trump was winning anyway. He rewrote the script with the podcasts. Would Gavin have done podcasts. Sure. And he would have had to explain why the Democrat party wants to censor podcasts and other social media. Democrats were always going to lose…
I hold Biden responsible for the loss. If he had decided not to seek re-election, the Democrats could have had a real primary and selected a truly deserving candidate
The Democrats at the DNC didn't want a real primary, they wanted a rigged primary. Now that they know they can legally just rig the primary for whoever they want, there will never be another real primary.
@hjones4922 The Democratic party tries to please to many people and the people they cater to only make up a small part of the party. The alphabet community will eventually break the party. Republicans like myself embrace that community to a point, but when common sense is thrown out the window I draw a line. Like dudes playing in women sports. It's just not right. Dudes in lady bathrooms.
Honestly very good analysis. Most people I've spoken too including both Trump and Kamala voters find the identity politics stuff to be bigoted and to be stereotyping people. These same people would also only acknowledge they think that if I first gave some implication that's how I felt. It was as though they were afraid to admit to it unless absolutely sure I would also agree and reasonably so. The progressives kicked out JK Rowling for disagreeing relatively softly on one issue with them. Shes literally a progressive in every single other way, but one disagreement so now they boycott her. They purity spiraled so hard that they siloed themselves and didn't even realize that it was unpopular because people were uncomfortable admitting they disagreed with them.
IMO, her disagreement was not soft, but in fact rather rabid. As you said however, it was a single issue. Trans people are ~1% of the US population. While a lot higher than I expected, it's still way too marginal. It's lunacy to cater to them if it pisses off a much larger portion of the population. I think they deserve basic rights, but at the same time, it was unwise to hunt everyone who made anti trans statements. Now we're stuck with an orange dictator who is probably even more anti trans than JK Rowling.
His primary source of wealth comes from his role as the host of CNN's popular show, Fareed Zakaria GPS, where he earns an impressive annual salary of $5 million.
I’m honestly amazed. This is the first time I’ve heard this acknowledged on live tv. Very wise . Now convince the rest not to double down and continue blaming the loss on misogyny and racism 🤦♂️😂 like that’s why you lost in the first place people lol
@@infodaynightconv1445 oh yea Fareed is conservative do you even hear yourself what does "conservative" even mean if Fareed Zakaria is conservative. Next youll be telling me Trump received too much favorable medai coverage, corporate media is in the tank for Trump right?
Ignoring him and 4:59 - leaving him completely alone would’ve been the best choice by all lawyers & MSM. You guys are basically his reality TV producers.
Amen, Mauricio Gonzalez! Trump figured out how to game the media ecosystem and they never seemed to realize it (or care). They were completely mesmerized by his loudmouthed, vulgarian, populist shtick and they willfully paved the road to the White House with torrents of free publicity they called "news." Total complicity.
Yes, I think the constant attacks by the dems really affirmed to his followers and new followers he picked up that they were out to get him. The best thing to do was not go after him so aggressively on every single thing regardless if you agree with it or not. With him being in the constant spot light, it only guaranteed his message would get out with a stronger impact. Without an economy to back up their claims there was no way any of his followers would turn against him. It only further divided the left and right. If the economy does recover under Trump regardless if it was his policies or Bidens, then it is almost guaranteed a republican will win the next election if the Dems don’t change their strategy and fast. Stop trying to be politically correct to a few people

I myself as an American Latino, i didn't shift to the so-called Right because of Machoism!!?? I voted for Hillary in 2016 and Obama in 2008... Simply, I got tired / frustrated of the inflation and having little left in the pocket.. I voted DEM for 24 straight yrs and became an Independent last year because of Inflation...
Across the west the liberals and soft right have become obsessed with never once admitting they have ever gotten anything wrong They simply resort to telling everyone .. its "complex" its "better than you think" to "its you, you are just stupid"
Yet inflation is back to it's normal range, and it was a global issue. I don't understand this argument, you voted against the side that got inflation under control after a Covid-driven inflation spike worldwide. And you voted for the side whose economic policies are expected to push inflation back up (as stated by 98% of economists)
Interesting, because when Fareed said that the economy is doing better than other countries, I was confused, because inflation seems to be one of the biggest reasons Trump won. But your point, that the economy may be doing better than most other countries, but most Americans wouldn't realize that and just think the economy is bad, cleared things up for me :)
My car insurance with State Farm just went up $63 per month. My Medicare part G with Omaha just went up $20 per month. What economy are you talking about?
Yes. People judge their own personal economic situation by simple measures - can they pay for groceries, gas, rent/mortgage, medicine and if they can take a vacation. And most importantly, how much wealth they have relative to their neighbors. As long as income inequality is widening, no matter how well the economy is doing, people will always feel poor if compared to their 1% neighbors.
Don't listen to this mixture of jombo Mombo,. Here is why trump won and Harris lost. Economy:. In spite of acceptable rate of employment, voters suffered under extraordinary inflationary pressure where their real purchasing power has declined. Trump saw this as a salient point and hammered on it. War and rumors of the wars:. Although Americans weren't involved directly in Ukraine and Palestine wars but felt they are paying heavely out of their pockets to finance these wars. Trump again took this as an issue and capitalized on it for his own benefits. And lastly,. Border problem with influx of millions getting in, again a negative for Harris and a positive on trump's ledger. Now you know why trump won and the lady lost.
I will add that it was ridiculous for a man who made it his priority to install tampon dispensers in boys' bathrooms came out of the gate calling a family man like J.D. Vance weird. I think most people are live and let live, but a governor prioritizing and bragging about putting tampons in boys' bathrooms is the point where most people think Democrats have gone over the edge.
No they didn’t. They opened the border and let millions in that they intended to give welfare and amnesty to for votes. Trump will have the border secure in January. Almost like “magic” to people too stupid to realize what Biden and loser Kamala did.
No, the Democrats worked in the Senate with Republicans to draft a bill to help the problem, but Trump told Johnson to block it in order to maintain using the issue to run on. You’ve been conned again.
I am an independent (Former Republican) and I can say that right wing sources are even worse. Left wing sources are loyal to an ideology. Right wing sources are loyal to one man, and that is even more dangerous.
I think what the Democrats need to realize is that our economy is good…for some. If you’re rich, if you’re a Wall Street investor, you’re probably doing great. The middle class? Not so much. Our *cost of living* is a massive burden.
Well that may be true .... Chump and the republicans will make it much worse for the working and middle class. However, Chump does have the luck of being able to falsely claim credit, for a couple of years, for the economic engine that Biden created. It was the same in 2016 when Chump rode on the coattails of what Obama did over the previous 8 years.
And it's going to get a whole lost worse... I'm worried about losing my medical insurance and the future of social security.. those who voted for him are going to be so sorry.. BIG MISTAKE.. HUGE MISTAKE.
People need to upvote comments about rich commentators not understanding how much the average person is struggling. Smart people don't understand "it's the economy, stupid"
"Middle class" is such a shamefully misinformed term today. Especially when you have people making less than $14/hr being considered as "middle class".
He has been saying this. As an immigrant, I understand very well why legal immigrants after spending decades to get naturalized won’t want people coming illegally. Dems don’t have practical sense. They feel if you are brown, you are one and same. Your country of origin does not matter, your ethnicity (South/South East Asian vs Hispanic) does not matter, your ideology does not matter, your social status does not matter. They appear to care about the words. They appear to be kind. Then the term “Non-college educated” and sometimes they say by mistake “uneducated” rub people wrongly. They only have empathy about terms when it is about LGBTQ but not for blue collar folks.
I predicted the 2024 election loss 3 years ago when the bill back better bill fiasco occurred. I also predicted that they would lose majority in the following year which they did. I'm also currently predicting that they are still on a path to failure because even after the 2024 loss they still have not learned their lesson. The major talking point is that they need to change their messaging. That's their lesson from this loss. More words. However since I don't ponder to the left or the right or the ridiculous enlightened centrist opportunists, my channel will always be small so unfortunately the message doesn't get out. Left to media is talking about messaging and not taking accountability for the failures. Main Street media is doing their version of the same thing. This means that unfortunately somebody far worse than Trump is coming...
Good job Fareed! You are finally asking the REAL questions and giving real critiques. This is the first election I voted republican. I did it for the global wars, promise of energy independence, border security, my own pocket book, and all of the political intimidation and threats of cancel culture and censorship I faced for having different opinions on the culture wars.
Exactly, they scared even their own constituents forgetting that humans are moral beings who know right from wrong when they hear it! They thought they could brainwash the masses. Harris even had 1 billion dollars more in campaign contributions than Trump, could you believe that! YET she still lost. Human beings are beyond brainwashing no matter how much you spend! Demos are now the party of the rich!
Wars won't stop for Trump, climate warming will be accelerated by Trump, the Dems failed their voters in many ways, but voting for DT is a massive act of self-harm.
Dont forget in India, a united opposition gave a serious fight to the invincible Modi. This, like it or not, is Democracy. No one is above being beaten in an election. If you dont like that, go live in a REAL autocracy.
Telling a family that’s being crushed by a 30% increase in grocery prices that the ‘economy is great’, is the very essence of gaslighting.
It's not grocerys that cost money, it's housing cost. Read across the internet. Housing prices have gone up as much as 300%; insurance is high; utilities are high. Property taxes. Only a FEW grocery items are higher, but the majority of groceries are within reasonable cost. HOUSING is NOT in reasonable cost. In Chicago a studio cost $1200; a 1 bdrm cost $2100; it's ridiculous! You have to live with a roommate to make rent. In CHI, they just increased property taxes almost 1000%. Everybody is upset.

and that women were afraid to walk down to the abortion clinic in their town when passing all the tents
Also, the trans issue (in this case, inclusion of trans women in female-only spaces) allowed the Republicans to portray themselves as protecting women's rights.
@@init100 To be fair to the REpublicans, they have been at the forefront of fighting against this craziness of letting men/boys who decide they are trans-women to go and participate in womens sports includign contact sports like boxing and wrestling. ONce, years ago, 10 state governors issued strong statement against this and worked to forbid such events in their states. How many do you think were Democratic party governors? ZERO. This was before women starting suffering broken skulls in boxing. Even today why is it that Democratic party folks are so reluctant to speak against this. Years ago, just when this craziness was beginning, 3 smart high school guys, decided to play the system. They wanted sports based scholarships/admission to prestigious universities. So they went the trans-women route, and declared they feel like they are women. All three who were average in boys sports, now did excellent as girls. Three of them got into the topmost universities [universities being almost all super liberal, were excited to have trans students in their roll]. This was almost a decade ago, or earlier. I always admire these three dudes, who took full advantage of the foolishness of the liberal mindset and rode their way to their dreams. Full paid scholarishps to the best universities of their dreams.

Wow. Excellent point.
Telling people to ignore 20% + increase in the cost of living over a two year span was fatal.
Thank you!! I have yet to hear this from talking heads like this when evaluating "what went wrong".

40% increase in cost of living.
I really felt it was 1)cost of living increase (remember when the liberal media types made fun of the simpletons complaining about eggs? They arent laughing now.

Great question; that is exactly where I clicked off the video.
Lots of dumb gullible Americans out there. And they all reside on the Left.
Inflation is down? Maybe it's not rising as fast as before, but prices are WAY UP! Get in touch with the average American consumer.
"Inflation is down" is like saying I only beat my spouse 2 times per week instead of 4.
Yes, that was a little word game he played there.
The Fake News omits 2 things here : I. When inflation is down, it doesn't mean it's gone neither that it's previous effects are mitigated II. The economic figures are "re-defined" if not to say doctored/fiddled,....Their conduct to indoctronate us with this poison has a risk: that they fell victim to it themselves and they believe their own propaganda.
Good point. It's not like we are experiencing deflation right now. Prices still going up.
yes, that's exactly what that means...
So, with Trump back in office, I’m feeling a bit uneasy. It feels like the economy could get more unpredictable, and I keep hearing Bitcoin might be a good hedge against that. But is it actually worth the risk?
That’s a fair question. Trump’s policies usually push for lower taxes and fewer regulations, which can be good for markets but also add volatility. Bitcoin’s appeal has definitely grown as an alternative asset during times like this, but it’s far from a guaranteed safe bet.
I totally understand. When things got shaky in the last election cycle, working with Deanna Renee Larue
helped me manage the uncertainty. She guided me to invest a little in Bitcoin while keeping most of my portfolio stable, and that balance made a big difference.
Exactly. It’s all about balancing the risk.Deanna Renee Larue Cressotti would probably recommend a diversified approach, including Bitcoin as a small part of your portfolio along with other assets. That way, even if Trump’s policies shake things up or Bitcoin swings wildly, you’re not overly exposed.
I’m still a bit skeptical, to be honest. Trump’s pro-business stance might create short-term gains in the market, but what about Bitcoin’s long-term potential? It seems like it’s driven by speculation more than anything else.
Good point. That’s why selective investing is key. Deanna Renee Larue Cressotti often suggests investing in Bitcoin carefully and balancing it with safer assets, like bonds or consumer staples. If Bitcoin grows, you benefit, but if it drops, your other investments keep you steady.

I was going to say that each person completely missed the point about inflation. They are practically dismissive of it like it has been somehow solved. Pelosi's interview with the NYT this week takes the indifference to another level when she actually suggests that not only did Dems solve inflation but anyone who still worries about it is just a "populist who is just as bad as the nation's wealthiest people" in the sense that they should be more worried about democracy in her words. Dems just weren't paying attention to the average conversation among voters who were being blanketed with disinformation about what causes inflation and what can be done to stop it. They thought they could ignore it and clearly that was not the case. Their obliviousness created the perfect avenue for a demagogue to fill the void.

INFLATION IS DOWN, I should be glad that I'm baking this Christmas with $5 butter rather than $7
As an outsider, I am alarmed at the fact that a huge number of the US population are not truly aware of the dangers they are facing as a result of their open border policy.
It's a fake issue brought up EVERY election. Now think of how many decades the Republicans have been in power and never solved it. Because there is no magic trick. MOST WOULD FLY OVER ANY DAMN BORDER AND SIMPLY STAY.
And the danger is other Americans. With guns. With power like Trump, his covid lies sent thousands to early graves
Outsider from a dictatorship? You should take care of your own country
Fareed, my man, I like you, but sometimes, life just isn't complicated. When prices rise by 20% or more in 4 years in a country where 50% of the population can’t come up with $500 in an emergency and hasn’t gotten much in the way of raises in decades, that’s tough headwinds for even the best president to prevail in. No inflation, she wins. Sometimes, life just isn’t complicated. It’s always about a person’s pocketbook.
Overly simplistic but not inaccurate. The inflation was to blame but quite bit of the inflation had to do with disastrous energy policies that drove up gas prices and kept them high, which will drive up the cost of almost all goods. Listening to Granholm as energy secretary was the first domino that landed the democrats in a progressive landslide (the bad kind) that they can't recover from. Add in a disastrous border policy (where you eliminate the good policies Trump had that were working, open the border, destroy New York and Chicago when southern governors start bussing migrants to "sanctuary cities" and then try to 180 back to protecting the border 100 days from the election) is also a pretty easy way to screw yourself royally.
Democrat policies did it to themselves by deciding to be fucking crazy, and Kamala is a personality vacuum.
CNN: are you still quoting polls? You had Kamala polling 4 pts higher than Trump…
CNN polls have a margen of error of 30 %. That´s why.😁
She only lost by 2% points.
Kevin Oleary was right. He argued that NY AG going after Trump on the Stormy Daniel hush money case was going to backfire and put Trump back on the political map. And boy, it sure as hell did
And being in court kept Trump in NYC so he figured he might as well rent out MSG and hold a huge rally with supporters outside jamming up the streets. Well, that backfired 😂
That’s ok
He isn’t above the law

Someone should tell Fareed that outside of his studio, where people live, that working two jobs to make ends meet is not my definition of "employments up" to pay 30 percent more for food.
Blame it on Trump for controlling cheap and affordable Chinese products which are now either restricted or cost more through tariffs. Biden and Kamala instead of overturning these destructive policies, in fact supported Trump and make American goods expensive again.
@@westwoodly Cheaper goods from China are almost entirely a benefit to the upper incomes and college educated; very little downside.
They are much more mixed for the working class - cheaper goods can seem not cheap enough if you have become unemployed or underemployed by the offshoring of jobs. This creates class tension.
I agree with the identity BS. However, on the economy, groceries are up over 40% since Biden took office and taxes are higher so the economy isn't good for most people. On immigration, both Biden and Harris vowed to have an open border policy from day one said they were never going to close the border. And Trump's position on the border isn't "hardline," it's enforcing our nation's immigration laws.
Guess who raised your taxes? Trump. Guess who gave you a tax break starting next year? Biden. Guess who will repeal that and raise your taxes again? Guess who will make everything more expensive with the 30% tarriffs on everything in this country? Look, I agree with everything above in this video and for decades I have been shouting that Dems are terribly out of touch with the economic strain on most people. They had years to do something and they failed. They failed at the border. unforunately though, you and I didn't get a real choice in this election for someone who really would have tackled all these issues.
Isn't that a layover from both trumps Policy and covid? Prices rising is because of cooperate greed and not presidency. On immigration, more ppl go to us legally than illegally. You just focus on them poor ones and not the real immigrant millionaires and billionaires taking over every inch of property you have...
The economy is good for most people. Wages have risen more than prices. And wages have risen more at the bottom end than at the top end.
On immigration, indeed Biden was probably too lax. But Trump goes much further than simply enforcing laws: he uses divisive and sadistic rhetoric, he plans to treat migrants inhumanely, and he plans to deport people who are in the country legally.
Why is that, see wee say this I high and that is high but what are the factors, did people forget we had a pandemic and worldwide supply chain issues? Do we know gas and groceries prices are not controlled by the government.
@@Laninafresa1245 ah yeah let's talk about the pandemic and how great Biden did on that. Oh wait, he didn't do well at all.

@@whirlwindofmemoriesRight, that was a negative but way back the reasons for the Harris loss.
The Trump-Biden debate was a turning point for many voters. It questioned the credibility of Democratic leaders.
(1)How could they not know Biden’s mental decline? Who’s running the country?
(2)Why did they not inform the country? If Democratic leaders, particularly Harris, concealed Biden’s mental decline what else are they willing to do to obtain power and hold on to it?
Loss of credibility and trust are difficult to reverse.
EVERYBODY knew about Bidens mental state. They just tried so hard to hide it. Media gas lighted the public.
Who's running the country seeing the President isn't fit for purpose?
That's just b.s. Reagan had Alzheimer's in his 2nd term and was covered up. Where was the lost of confidence? 🤣
and in this situation, when Harris was aked what she would have done different from Biden, she answers says nothing, struggles to think of something... you can see she does not run the country either, and is disengaged totally. Because when you really are engaged in a decision process its impossible to constantly agree on everything. And you could see it was just hard for her to think of something, it is not that she looked like censoring herself... Of course its hard to know perfectly what went through her head, but it sure didnt give the impression she was standing very strongly for stuff during her official role.

3:55 "She should have said" - the hypocrisy is APPALLING! Basically, he's telling that she should have lied.
The problem is that economic growth in the USA isn't reflected in the economic fortunes of the bulk of its population. Money disproportionately filters up to the already wealthy minority of the country. Neither Republican or Democrat parties want to change from this status quo. So the political differences boil down to cultural and social issues, and the Republicans have proven to be stronger on those fronts this time around.
That concerns me because that's the plight of African Nations e.g Zambia. My concern is on how your standard of living is being eroded to reflect a third world nation.
yes billionairies like trump and musk without obama giving musk gov loans tesla wouldnt exist a billionair from gov subsidies they are against socialism unless its for other billionairs like them
Unlike most idiots in here you actually make sense. The inflation didn't really affect rich and upper middle class people, these people tend to be democrats or non-republicans. However you would be wrong to think that Chump can make grocery prices go back to 2019 level. As a matter of fact he will exacerbate it if he goes ahead with his tariff plan.
Agreed with your point on R and D have not wanted to change from status quo. Mark my words and the wealth chart will show economic gain in the next 4 years will be a lot more for the wealthy and those who invested in their knowledge and skills and work hard while showing mutual respect to others in the civilized manners and healthy debates, but not those who cling on to old ways and conservative ideas while threatening others with violence behind the thin veils of hate and prejudice, as they are waiting for their egotistical, self absorbed messiah to save their economic short comings. You may be able to separate the policy from the character, but non of religious, leadership and business books have encouraged or supported great policies resulted from questionable leaders and characters, unless in war.

@@Person0fColor it's called capitalism...if you want socialism we can get prices down.
The economy is strong and inflation is down doesn’t translate to groceries and insurance being up 20-30 percent from 4 years ago. Let alone, rent, buying a new home, or a new car. Interest rates too. Does that sound like “just 2 percent inflation” ?
We went to 9 percent inflation and this 2 percent inflation is from that 9 percent.
Basically what I’m saying is things have not just gotten 2 percent more expensive, which is how lots of people are trying to present it as.
I agree with you all the rest
Corporate greed and COVID has nothing to do with a president. Does Trump have a magic ward? Wait and see. If A is bad - B could be even worse.
Correct. Those official numbers are misleading.
If Trump was in power in the last 4 years everything would be just as expensive. COVID caused disruptions to the supply chains .How is Trump going to make groceries cheaper? There is no price control in the US and Trump has never given a solution to the problem and his billionaire friends don't have the poor in mind when they raise prices
That's because they manipulate the numbers and because inflation is cumulative
Wages have risen more than prices. Especially at the lower end. Biden's record is good. Perceptions were different, but Trump will now inherit a great economy and almost certainly make things worse...
Better title "We, CCN, blew it by making 3 big mistakes"

@@laza8675 Prices will never go down, that just not how it works, problem is purchasing power is way down and no one is really talking about it. That's why a surge in inflation is so dangerous, because even is wages are rising, that doesn't mean they are rising for eveyone and more importantly, inflation can fuck you up in a year (in some countries even less) and depending on how much inflation fucked you, purchasing power can take years to recover.

Dems blew it by picking Kamala Harris’ dumbass and not having a primary. And getting too far to the left.
No, the people blew it when they trusted a party aka the Republicans who are domestic terrorists.
Harris didnt even make it to Iowa in 2020 and they thought she was going to carry and national election. This is farce
How about their hiding Biden's condition from the public and prevailing on him to nominate her as his vice-president? You can also take it back to 2016 when they crowned Hillary instead of running a fair series of primaries. That's what put Trump in the White House in the first place.
No! The Democrats were dumbasses when it came to backing Joe Biden for re-election and even re-writing the rules so that he could not be challenged by another candidate. They were stuck with Kamala, also thanks to Joe. He did select her as VP. So she has been at the center of everything going on with Biden. Basically attached to his hip. So when it came to re-election, the Joe and Kamala campaign was underway and already sitting on over 100 million USD in donations that would have to be given back to their respective donors if another candidate was selected. New prospects (if there were any left from all the bridge burning the DNC just did) would have to go through the primary process and that could split donations and split the delegates. Also, Joe declared Harris as his replacement, which made it extremely difficult to replace her and save the campaign. So the "Fuckups" are far more numerous and deep than that decision.
Getting too far to the left? Lmfao. She said she was going to have republicans in her administration. She courted warmongering conservatives like Liz Cheney. She spent most of her campaign trying to win the votes of Never-Trump Republicans. She had almost no leftist policies at all.
I would also highlight the Identity Politics where if you disagree with something there is no discussion but you just get called a name like racist or anti feminist.

@ alot of democrats shifting to the right.
Thank you for so clearly and eloquently pointing out the illiberality of identity politics. I hope that Democrats will listen.
republicans force dems into identify politics and culture war. it's not dems that made trans peopleand bathrooms a political issue. It's republicans that use these things and force the rest of us to talk about it. Dems have to learn how to defuse that and pivot to the issues that most people are thinking about, for example the economy perception.
The sad part is that you do not need to even get rid of identity politics. But Transgender is 1.6% of population and gays are 6%. Just devote 10% of your focus on that and you're fine. The other 90% of the focus should be on things like lowering prices at the grocery store, which, SHOCKER, also helps those with identity issues because they eat food, too. It's not an if/or, you can simply prioritize it less. Equality does not matter if everyone is suffering equally. Work on solving the suffering part first.
I hope the next dem candidate also advocates for tax-payer funded transition surgeries for illegal aliens in detention.
When did Harris run on identity politics? Last time I checked, trump was the one who brought that up this campaign cycle.
except wokeism is not a blunder
'The entrie focus of identity politics has morphed into something deeply illiberal; judging people by the color of their skin rather than the content of their character.' : Fareed Zakaria
There are predictable outcomes to using color, sex, origin, and ethnic factors as identity; and if you combine, align, and amplify them you can get ads like those and results like these. For better or worse the people have spoken and the majority may not feel as you do no matter how much you believe you are right.
Excellent video.
It's especially predictable when painting large swathes of the electorate as born bad, for example white people and men. Heaps of scorn has been heaped on these two groups for years, but the establishment didn't think it would have any electoral consequences?
It's like when they discovered and were confused that people like Andrew Tate were popular among boys and young men. Some of them even thought that they needed more talk about "toxic masculinity" to resolve the situation, rather than realizing that this was the culprit itself.

There are a few things that are excluded from the most commonly quoted inflation rate- volatile things that change so much from month to month that if included would give an inaccurate account of inflation most of the time. Food, fuel, and interest are some of them. Interest is excluded because it is something used to control inflation and it would give the opposite of the signal you need to measure its effect by.

They made a hell of a lot more than 3 mistakes. And cnn made a bigger one by picking their side
Democrat party members told the party they didn't want Kamala in 2020. Then the party told the members they were getting Kamala in 2024. Then they lost. How hard is this to understand? Why are people trying to come up with any other reason?
Exactly, on May 2024 Democrats were discussing changing her as VP candidate because due her terrible performance. Then the debate and suddenly all the left media, magically, trying to convince the voters that she was the solution
Because it's female unaccountability. They refuse to accept the multiple mistakes they made (gas lighting about biden cognitive state, anointing a candidate that's unpopular, excessive use of empty celebrities, avoiding issues the electorate cares about) nope none of that matters because if you can label it as sexism then it's an excuse that it's something other than their own sheer incompetence
Na… Trump was winning anyway. He rewrote the script with the podcasts. Would Gavin have done podcasts. Sure. And he would have had to explain why the Democrat party wants to censor podcasts and other social media. Democrats were always going to lose…
Exactly. The DNC knew she was unelectable and they nominated her anyway. They threw the election on purpose.
Harris did better in the swing states than Democrats did overall. Her campaign was good. She was a good candidate. The problems are bigger than that.
“Judging people by the colour of their skin rather than the content of their character ” - loved how you put how deeply illiberal it is Fareed!
I remember it from vivek ramaswamys extrardinary speech in republican caucus if didnt watch it.
Agree!
We’re not going to say Gaza or inflation denial?
I hold Biden responsible for the loss. If he had decided not to seek re-election, the Democrats could have had a real primary and selected a truly deserving candidate
Are you kidding? Biden is senile. You are joking right (about him seeking re-election)?
The press refused to report on it. Why? Most everyone knew it.
The problems are bigger than that. But for the sake of argument, who should have been the candidate.
The Democrats at the DNC didn't want a real primary, they wanted a rigged primary. Now that they know they can legally just rig the primary for whoever they want, there will never be another real primary.
@hjones4922 The Democratic party tries to please to many people and the people they cater to only make up a small part of the party. The alphabet community will eventually break the party. Republicans like myself embrace that community to a point, but when common sense is thrown out the window I draw a line. Like dudes playing in women sports. It's just not right. Dudes in lady bathrooms.
Honestly very good analysis. Most people I've spoken too including both Trump and Kamala voters find the identity politics stuff to be bigoted and to be stereotyping people. These same people would also only acknowledge they think that if I first gave some implication that's how I felt. It was as though they were afraid to admit to it unless absolutely sure I would also agree and reasonably so. The progressives kicked out JK Rowling for disagreeing relatively softly on one issue with them. Shes literally a progressive in every single other way, but one disagreement so now they boycott her. They purity spiraled so hard that they siloed themselves and didn't even realize that it was unpopular because people were uncomfortable admitting they disagreed with them.
So bigoted but then they go and vote for the actual bigot?
IMO, her disagreement was not soft, but in fact rather rabid. As you said however, it was a single issue. Trans people are ~1% of the US population. While a lot higher than I expected, it's still way too marginal. It's lunacy to cater to them if it pisses off a much larger portion of the population.
I think they deserve basic rights, but at the same time, it was unwise to hunt everyone who made anti trans statements. Now we're stuck with an orange dictator who is probably even more anti trans than JK Rowling.
They tried to torch her career because she is a woman, it is hate pure and simple.

Yes, I think the constant attacks by the dems really affirmed to his followers and new followers he picked up that they were out to get him. The best thing to do was not go after him so aggressively on every single thing regardless if you agree with it or not. With him being in the constant spot light, it only guaranteed his message would get out with a stronger impact. Without an economy to back up their claims there was no way any of his followers would turn against him. It only further divided the left and right. If the economy does recover under Trump regardless if it was his policies or Bidens, then it is almost guaranteed a republican will win the next election if the Dems don’t change their strategy and fast.

Across the west the liberals and soft right have become obsessed with never once admitting they have ever gotten anything wrong
They simply resort to telling everyone .. its "complex" its "better than you think" to "its you, you are just stupid"
Yet inflation is back to it's normal range, and it was a global issue. I don't understand this argument, you voted against the side that got inflation under control after a Covid-driven inflation spike worldwide. And you voted for the side whose economic policies are expected to push inflation back up (as stated by 98% of economists)
Educate yourself inflation was a global issue and primarily because of the federal reserve.
Ignorance has consequences!
Simplistic take on DEI. I don't know one single Dem candidate that ran on "identity politics." They avoided anything remotely close to it.
"Wages are up, inflation is down, economy is in great shape" - That is pure propaganda turned into language. Ask the people, they feel different.
Wages are up and inflation is down are factually correct statements. That doesn't mean PRICES have come down.
@@jesusbowls No, those are lies. Wages are NOT up and we wage earners know it. Try working sometime and find the truth.
Then why is a trip to the grocery store more than a car payment?
Though on average their salary is higher now.
@@bigverybadtom Look at the BLS Employment Cost index.
It really doesn’t matter if the US economy is stronger than most other nations right now - most Americans will never know that, or care
Interesting, because when Fareed said that the economy is doing better than other countries, I was confused, because inflation seems to be one of the biggest reasons Trump won. But your point, that the economy may be doing better than most other countries, but most Americans wouldn't realize that and just think the economy is bad, cleared things up for me :)
My car insurance with State Farm just went up $63 per month. My Medicare part G with Omaha just went up $20 per month. What economy are you talking about?
Yes. People judge their own personal economic situation by simple measures - can they pay for groceries, gas, rent/mortgage, medicine and if they can take a vacation. And most importantly, how much wealth they have relative to their neighbors. As long as income inequality is widening, no matter how well the economy is doing, people will always feel poor if compared to their 1% neighbors.
Ur right, so weirddddd
@@ClassicFIHDYou pay half the car insurance I pay.
Well said, but CNN played a major role in all this liberal madness
They didn’t play a role. They purposely created it…
Not well said.
Fareed; Its you, not me. 😮😂😅😊
Don't listen to this mixture of jombo Mombo,. Here is why trump won and Harris lost.
Economy:. In spite of acceptable rate of employment, voters suffered under extraordinary inflationary pressure where their real purchasing power has declined. Trump saw this as a salient point and hammered on it.
War and rumors of the wars:. Although Americans weren't involved directly in Ukraine and Palestine wars but felt they are paying heavely out of their pockets to finance these wars. Trump again took this as an issue and capitalized on it for his own benefits.
And lastly,. Border problem with influx of millions getting in, again a negative for Harris and a positive on trump's ledger. Now you know why trump won and the lady lost.
I will add that it was ridiculous for a man who made it his priority to install tampon dispensers in boys' bathrooms came out of the gate calling a family man like J.D. Vance weird. I think most people are live and let live, but a governor prioritizing and bragging about putting tampons in boys' bathrooms is the point where most people think Democrats have gone over the edge.
I agree with Fareed on the immigration issue - the Democrats just waved the problem off
No they didn’t. They opened the border and let millions in that they intended to give welfare and amnesty to for votes. Trump will have the border secure in January. Almost like “magic” to people too stupid to realize what Biden and loser Kamala did.
Yes and other than getting some immigrants to sign up for voting, there wasn’t much talk about why the massive leniency.?
Except Dems helped engineer the bipartisan bill earlier this year which Trump shot down. Did you forget that?
No, the Democrats worked in the Senate with Republicans to draft a bill to help the problem, but Trump told Johnson to block it in order to maintain using the issue to run on.
You’ve been conned again.
@@silverman5707
Bullshit.
Imagine still believing mainstream media, like genuinely.. imagine being that lost in life
This is a pretty good analysis. Zakaria is very reasonable and thoughtful.
Dems need to listen to this guy asap
😂😂😂😂😂
They won’t, unfortunately. They’re convinced that they’re the “good guys” and no amount of facts or logic can penetrate that brainwashing.
They won't listen they are busy having a fit on Tick tock
I'm very tired of, and sick of, the New York Times.
Cancel your subscription. Problem solved.
I am an independent (Former Republican) and I can say that right wing sources are even worse. Left wing sources are loyal to an ideology. Right wing sources are loyal to one man, and that is even more dangerous.
So don’t read it lmao
@@elitealice The guest was from the New York Times trying to spin their propaganda again.
@@elitealice naw. Subversive propaganda gets the gulag
I think what the Democrats need to realize is that our economy is good…for some.
If you’re rich, if you’re a Wall Street investor, you’re probably doing great.
The middle class? Not so much. Our *cost of living* is a massive burden.
Well that may be true .... Chump and the republicans will make it much worse for the working and middle class. However, Chump does have the luck of being able to falsely claim credit, for a couple of years, for the economic engine that Biden created. It was the same in 2016 when Chump rode on the coattails of what Obama did over the previous 8 years.
And it's going to get a whole lost worse... I'm worried about losing my medical insurance and the future of social security.. those who voted for him are going to be so sorry.. BIG MISTAKE.. HUGE MISTAKE.
@@cocolu815 Not like the Democrats or Republicans are going to solve that problem.
People need to upvote comments about rich commentators not understanding how much the average person is struggling. Smart people don't understand "it's the economy, stupid"
"Middle class" is such a shamefully misinformed term today. Especially when you have people making less than $14/hr being considered as "middle class".
Great and clear summary analysis. Best I've seen. Thank you Mr. Zakaria.
Wow give this man an oscar for telling the truth😢. They are finally getting some sense
He has been saying this. As an immigrant, I understand very well why legal immigrants after spending decades to get naturalized won’t want people coming illegally. Dems don’t have practical sense. They feel if you are brown, you are one and same. Your country of origin does not matter, your ethnicity (South/South East Asian vs Hispanic) does not matter, your ideology does not matter, your social status does not matter.
They appear to care about the words. They appear to be kind. Then the term “Non-college educated” and sometimes they say by mistake “uneducated” rub people wrongly. They only have empathy about terms when it is about LGBTQ but not for blue collar folks.
Wait until 1 month from now. Mainstream media never "get" sense. He will devolve again in their typical b.s
@@djdrews Securing the borders and lowering taxes totally makes no sense.
"Monday experts" are are so infuriating. Where was all this wisdom and "expertise" a year ago when ordinary folks were talking about it.
Bernie Sanders was the antidote but the Dems made their bed on that.
Fareed has been talking about this for over a year
I predicted the 2024 election loss 3 years ago when the bill back better bill fiasco occurred. I also predicted that they would lose majority in the following year which they did. I'm also currently predicting that they are still on a path to failure because even after the 2024 loss they still have not learned their lesson. The major talking point is that they need to change their messaging. That's their lesson from this loss. More words.
However since I don't ponder to the left or the right or the ridiculous enlightened centrist opportunists, my channel will always be small so unfortunately the message doesn't get out. Left to media is talking about messaging and not taking accountability for the failures. Main Street media is doing their version of the same thing. This means that unfortunately somebody far worse than Trump is coming...
@@misterdemocracy3335 Bernie Sanders is even more extreme than Biden. That's a fail.
@@misterdemocracy3335 Absolutely. that is precisely when the Democratic party left me, and the middle class.
Good job Fareed! You are finally asking the REAL questions and giving real critiques. This is the first election I voted republican. I did it for the global wars, promise of energy independence, border security, my own pocket book, and all of the political intimidation and threats of cancel culture and censorship I faced for having different opinions on the culture wars.
Exactly, they scared even their own constituents forgetting that humans are moral beings who know right from wrong when they hear it! They thought they could brainwash the masses. Harris even had 1 billion dollars more in campaign contributions than Trump, could you believe that! YET she still lost. Human beings are beyond brainwashing no matter how much you spend! Demos are now the party of the rich!
Gaza is the word nothing else.
Wars won't stop for Trump, climate warming will be accelerated by Trump, the Dems failed their voters in many ways, but voting for DT is a massive act of self-harm.
Short version: blame the left and trans people for a centrist candidate's abject failure. This is a cope, nothing more.
Dont forget in India, a united opposition gave a serious fight to the invincible Modi. This, like it or not, is Democracy. No one is above being beaten in an election. If you dont like that, go live in a REAL autocracy.
