I'm from a red state . Even though I do vote I feel like it doesn't matter. Let's end the Electoral College and gerrymandering...
agreed. How do we change it to elect a president by majority vote. Just like governors and everyone else?
I like David Jolly more every time I hear him speak. Doesn’t mean I’d agree with him on everything but I think he’s sane, logical, and forward looking.
Go, Jamie Raskin, ranked choice voting, YES!!
Ranked choice voting yes let’s us do this …
We have had that in Australia for our House of Representatives since 1918, but we call it preferential voting. Seems to serve us well and there is more potential for independent and minor party representatives. As of our last federal election, our House of Reps consists of a governing 2 party coalition (78 members), an opposition (54 members) BUT there are also 12 Independents and 6 members from minor parties.
When I think of leaders, I see people like these,.
This is what our house and senate should look like. Get along,exchange ideas,views and agree to disagree. Then vote for what's in the best intrust of this country! Not the BS that's going on in the house now!
I AGREE!
Yes!
Jamie Raskin should run for president !!
Love him!
Jamie Raskin for President and Rep Crocket for Vice president.
Jamie Raskin is a communist
OMG ! Jamie Raskin is soooo spot on with everything he says !
But the fight against conservative people’s morals and family standards will only divide more This country lost when Dems began to force conservatives to hide in the shadows and force a new “anything go’s society”in the US that did not exist before
I love Jamie!
TRUMPISM Is a Mental Disease !!
Raskin amazes me no end. Right on.❤❤
States can decide abortion but states can't decide whether to keep a insurrectionist off the ballot? Wtf
😢
Disgustingly contrary to the meaning of the Constitution!!
Get rid of the electoral college.
I could not agree more.
Outstanding! One of the most quotable political discussions I’ve heard in years. Let’s hope enough swing voters are listening!
People also need to actually UNDERSTAND US history and Democracy.
Good point. I think it's been assumed that American students would be interested in history and government. It may need a punch up to engage folks. Hamilton was a good effort.
I also agree with Jamie Raskin.
I loved this. Three great representatives of our country's best spokesmen! I really had never heard much from Steve Isreal before. I am very well acquainted with Jamie Raskin and David Jolly and always enjoy their views! Thanks for this opportunity!
applauding all the way from Hong Kong. Thank you for the validation that there are good people on Capitol Hill
Hello, all the way from Hong Kong. Glad your here. These people are great and yes we look to them for truth. 😊😊🙏
10 out of five stars on this symposium ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Great conversation, thank you! Jamie is my absolute favourite. But David is a VERY close second. 😊❤💙💖💙💙💙☘ I hope & pray with all my heart that the US will vote BLUE in November. 🙏 Much love from Ireland. ☘
As a fellow Irishmen, all 4 grandparents 🍀 2 from Boston, 2 from Brooklyn.......
All veterans, a sheriff and a fireman besides service ❤️🇺🇲
Are you amazed that Americans, specifically Dem constituents, are COMFY COUCH sitters for the last 8 YEARS?
I'm anti war, anti neocon$, so I'm having an out of body experience, such as agreeing with kkkarl rove and HALIBURTON heiress, Ms Cheney.
Whether it's Congress, the DOJ, or SCOTUS, they keep chatting, "just vote"!
Never mind the Gerry meandering of hundreds of districts, voter suppression, dropping off names, saying mail in is fraudulent etc.
PLEASE don't build a Wall 🤭😜🤪😘🍀🇮🇪❤🇺🇲
Thank you Ireland. 😊😊🤗🙏😸🧚♂️🧚♂️🧚♂️🧚♀️🧚♀️🧚♀️🧝♀️🤗
😘👍❤☘
Thank you Jamie for trying to look ahead and protect us, the American people!
What a DELIGHTFUL discourse!! Intelligent articulate people of integrity and character graciously discussing what's so so important to save democracy in the US today. Just AWESOME! 😁👍👏👏👏
This panel was so Great! To hear these men use English correctly who are intelligent . Smart , educated and on the Right track especially in in raise taxes on billionaires. Stopping Trump he’s THE DESTROYER OF
Of our Democracy.
Putin has him on a string - putting puppet. #VoteBlue
I think DJT is despicable a weak man who thinks he’s above the law- he is foul man. A man running for his life who needs to be stopped !
This is the spirit we need so badly right now
Absolutely refreshing to hear intelligent conversation of such important issues. Thank you Gentlemen 👍💗
I am a Jamaican/Canadian, who has lived in the UK for over 10 yrs.
I have also lived in The Cayman Islands and in Bermuda.
If I was an American, there is NO way that I would be voting for Donald Trump, or the Republican Party.
Trump is truly a dangerous person, along with Putin, North Korea, China, Hamas in Palestine, and a great number of the Arab world.
I trust I am not in this world when this happens.
Prayers for Peace
So true a statement. Americans need to rid ourselves of the electoral college vote NOW!!! In a true democracy every vote is counted.
L Graham said trump would destroy the Republican Party, and they would deserve it. Truer words were never spoken.
Interesting & inspiring, restores your faith in America!!
With Rep. Jamin Reaskin on it, it would have to be at least great. He's so articulate, eloquent, bright, and knowledgeable about our laws and US Constitution.
Enlightening discussions for unity & saving democracy of America!!!❤
Excellent discussion. Gentlemen, thank you.
Great discussion!
Thank all of you for your democraticly based positions.
Moral center for all!!
This was a Awesome show!!
Very Informative and we all need to do our part to save
Our Great Country and Democracy 🇺🇸
Vote 💙 2024 up and down the Ballot!!!🇺🇸
And now you know why Jamie raskins get the Applause❤❤❤❤
Yes. Majority vote in America
Shared via threads ...this should have more views ...the bright light in this fight for democracy is Jamie Raskin ...
Love him!
You are giving me hope again. Thank you.
My instincts have been always been good about David Jolly. It is time to bring him aboard our Democratic Party.
My instincts were exactly the same. And YES! We 💙 100% need to fold him into our 💙fold and charm, cuddle, woo, tempt & hug him to smithereens. Shouldn't be too difficult. I'd volunteer. If I lived closer 😊 Seriously though... He's wonderful & Dems NEED him. 💙👍❤
Please keep this going on many platforms. So very important during this time. Democracy is at risk.
That was so worthwhile! We really need to reacquaint ourselves with the power and beauty and truly liberating potential of the American vision of democracy! 🗽🇺🇲
I only live in hope that the Supreme Court Justice's are all watching this conversation maybe I'll light a little candle and pray🙏🕯️Because these dudes need to get a reality check already!.. they are all for the Orange Jesus.Gid forgive them already!🔵🔵🔵🔵💙💙💙💙💙💙Blue all the way in November 2024💙💙💙💙💙
An addition to my previous very long comments. I have followed and learned SO much in the past years which not being American was sometimes confusing and complicated but essential in my mind so that I could really understand. I will give a shout out to Jamie Raskin and his battle, his intelligence and fighting strength. I would also like to mention Glenn Kirschner and Justice Matters as well as a few others who have kept me informed. When I heard the comment about Americans not following or getting into an election until after labor day I was shocked. Here I am following intently as this is probably the most important election and democracy is at stake! I hope people will get involved and don't not vote. To not vote because they are Republicans but don't want t rump to me is not a reason to stay home. Vote for the President who will work and continue to work for saving America and who really truly cares about it's people, not about himself. Yes I do mean Joe Biden and yes I am a liberal but even if I wasn't I would vote for the best for my country and that, in my humble opinion is certainly not a man who is only running to avoid facing trials and who wants to end democracy and worse...align with people like Putin. He does not care about people and all one has to do is listen to him lie and then lie again all the while not talking policy, not talking any sense even. Basically from what I've seen, he is using it aa a platform to tear down any decency...who would do that other than a person who doesn't know decency, kindness and humanity. I feel fear at the mere idea of him winning in Nov. fear for the USA and for the people.
I do agree with you as an independent. Don't stay home unless you want your country to become a Communism. Please get outand vote blue. Just this one the democracy of USA depend on it.
I hope more people read your inciteful and correct comments. ❤
@@YM-zz5qq Thank you!
Thank God for Americans like you ❤
This was an awesome panel and discussion! Thanks guys. I really loved it. Vote all the way Blue! 💙🇺🇸💯
I just recently came upon The 92nd Street Y about a week or so ago and I have watched different discussions and people from legal analysts to politicians as well as a few folks from MSNBC (who I watch often, despite not being an American). I have sat through probably 5 hours or more and at times will rewind to hear things a second time because they ring so true and are profound. I don't have the wits about me presently to articulate how more than important I feel this conversations are and have been. I will say that I am riveted, they are important, they are so civil and good human beings who can disagree ...as it should be...but ultimately they want what is best for the country, it's people and their freedom. THANK YOU for bringing these forums to us and I truly truly wish and hope more people will tune in and get a true picture of what is at stake. I have seen David Jolly often(always a delight) and of course Jamie Raskin. I don't know Steve Israel but I think I would like him. A bit of history to tell you WHY I am so engaged, perhaps more than I want to be, in Americans and the politics. I've never been a political 'junkie' until I heard, thought it was a joke, but heard in 2016 that the guy who is...ok, the former guy...was winning an election for the President of the USA But it was the 2020 election that I felt I had to be involved and learn and understand. I will never forget the moment I sat in front of the TV and saw the insurrection take place. I'll never forget the feeling I had and knew at that moment it was a different ally we had and a different 'world' than I knew. I have friends who are Americans and I care about people. I think what I ultimately hope and pray for (one of which I will not say) is justice and to eventually see civility and humanity return. I feel frustrated that everyone in the US doesn't read, listen and really truly be true to themselves. Wow, I guess I am on a tangent but bottom line, please keep these good guys in power and let their voices and words be heard!!! Really heard. Thank you so much to this panel, an intelligent articulate group who really truly care!
Very well said 👏 👍 👌 44:30
Totally agree! 🇨🇦
So true, vote blue!
David I think there's a Speaker of the House opening up soon.
We need our leaders to inspire people and give us strength and support. Just watching the news has been a profound struggle.... Thankyou gentlemen for all that you do. Do we need to end the Electoral College? Safety and security is an issue also. If you get death threats for changing your vote on a bill or labeled anti-republican... you struggle with fear... what a nightmare...
Great. Thanks to everyone. Please do another so informative interview.
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this, and how inspirational it was to watch
I just happened across this podcast and I saw Jamie Raskin’s name and decided to listen. I’m so glad I did! This is probably one of the best discussions I’ve heard in a long time. I’m incredibly impressed with David Jolly. How did he escape my radar for trying to also listen to the viewpoint of the other side. Lifelong Democrat but I will be watching for future conversations with him.
Excellent questions & conversation
Excellent. We need more of this
This is such an important topic that is necessary! I really didn’t see this coming to the USA to this extent! So scary!
Great show! Thanks for having these guest.
Enjoyed the discussion ❤❤❤❤
Love love this discussion. Thank you so much for this.
maybe David Jolly should run for President as a Democrat.
He already said he'd run as a Democrat if he runs again for office. Hope he does for house,or senate,seat. We need people who have seen both sides.
FANTASTIC!!!! DO MORE OF THESE!
OK. You won me over. I'll go for Jamie Raskin and David Jolly as co-presidents. 🥴 Seriously, I love both of them. Great solutions if we can get them passed into the Rule of Law. 🙏🏻🌊
Ten, amen! Excellent episode!
I agree with David Jolley
Great listen!
Can you imagine 4 Republicans right now sitting down and having a sane conversation like this?! No chance...
Thank you for bringing an open discussion concerning our democracy. My thought is about when do citizens learn about democracy as an alternative and what is democracy “for all.” Steve Israel expressed the interest of his young college students. I think the same interest will be found in high school aged and younger.
Wonderful discussion! I love, Mr. Raskin! Keep democracy strong, and mtg frustrated.
Great show, no one shouting.
And no name calling! That's such a relief!
You all have just given me renewed hope for Democracy. Thank you
He is a national treasure
I’m thankful that I found all of you tonight!!! Thank you all!!!
We need more civil , intelligent and meaningful discussions like this. Thank you.
Such an interesting, informative conversation! I have been a Democrat since I voted the first time for John Kennedy in 1960! So Thank you so much !
thank you all so much for giving me hope
Excellent, excellent, excellent !!
23:14 many large corporations are making HUGE profits, while at the same time paying their employees so poorly many full-time workers qualify for government aid. CEOs making millions a year dosen't make them more competitive overseas. Astronomical profits dosen't make them more competitive. Stealing from their employees and government subsidies might.
wow this is what the world needs to hear thank you
David Jolly really impressed me on this panel. I view him on MSNBC daily, but his comments today should be clipped and shared by MTN or Lincoln Project.
David Jolly has said it all !!! With people like him speaking loud and clear - in phrases - Americans will understand what is at stake.
Thank you all for this program. It's good to hear people with different views ,different party affiliations to speak civilly and exchange their opions!
Outstanding talk….3 very good men….Thank you all for fighting for our democracy ❤
As an Aussie trying to learn more about American politics I have to say that I found this presentation extremely informative. I enjoyed the manner with which these presenters discussed and acknowledged different views. This encourages listeners to perhaps revisit some oftheir ideas.
WOW! What an articulate discussion from each person. I would hope these comments get shared with as many voters as possible.
Thank you Jamie raskins for pointing out that this centrist, moderate, Politics as Usual just completely ignores the most marginalized and vilified human beings in America😢
This was wonderful and has given me real hope again that America and our democracy truly can survive because of citizens such as you three gentlemen. Townie krawcheck
I have so much respect for Jamie Raskin. He's one of the good ones. 🙂
I went to college to get a degree in politics, philosophy and law. It resulted in my not being the richest guy in the world but it taught me how to responsibly vote. Time well spent.
Excellent discussion. Thank you all for your insight and service.
Watched this from the UK as many of us are concerned about the implications worldwide about Trump getting back into power. I've always loved listening to Rasķin & Jolley but the whole debate was fantastic. Really informative and enjoyable to watch. Democracy is imperative and I do think Biden will win but it's going to be a very rocky road. ❤
I just stumbled upon this conversation it is like finding some kind of medicine for my soul...just listening is healing.
Thank You for your honesty while sharing.
What a fabulous panel and discussion. We need more of this, please! Thank you!
My huge thanks for this excellent and enlightening true discussion about the state of democracy in America! I am a Canadian who is deeply concerned about the obvious illness affecting the health of the USA infiltrating Canada!🍁👏
Legnthy but important to watch or at least listen to, as you go through.your day. This is worth sharing.
Excellent and informative. Thanks
Very, very interesting debate, with Intelligent gentlemen.
In 16th century in Scotland it was said ‘ all political authority belonged to the people, who came together to elect someone, whether a king or magistrates, to manage their affairs. The people were always more powerful than the rulers they created; and they were free to remove them at will’. Here was a powerful democratic formula - government of the people and for the people.
Thank you!
Wow great show, great questions, and super intelligent guests with great suggestions to help our country
Have any of you watched the fabulous PBS special about #45? It proves why he is who and what he is!!
Raskin for Pres!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When I saw Jamie Raskin pulling up Republicans in Congress, I knew he was the man, but I feel we have to Vote Blue this time around, to make sure healing has begun, then if Jamie Raskin is the Republican leader vote how you like, you will know good people are leading, unlike Trump and his criminal ways. Thank you this is what America needs, sanity!! 🙏🙏💙💙
Excellent 👌 thank you 🙏
CONGRATULATIONS EXCELLENT
This is such a phenomenal panel. We need to have more panels like this.
Worthwhile discussion. Thank you for presenting it. Special thanks for Jamie Raskin talking up rank choice voting a couple times, and for the digs on the Electoral College.
Intelligent conversation with no one saying “I’m the best.” “My polls is the best.” “I know more than anyone here.”
Yes, Jamie, I love you so much. Thank you for saying all the things that I scream at my TV every day.
Thanks for all of you on the panel.
These are beautiful moments when people can come together and talk. Reality.❤❤❤❤
Great conversation
Truth in political advertising would raise the bar
