Harris primary policy message was about the economy; child tax credit, first time home-buyer down payment, business tax credit, addressing price gouging. She talked about it EVERY time that she spoke. How could anyone say that she didn’t address the economy?
1) absolute crumbs in respect to the real problem. 2) it wasn’t her main focus, her main focus was to reassure republican that she wouldn’t do anything really impactful and reassure center-right democrats that her administration would represent continuity and no change. The working class in the Us has been facing gigantic problems for years, what you need is radical policies, not milquetoast soundbites that you’re probably going to renege after the election.
I am a white woman. I have known plenty of working-class white men. Since the 1970's. Of course, not all working class white men are bigots. But many of them are. The last people they will blame for their problems are rich white men who tear down women and minorities. They blame the women and minorities for their problems. There is no point in reaching out to them about economic justice. They don't really care. They are proud of their status even when they don't have enough money. But they are angry that all those other people are rising in status. Or so they think.
Right 💯 And also imagine how Bernie feels this man literally has dedicated his whole life to EQUALITY. Tensions are high right now some are still in the stages of grief of bargaining and blaming. We need to be patient and understanding of one another.
Was searching in the comments for this. Thank you. Glad I'm not the only one who noticed. Love his content but this is the attitude that needs to stop to enable us all to have difficult conversations and thus bring more folk into the fold instead of alienating them. Soon, Democrats will also need to appear on right wing platforms to say their piece...but there has to be a level of respect.

I think rural America is in for a shock. It’s just been announced that China is going to stop buying Soya from America and buy it from Brazil and Argentina. so now that Trump wants to put tariffs and stuff coming into America, this is about to get really bad
It's not shock that china would do that . remember they stop buying from the us when trump was in Office he, had to bail out the farmers .oh It's about to get really bad real soon .
According to the constitution, there's no law that says a president candidate with a criminal record can't run for office. I'm not defending it at all. I had to look it up, and the only way you can't run is for treason.
I make $24/hr, live in the cheapest housing possible, and still live paycheck to paycheck while my boss is going on vacations in Europe. Dude's not wrong.
Whose fault is it that you make $24 hr? Are people supposed to just give you a high paying job for just being alive. Be your own boss. Improve YOURself. Stop complaining.
@@Wolf_DeNoire Yes. Everyone should have guaranteed jobs that pay enough to live and not just survive. You’ll never be a billionaire, so stop defending them, they steal from the people.
Is it Kamala fault that you make $24.00 per hour. Kamala wanted to implement a type of cost control to manage increasing cost. What is Trump plan? What has Bernie done? He is a senator with a platform to use, and he waited until after the election to act like he has the answer. Kamala lost because she is a Blackwoman, and some White voters stayed home because of it.
Roland you’re proving their point!!! Your inability to LISTEN and hear Lauren out is exactly wat the Dem party does. When she doesn’t agree with Roland, he gets into “his feelings” and moves on to another commentator. Roland be PISSED when he feels the Dem party doesn’t listen to him but dang he doesn’t listen to his guests. I don’t want to hear a show where everyone is saying the same thing. If there’s other valid points I want to hear them without Roland being bombastic & yelling over his guests and not allowing them to finish their point bc he doesn’t agree with it. I like that Roland brings a perspective to our stories the regular new orgs don’t but the professionalism is lacking. Too often he gets too emotional when his guests doesn’t agree with him. I couldn’t tune in leading up to the election bc he kept doing this. I want to listen to black perspectives on politics bc we don’t hear them enough but I don’t want the guests disrespected. I listen to diverse perspectives so I listen to MSM as well. I don’t want the moderator to allow lies but it should be their job to allow diverse perspectives. Black ppl are not a monolith in our thinking. Not listening and these EGOs are why we are here. Roland disrespected Lauren by yelling over her and disregarding her points bc he’s emotional about Sanders. Sick of ppl disrespecting Black women & not listening. This is EGO and I’m not sure he sees it. If someone with emotional regulation and respect for their guests starts a similar platform they will grow exponentially. Roland may be limiting his own growth. I don’t want my news to seem like a soft version of reality tv. Roland please go back & look at your tapes so you can continue to improve. We need voices like yours but I need the emotional regulation too!!!
Damn, Could he let that sister speak?? She had valid points. The establishment did let those pacs steam roll them out of office for speaking up on Gaza. For goodness sake’s they ran Nina Turner off the road 3 times. Bernie wasn’t wrong.
The voters are going to really have to start taking responsibility. They overlook infrastructure and student loan forgiveness for a party that ignored the first and blocked the second. Democrat insulin cap and plans to cap more medicine were ignored for a man who got a union buster to support his campaign. Bernie was wrong.
@lshaw250ify Thank you!! Let ppl finish their thoughts. This is one of the biggest problems I have with him. No one on the panel interrupts him when he's talking so give them the same respect then you won't have to raise your voice or cut them off when you want to be heard! Works my last nerves!!
You hit it on the mark. That is why I unsubsidized. So many youtubers tell you it's their channel and they can do what they want. Well I don't have to help you by subscribing.
Roland allegedly provided advance copy of debate questions to HRC while at CNN which led to his firing. Let’s not pretend CNN doesn’t do the same thing with its guests.
Bernie's Not Wrong . Roland is upset over Nothing. He needs to Bring Rev. Barbour on, and explain how the Dems ignored 20 Million rural and low income folks.
@@Dondexta I disagree. Kamala’s plans would’ve helped those people. Donald Trump gave them nothing! He gave them absolutely nothing except to tap into their grievances about immigrants. They don’t realize that he’s going to end up hurting them a lot more than they’re currently suffering. 🤷🏾♀️
Lauren was 100% correct but because she didn’t agree w/ Roland he interrupts & yells over his guest. People say this in the comments all the time but Roland too arrogant to ever change. I absolutely hate that about him.
Roland I understand you are upset , we all are. However you need to speak to your guest respectfully. You can disagree and not yell and scream and cut others off. Part of being an adult is knowing how to control your emotions. Roland respectfully do better

I’m sorry Roland…. This was difficult for your audience to watch. The poor sister in the red had a point, but you refused to JUST LISTEN. Even if you disagree, allow her to conclude her statement, then refute it. My goodness… Where’s the professionalism?
Why isn't anyone talking about Trump telling his supporters very early on that he had all the votes he needed and that they didn't need to vote. That led me to wonder if something nefarious went on with the election. We should all question the authenticity of this election.
Its like theyre all moving on. ElectionWashing trump, while we little people feel and watched it happen. Biden has powers, I wish dems had a spine sometimes.
@ksteel7284 how come he knew before the counting finishes, fox all decided he's the winner, men have so much power that they literally control people mind ,bash and trashing women, we allowing this sort of behavior ,they nor concern about mental health issues ,I am not a American, I cringe by the insults thrown at Vice president, she's someone wife, sister, daughter,aunt and frind ,for GOD sake plese save America
Yeah the more I think about the results the more something seems up here. I refuse to believe Trump won thr popular vote. His approval rating his entire presidency never cracked 40%. You're telling me he won all the swing states AND the popular vote while running the worst campaign imaginable? Bullshit. Trump did absolutely nothing to earn that win and yet he win overwhelmingly. This is a problem if there was actually fraud involved. It means these people have the ability to do it again next time. Trump is too stupid to be subtle so he perhaps gave the game away when he made some of those weird statements about not having to vote again.
@revolutionary minded8842. A lot of the people that flipped to Trump's side accused the Democratic party of being too left. Supporting transports, social justice issues, etc. I don't think going full on socialism was going to change the outcome.
The pendulum has swung, as it has done many times before. Welcome to the Conservative Era. But when people start realizing that this trickle down, tariff crap isn't going to work for them or the economy, because its impossible for Trump to serve two masters at the same time; corporations and the working class. Because they're on opposite sides of the spectrum. People will catch on and realize that they were lied to.
@@Tymykalthe economy was better under Trump and democrats the establishment genius spent more time coddling war criminals Cheney Bush than offering policies that Americans want.

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

@@pauobunyon9791 Well when your "fire-spirit" is running around like a chicken with its head cut off, then perhaps that "fire-spirit" needs to be a bit more organized and thoughtful.
This is why I don't watch Roland. He makes some good points but let other people speak and just listen. I mean its your show nobody can take it from you so treat your guest like guest and hear them out. The conversation is more interesting that way. The other thing is if you're wrong just say ok I understand where you're coming from and move on. He sticks to a point until people are just quite or say very little.
Invite Sanders on your show and let him speak for himself! He is a tireless advocate for the poor. He is like no other politician. Calm down, Roland, Sanders gets virtually no coverage in the press.
@@mwhite212 What's your problem Mr icon man? Incapable of expressing yourself with words? Certainly, if you tried, you would find out that there is no there there. (To paraphrase your buddy Bill Clinton...)
Oh I'm absolutely going to blame them for being incredibly dumb if y'all knew that white people were sexist and racist then why would you select a black female as your candidate seems like a losing strategy that you just keep doubling down on which is fine with me it makes it easier for my party to win the election just saying identity politics is not faring too well for y'all but you just keep doing it it's like a disease you just can't stop
Roland is doing exactly what he has always done and so has the Dems and thats the problem, they don't learn from their mistakes, blaming everyone but themselves
Roland too forgets that Bernie did speak to a multi-racial coalition that was invested in the working places Also Roland needs to stop yelling at Lauren. She's a voice of sanity by comparison to Roland.
Roland, SERIOUSLY, Clam the HELL DOWN AND "LISTEN". THIS IS THE PROBLEM! Stop Dictating to people HOW they should THINK and INTERPRET things! ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS WHY WE LOST.
Roland is an establishment plant and he's mad that a white man that has had a consistent message for the last 40 years is popular with black people. Dr. William Barber and Bernie Sanders are allies, but Roland is playing identity politics against Bernie and he would rather see a black face in charge even if the black face is a neoliberal that campaigns with Dick and Liz Cheney. It's truly unbelievable. Any time truth comes out he interrupts his guests.
Roland, Roland, Roland. You talk about uplifting Black folks yet you're over talking your Black guests. Bernie isnt wrong and y'all know it. Roland is mad because he's one of those Democrats that Bernie is talking about...Roland isn't apart of the working class. Man shut up all that loud talking.
Roland is obnoxious, and enjoys playing the victim card. I used to be on the Democratic train wreck only thing they whine about is race, and sexuality to get Black voters. The same immigrants they will bend backwards for voted red bcos even they see how phony and crazy the Democrats are.
Dude do your research the Democrats have save this economy of the past 30 yrs. Just do your research and see when the country prospered. The GOP will create a new disaster but you will be hit harder then anyone because you are the first fired.
Roland is correct, the working class would have made big gain with Kamala’s plan, right now they will pay more taxes under Trump’s plan. There are a few channels that break down the plans and u can see them. They voted against their own interest they just don’t know it.
Roland is so emotional, he doesn't even let you finish your argument. I wouldn't even recommend debating him on his platform. Let people TALK. You sound like a Fox News anchor on the left.
I have to agree with Sanders on this. The DNC is abandoning all the working class. Roland is incorrect here and as long as the DNC does not see the issue that Bernie has been pointing out for years then they will continue to have issue.
While it's true that both the DNC and RNC are corporately backed and by wealthy ppl. The stark difference is that only one group has programs and support to the middle class and poor, who actually make up more of the US population than the 1% who are super wealthy. The middle class pays the most taxes and those taxes go to support the poor and the programs that keep them afloat. Repubs are for the wealthy. But the yt poors keep voting for Repubs who run their states. The poorest states in the country are run by Repubs and keep them poor, and those poor yt ppl keep voting for them consistently. Bernie needs to talk to that group and ask them why they continuall do that. They get the most abortions, welfare, and use social programs the most. Thus, Bernie talk to them and ask they why they keep doing that!
Bernie Sanders’s initials is BS for a reason. Trump said everything stupid he could think of, him and his followers did everything they could to leave out as many people as possible, he went on record as saying the Biden administration wasn’t doing enough for Israel and if he loss the Jewish community was the reason, he never came up with a working class agenda in his first go round or now, etc. Read any history book and look at the stats of what two demographics voted for him over 70% and 75%, then the reason he won is right in your face.
So when the Dems saved the pensions for the teamsters that’s nothings? Stop the games and be real the Dems are a coalition political party in a center right county while being an international superpower with nukes… can they do better? Yes but only if they’re in the majority and voted in by voters who expect voting once every 4 years to solve these issues.
I don't think Hispanic working class men voted for Trump due to racism. They've been suffering under this economy and Kamala should have been speaking more to them.
@tocktick20 both sides are anti black and so are millions of blacks. God cannot use people who look down on the skin color He gave them. Not pride but having a sound mind. 2 Corinthians 11:20
Roland is correct,though.Poor and working class whytes do typically vote against their interests so they don't align with poor and working class black people.That's a historical fact.
I was about to say. Does Roland acknowledge the fact that 1) Trump got a disproportionate number of votes from disaffected minorities, and 2) He got fewer votes than his last election, but Kamala lost even more votes than him? As much as people voted for him, far many more chose not to vote or didn't find Kamala, and her campaign could never reach out to the voters Trump got, but Sanders did back in 2016 Edit: I haven't seen the video, and won't till I know he acknowledged this, otherwise I don't like this attitude of "go talk to the white folks, old white man" schtick
Rollin Martin is a prime example of what narcissism looks like. If you continue to follow this you will always lose. Everyone isn't going to have the same opinion as you.
Encouraging US based corporations to bring their manufacturing back to the US and convincing foreign corps to have their products made here so they can dodge his tariffs.
We know what that lady is talking about . We’re tired of being ignored. Face the fact Mr. Martin. Democrats have better start listening. Hate politics doesn’t work anymore.
What policies? Did she have anything that wasn't means tested Republican lite rhetoric? If you're talking about "tax credits," get real. People got excited when she talked about stopping price gouging and then the donors got mad and she quit talking about it!
Her messaging wasn't effectively getting out. From talking to alot of nonvoters, or Trumpers. The message they got was , Trump=Bad, and restoring Abortion Rights. There is a messaging problem in the Democrat Party. This is something the Democrat Party have admitted they have a problem with for years. Much of this is to Conservative News Bias, but I think it is a bit more complicated now as I think many people who don't view themselves as Conservative and choose not to view Conservative biased articles/shows are getting news from Social Media sources some of which are Left Wing Grift sources.
@@wesleystreet She never stopped talking about price gouging she even covered it in her closing statements. Y’all stopped listening because she is a woman who is highly qualified. Misogyny in the black community is going to be the black race’s downfall. To think that a black man would choose a racist, misogynistic, con man with 34 felonies who discriminated against black people for president even after he said he would grant amnesty to the insurrectionist and give qualified immunity to the police is jaw dropping. Our ancestors are rolling in their graves.

@@darrelledison7180 yes...I did listen. I didn't agree with the way Bernie directed his frustrations. He should have stated 1st what the Biden administration HAS accomplished for us...the working people! 1) supporting unions & collective bargaining. 2) TRYING to dismiss student debt. 3) raising the minimum wage for federal workers. 4) saving pension money from Wallstreet. People forget...JOE MANCHIN was a NO VOTE. And Kristen Sinema. And go figure they left the Democrat Party for their rich donors. Money over their constituents. Abolish Citizens United. That would be a great subject for Roland Martin...who I trust & admire! We're in this together. ✌🏼 p.s. wtf has the Republican party done for ..we the people? Lies,hate & fear mongering. And they watch Fox propaganda.
I am sick of dumb voters falling for bs of Bernie. Bernie is all talk and has had decades and done nothing. He is lying and he knows Biden/Harris did quite a bit in 4 years. Roland was right to call him out for it. Hate the yelling. It is not the messaging. Roland is right to show how red states continue to vote against their interest even when the Dems gave them the policy. Roland is right to call BS on his bs about not getting out there to communicate the successes and where more needs to be done. BS is pro-white and that's something he has constantly said while he presses down on his lie that it is economics which has been proved wrong soooo many times. These red states continue to vote red. Start watching those states complain while voting for the same ppl at the state and fed level as they pass laws that make their way of life destroyed. The montana homeless watched the laws passed by gop in 2024 and still said its dems and immigrants fault and did now want the reporter to call him out on his vote for the same ppl. I know dnc/dems dixiecrats need to change but so does BS Bernie is just as much establishment as the rest.
One thing the trolls kept saying about Harris is that she kept starting every interview with "I came from a middle class family"...my mother wasn't able to buy her first home until I turned 13)..plus she always ended with "...not just to get by, but to get ahead" so her messaging was clear about the economy and working class. Even the trolls knew.
My parents both worked when I was growing up and they couldn't afford a home until they retired years after I was married and used part of my father's pension for a down payment. I always thought we were middle class but I guess not.

@@LaureleiJummm hello thank you, that’s what I said. She tried to change the conversation and was rolling her eyes. It was rude of her to keep interrupting him.
She kept interrupting him, it’s rude to not let someone finish what they’re saying. He said hold on many times, like she didn’t want to hear that. She started talking about something else, how the hell she gone take over his show
Also the democrats did not pass the $15 minimum wage and the public option. Again I'm a Democrat and voted for Kamala and blue all the way down the ticket. I align with Bernie Sanders values.
Bernie Sanders was right, Roland is a clown for this one. You just as bad as Jaime Harrison, who by the way lost his election to Lindsey Graham. Black people would agree with Bernie policies over y'all centrist bs.
He's always doing that. Loud, rude and dismissive of other people's POV. He knows his stuff and provides great news pieces i don't see anywhere else but damn.
@De_Sava no he just didn't like the points she was making about Kamala's messaging vs Bernie's unspecifc scolding of what we know to be true about dems
I thought Kamala did talk about the economy and making it better when she said she was going after price gouging, giving people money for housing giving parents 6000 dollars in the first year of the their kids life. These are ways to help working class and the economy. So she did speak on it on several times. They need to stop blaming democrats, stop ignoring race and blame those that voted for Trump. They should have known better. Trump showed them that he doesn’t care about anyone but himself, including the working class, is guilty of 34 felons, is a racist, a rapist, said he was gonna be a dictator, said he was gonna help his rich friends and not the rest of us. Etc. Yet, they ignored that. This is all about them wanting power, being ignorant or thinking if they side with white supremacy even if they are not white, they are safe. Frustrating.
@@missy8758 she stopped talking about price gouging corporations. That should have been central to her campaign, she was campaigning with Liz Cheney, that killed any momentum she had. Yes she had good policies but if people don’t hear it, it means nothing. Democrats and the media accept republican framing. It’s time to fire the consultants and strategists who lost to Trump but filled their pockets.
Exactly right. So tired of people not holding ignorant voters to account. Those who voted Trump or stayed home are responsible for Trump being elected.
Preventing price gouging is important during emergencies like covid, hurricanes etc. It does not help, however, if the normal prices are way too high. Prices have gone up 20% in the last four years. People's paychecks have not. And for the people who cannot afford to own a home, the down-payment assistance is not helpful. There are many people who also don't have kids.
And yet there are many people, like myself, who are in dire financial situations. I am childless, I cannot afford a house, and even without price gouging, groceries have nearly doubled from what I was paying a few years ago. My rent had gone up $400 dollars a month in one year and recently I have been laid off. Once unemployment runs out, I'm probably going to live with my family so I can get back on my feet. If I didn't have that, I'd be homeless. Additionally, she had no plan to overhaul our Healthcare system. She rejected and distanced herself from Medicare for All as soon as she was nominated. So I think it all boils down to how she was speaking about it. And also how substantive here policies actually were.
She said that for each of her flip flops, her values haven't changed. I didn't see a replacement for Medicare for All? She not once mentioned that Healthcare should be a right to all citizens regardless of financial situation. I still voted for her. But was I impressed or optimistic after hearing her economic proposals? Absolutely not. It felt like she was putting tiny band-aids on a gaping wound and calling it a day. Unfortunately, that is typical with both parties and I think we're going to continue to see the American people being discontent with our economic situation until the core issues are addressed. And I think that's why Bernie resonates so well with people. He actually addressed the root of the problem.
These poor white folks will vote for their complexion. The “landowners” knew it and they know it now. That’s why Trump did not have to campaign on economics. He campaign on the fear of losing whiteness and power.
50% of 60% percent of the voters that voted is not half the country. Kamala ran on an economic message, democracy, and rights and Trump ran on people trying to change your children trans at school and deport legal and illegal immigrants and he won (many of the people who voted for him voted for their own demise. I don't know what there is to listen to when they voted for the opposite of what they say they want (and didn't take any time to compare real issues). Working class yts voted for Trump but down ballot Democrats in NC who ran on the same message as Harris, we got to talk about race in this country and stop coddling yt people. The trans ads worked too well on wc Latino men and the 20% percent of black men. Economic policies didn't have anything to do with it.
Explain the math? They wont vote for Democrats because Democrats won’t cater enough to them. However they will continue to or increasingly vote for republicans regardless of how much it hurts them? If they didn’t vote that would make sense, what’s the sense in voting for Republicans?
Roland can you SHUT UP and stop cutting people off this is not about what you think you asked the lady for an answer and you kept cutting her off and attacking her for her comment typical male chauvinist misogynistic attitude!
Roland you are wrong on this bernie has been talking about the establishment gettin all the money and not the ppl who pay their taxes....it doesn't matter white black or blue..if you broke you broke... where the hell are the policies???
Bernie ran for president, and he delivered that same message to the voters, but it didn't help him get the nomination. Therfore that was not the reason for the white community that didn't vote for Harris. If it was their main concern they would have voted for Bernie. Race and gender are the reasons that Harris lost. .
And WTH has Bernie Sanders actually done for the working middle class other than run his mouth now is not the time to Monday morning quarterback because he also campaigned for the VPs policies so let's see him stand up to Trump and his cronies.
Yea he does. I’m usually turned off by it but I’m with him this time! He is 100% right. None of what Bernie is saying makes sense when the other party promised you nothing!
@RP.123 Why are the other people there? If he will not allow them to complete a thought put into a point being made. Regardless of whether he's correct or not, there's an audience watching. Some of us want to hear more than him, and again shouting over that sister I felt was very rude.
@darrelledison7180 Regardless of if he's right, he shouldn't be shouting and overtalking other panelists. Allow them to speak in full whether you're correct or not. It becomes one-sided when he does that.
@donewittit6607 It's his show if you can't understand him being passionate and speaking out when he knows the facts you can always watch something else.
Roland is right on one thing here folks, Sanders is incapable of addressing real concerns when he ignores uncomfortable facts. bernie can’t handle that racism plays some part in this issue with worker solidarity. Bernies white voter numbers plummeted in the 2020 primary run he made, after white working class said that sanders wasn’t doing enough to appeal to them, and had way too many black and brown workers in his coalition Furthermore how come Bernie never points out the polling that shows that white working class think black people are a coddled class that have way too much, and that it is whites who are more poverty stricken? maybe that’s why they will side with anti union, anti worker politicians and policies on the right? No other reason to vote against your own interest unless you think people you don't think deserve benefits are getting them... Cause yeah how come bernie never points out why white working class side with anti union, anti worker policies and politicians whenever they talk about affirmative action and black workers being involved or getting a slice of the pie? Why does bernie never mention the unions that get caught undermining black/minority workers cause the white union members don't want black, brown and asian members in the coalition? all of these are real things that occur and disprove the notion that the working class are all united in solidarity it’s a fact that polls, and studies show white working class will be against welfare, and or workers benefits if they think black and brown workers will have access as well
The guests are missing the point. Everybody is missing the point. Kamala lost the election because Trump ran a racist campaign which convinced White people to vote against their interests. The Republican party has done this in the past.

So democrats who outlined a plan for housing and small business help, the ACA keeping older folks in their homes including vision, hearing and capping prescription meds ignoring the working class? The Republicans have no plan at all for poor people but to further gouge them and to help the billionaire class.
Her policies which she stated multiple times were for the better of the working class. Union is working class, she has so many union guys at her rallies. If they didn’t get the message it’s cause they had their eyes closed.

Because he was on board to make sure that 🍊🤠💩 never entered the White House ever again. Well, when the Democratic party couldn't make that happen, Bernie's B-A-C-K. it's as simple as that ...
Sanders lost in South Carolina and every southern state. He was not known in the south where most primary voters resides. It is impossible to win democratic primaries without southern voters. Sanders barely won Iowa, was viable in states outside the south. All democratic candidates has to be viable in the south where the population is more diverse. He lost every southern state to President Biden mainly because of the black vote which did not know Sanders at all. No it was not stolen he lost heavily.
Then why did he lose white working class voters in the 2020 run? look it up, his numbers with white working class dropped at the same time his support with black and brown supporters went up hmmm... seems like a coincidence no?
Bernie is wrong because what he said was totally one sided and way too skewed. Of coures Dems should be more concerned with working class than they are. But they should be doing many other things better too. How about climate change? Do working class care about climate change? How about racism? BLM? Do working class care about that?
@dadama925 All losers politically. Hence the loss. Bernie said what is obvious. The real issue is that Bernie said Biden and Harris were super progressive a week ago. And we all know that is BS. His new statement is obvious truth. He just has little credibility. Harris told a grass roots oriented Kennedy to kick rocks and then she clinges to a warmongering Cheney. We need more Bernie type confessions. These are politicians not your grandma. No kids gloves, just cold analysis is needed.
Roland, i respect your views, but don't yell at your guests and let them speak. once they are done, disagree peacefully, and give your views calmly. Respect them. I agree that Kamala did her best to give out economic policies and she had plans for the working class... but every time that she did, with specific details, people either tuned out (because they, secretly, didn't WANT to hear it) or they flat out, ignored it. and here, i am going to cut and paste a statement from a woman who posted this comment on youtube, after the election: 'I'm a 60 -yr old white woman in Ohio. I voted for Harris. I never voted for Trump. It's simply racism, and because she's a woman.' it's really as simple as that. People who complain about the Harris campaign being flawed for overlooking the working class is ludicrous. people were just looking for an excuse not to vote for her. and if economics did have something to do with her not getting elected, it was more like she was suffering from the mistakes of previous regimes. but i don't see how Republicans are any better than them. i think both parties fail in that regard.
America was told for 3 years that their president wasn’t too old and was capable of doing his job. The debate showed that was a flat out lie. Prior to Harris running, she had very poor popularity, yet as soon as Biden stepped back, over night Harris was this incredibly popular sensation. That strategy is going to work for people who are democrats, but for the undecided voters, it’s almost offensive how much they were trying to gaslight the nation. I think results from yesterday in the swing states reflect that.She ran a dogshit campaign and the Dems thought it a good idea to run one of the single most unpopular candidates imaginable. Can't be shocked this happened at all. Kamala was never going to win over the key demos that she needed to because it's like she didn't even fucking try to.
@@redwanur i disagree with you that she ran a dogshit campaign. if that's what you believe, then fine, and i respect that, but please respect that i have the right to disagree with you. i think she did the best anyone could do for a 100-day campaign, and beyond. Part of the reason she was not popular was due to the reasons that i specified already. she was the first VP who was a woman of color. immediately, there was going to be backlash and disfavor to those who did not want to see that. no, it cannot be denied, no matter how much you prefer to believe otherwise. I disagree that she didn't try to win over the key demos. i believe she TRIED very much. Another part of the reason that sprung her lack of popularity was also due to the previous regime doing everything in their power to belittle the present elected officials. Trump spent all 4 years of Biden's presidency bashing him and Kamala, instead of letting them have their time as president and VP. that constant haranguing was bitter, awful, and had a lasting effect. He poisoned their time, out of his own disgusting need to not accept a defeat. and if you expected her to just give up/give into that, no! you don't response to hate by crawling away. you gotta stand your ground, and keep going. I admit that it would have been better that Biden (who did his best when he inherited a shitshow once getting into office) had stepped down sooner, but her lack of popularity stemmed from three things: racism, sexism, and defamation spread through disinformation and hate speech. you shouldn't crawl away from bullies, like Trump. you have to at least, try and stand up to them. She did that. for that, i appreciate it. and was she doomed from the very beginning. Yes. but i don't blame her. i blame the society that we are in, and the circumstances that tore her down. if we Americans could not see that she was the better candidate, because of, as you put it 'gaslighting', that's our failure, not hers. third, hatred of her is your choice, but it was ill-founded. She did the role of VP, and did it precisely what was her job to do. Especially since VPs are rarely heard about during presidencies. they do not control policy, but support the current cabinet and take the President's place, if something were to happen. her stepping in, after Biden stepped down, was the logical choice. Was i aware that the cards were stacked against her? yes. That's what happens whenever you are the first woman/woman of color to do something. failure always occurs. but the fact that she got that many votes, despite it all... is miraculous. And what of her actual actions, that you rail against? In her time as the VP, what about her time that she spent overseas as an ambassador? what of actual duties that she performed that you consider terrible? please give me actual moments of her time as VP that you disliked? Like please give me particular examples. Because, if not, it adds to another argument that a youtuber said is the main reason that people did not vote for her: People really have no idea what the hell is going on.
@@Ammirah28No he's right and they will keep losing. Hillary won more votes so how is it a sex thing and Obama won being black? Stop the excuses and listen to the issues.
@kevinhanson6106 No they don't man stop making excuses Hillary one more votes than Donald the last time, the black people turnout was not there whatsoever with her.

@@ericschultz6539 What a load of crap. BS got in bed with the far right and still does. His big tent included the far right. His ilk over there at TYT where Ana K supports far right and is standing up for Trump. The reason i started calling them fauxgressives is just that the phony hypocrisy when they embrace the far right and call it evolving. There are anti-trump ppl and gop who do not like the direction of the gop and Bernie nor most Dems are not the ppl to speak to them. That is is why Liz was put on the trail to get to those deep red states. Who do you think could speak to them. Oh wait, you think they should not have been talked to. Some of them are those very ppl that Lauren is talking about, they are not all wealthy. Be honest, they would not have listened to Bernie. I don't agree with the Liz move but Bernie and his divisive ways is not the way either and he know his trickle down yt boy politics and theory is not right. btw, the dems did speak to many of their interests and passed several bills. Roland is right to call that out. Many of those states/cities now know their gop candidate voted against many of those policies then took credit for it. They voted for the white gop. BS needs to listen too. He is establishment too and will not listen either. Bernie will no more work with Dems (but will take their $$) any more than Dems will work with him. It's why he should go just as much as tired dixiecrat dems.
Black Fragility on display, stop it! Roland you're smart and I agree with you most times. What Bernie said was not controversial. You can't go to work for 40 to 50 hours a week and still live paycheck to paycheck. That's what he was speaking to. A bad economy subscribes to no party.

Roland's problem with Bernie is that he is a white man leading the movement. Bernie's message has been consistent for 40 years. Roland wants a black face to lead the movement even if it's a neoliberal like Kamala. He used identity politics against Bernie to make his argument.
Ever since Roland started shilling for the establishment Democrats instead of the progressives, he has gone downhill, in my opinion. Bernie is the only one who tells the truth and tries to get shit done. Roland is good with teaching history and going after horrible people but he's going after the wrong one
About half of white votors are never going to vote for the democratic party. Mostly because of race or sexism or guns or energy policy or religion. But they are only about 25% of the country’s population. The other half of the white population knows that their economic problems require the same sorts of solutions that will also uplift people of color. These white people will gladly unite with minority voters to vote for any candidate that they think is authentic and will actually fight for people instead of corporations. Many hispanics too understand this. Hispanics overwhelmingly supported Obama and Mexico currently has a female president. But as long as the democratic party spends its time courting corporate donors and campaigning with the Cheneys and refusing to raise wages, refusing to take on insurance companies, banks, pharmaceutical companies, etc, then the democratic party will have no credibility with poor and middle class voters. Race and sexism is a problem but credibility is a far bigger problem in my opinion.
Democrats have taken on all of those entities. The democrats are fighting high drug prices, the dems are the ones that created the CFPB which polices financial entities, dems are fighting to increase wages and make the wealthy pay more of their share of taxes. Republicans are trying to overturn all of these things or are trying to keep anything from changing and the majority of white voters said “yeah! That’s what I want!” Make it make sense! And Latino men, most of whom identify as white by the way, jumped at that shit too.
@@abti7766 They're 100% correct and you need to start talking to swing voters. You can't save the racist base of the Republicans but you can convince the swing voter who votes solely on economics.
I'm not sure why they're so mad at Sanders. Blue no matter who people didn't learn in 16 and it seems like they don't want to learn now. Also, the short haired chick twisted his words, he never said abandon everything besides economic stuff. He's very anti-war and got arrested protesting segregation... it's dumb to treat one of the few non-bribed politicians like an enemy.
I would never forget what the establishment Dems did to him. He was winning every state in the 2016 primary when they effed him over for Clinton now look what happened. AGAIN!!!
@colinsparman26 me too, I usually go to another show when he does that. Same with morning Joe, can't watch him much when he cuts off his wife or guests.
I agree with bernie i voted for democrats but us working class people have been abandoned and corporate greed isn't going to be taken care of anytime soon
Y'all sound stupid as hell well guess what Trump and his homies own the corporations so you think the greed is going to stop by voting for Trump hell nah!!!!! Trump has no plans for working class and he made no promises at all period!!!
You can't help people that won't vote for you.The Democrats party need to find new voters .Stop trying to convince racist white people that will never vote for them to vote for them .
Cause and effect. Young(er) white men supported Trump by a large amount, and they somehow decided to go vote. Do you think that was because Dems abandoned the working class? Every time you lose, you have to make major changes? The last I looked, Trump lost in 2020 and did not make any changes other than becoming more extreme.
Harris primary policy message was about the economy; child tax credit, first time home-buyer down payment, business tax credit, addressing price gouging. She talked about it EVERY time that she spoke. How could anyone say that she didn’t address the economy?
Yep, it’s ridiculous.
It puzzles me. Incomprehensible!
she couldnt overcome racism sexism
She didn't send checks with her name on them tho.
1) absolute crumbs in respect to the real problem. 2) it wasn’t her main focus, her main focus was to reassure republican that she wouldn’t do anything really impactful and reassure center-right democrats that her administration would represent continuity and no change.
The working class in the Us has been facing gigantic problems for years, what you need is radical policies, not milquetoast soundbites that you’re probably going to renege after the election.
I am a white woman. I have known plenty of working-class white men. Since the 1970's. Of course, not all working class white men are bigots. But many of them are. The last people they will blame for their problems are rich white men who tear down women and minorities. They blame the women and minorities for their problems. There is no point in reaching out to them about economic justice. They don't really care. They are proud of their status even when they don't have enough money. But they are angry that all those other people are rising in status. Or so they think.

Is it Kamala fault that you make $24.00 per hour. Kamala wanted to implement a type of cost control to manage increasing cost. What is Trump plan? What has Bernie done? He is a senator with a platform to use, and he waited until after the election to act like he has the answer. Kamala lost because she is a Blackwoman, and some White voters stayed home because of it.
Roland you’re proving their point!!! Your inability to LISTEN and hear Lauren out is exactly wat the Dem party does. When she doesn’t agree with Roland, he gets into “his feelings” and moves on to another commentator. Roland be PISSED when he feels the Dem party doesn’t listen to him but dang he doesn’t listen to his guests.
I don’t want to hear a show where everyone is saying the same thing. If there’s other valid points I want to hear them without Roland being bombastic & yelling over his guests and not allowing them to finish their point bc he doesn’t agree with it.
I like that Roland brings a perspective to our stories the regular new orgs don’t but the professionalism is lacking. Too often he gets too emotional when his guests doesn’t agree with him. I couldn’t tune in leading up to the election bc he kept doing this. I want to listen to black perspectives on politics bc we don’t hear them enough but I don’t want the guests disrespected.
I listen to diverse perspectives so I listen to MSM as well. I don’t want the moderator to allow lies but it should be their job to allow diverse perspectives. Black ppl are not a monolith in our thinking. Not listening and these EGOs are why we are here.
Roland disrespected Lauren by yelling over her and disregarding her points bc he’s emotional about Sanders. Sick of ppl disrespecting Black women & not listening. This is EGO and I’m not sure he sees it. If someone with emotional regulation and respect for their guests starts a similar platform they will grow exponentially. Roland may be limiting his own growth. I don’t want my news to seem like a soft version of reality tv. Roland please go back & look at your tapes so you can continue to improve. We need voices like yours but I need the emotional regulation too!!!

Yeah the more I think about the results the more something seems up here. I refuse to believe Trump won thr popular vote. His approval rating his entire presidency never cracked 40%. You're telling me he won all the swing states AND the popular vote while running the worst campaign imaginable? Bullshit. Trump did absolutely nothing to earn that win and yet he win overwhelmingly. This is a problem if there was actually fraud involved. It means these people have the ability to do it again next time. Trump is too stupid to be subtle so he perhaps gave the game away when he made some of those weird statements about not having to vote again.
He right. Stop hating on Bernie. This is where yall lose me
Bernie is out of line. What did republicans ever offer workers. Look at Kamala policies and then look at Donnie’s. No comparison
@revolutionary minded8842. A lot of the people that flipped to Trump's side accused the Democratic party of being too left. Supporting transports, social justice issues, etc. I don't think going full on socialism was going to change the outcome.
The pendulum has swung, as it has done many times before. Welcome to the Conservative Era. But when people start realizing that this trickle down, tariff crap isn't going to work for them or the economy, because its impossible for Trump to serve two masters at the same time; corporations and the working class. Because they're on opposite sides of the spectrum. People will catch on and realize that they were lied to.

Bernie is wrong. Did trump do anything for the working class when he was in power? Too many stupid Americans exists!
Why is Roland always screaming! We can't even hear the intelligent sister speak 😮
That’s because he’s sassy and gets scared when being confronted in person.
He has a lot of feminine energy
Because he is a clown
Because he knows he failed to deliver black people to the polls. His way back to national media is over
You can pass legislation all day long but when it takes 2 or more years to implement, you're not addressing the immediacy of their situations!

I wish he would read the damn comments. It makes ppl not want to support him. Me, I'm ppl.
@Cinabean Thank you
Unfortunately, it works so far with his 1.5 million subscribers.
This is why I don't watch Roland. He makes some good points but let other people speak and just listen. I mean its your show nobody can take it from you so treat your guest like guest and hear them out. The conversation is more interesting that way. The other thing is if you're wrong just say ok I understand where you're coming from and move on. He sticks to a point until people are just quite or say very little.
@damonjacobs9051 Totally agree. You're spot on. If only he would read these comments and take heed.
Invite Sanders on your show and let him speak for himself! He is a tireless advocate for the poor. He is like no other politician. Calm down, Roland, Sanders gets virtually no coverage in the press.

That’s such a tired lie
he is so annoying. Is there a way to completely block channels on yt other than "Don't recommend channel". I have a list
Roland is an establishment plant and he's mad that a white man that has had a consistent message for the last 40 years is popular with black people. Dr. William Barber and Bernie Sanders are allies, but Roland is playing identity politics against Bernie and he would rather see a black face in charge even if the black face is a neoliberal that campaigns with Dick and Liz Cheney. It's truly unbelievable. Any time truth comes out he interrupts his guests.
Roland, Roland, Roland. You talk about uplifting Black folks yet you're over talking your Black guests. Bernie isnt wrong and y'all know it. Roland is mad because he's one of those Democrats that Bernie is talking about...Roland isn't apart of the working class. Man shut up all that loud talking.
Trump had the working class vote especially the white working class. And they voted for trump not necessarily for economic reasons.
Roland is obnoxious, and enjoys playing the victim card. I used to be on the Democratic train wreck only thing they whine about is race, and sexuality to get Black voters. The same immigrants they will bend backwards for voted red bcos even they see how phony and crazy the Democrats are.
Dude do your research the Democrats have save this economy of the past 30 yrs. Just do your research and see when the country prospered. The GOP will create a new disaster but you will be hit harder then anyone because you are the first fired.
Roland is correct, the working class would have made big gain with Kamala’s plan, right now they will pay more taxes under Trump’s plan. There are a few channels that break down the plans and u can see them. They voted against their own interest they just don’t know it.
Thank you

@@longinusukentarightttt
No too much Roland is REAL.
What does Bernie want? He is all over the place. What is his focus?
The lady is annoying.
I have to agree with Sanders on this. The DNC is abandoning all the working class. Roland is incorrect here and as long as the DNC does not see the issue that Bernie has been pointing out for years then they will continue to have issue.
DNC does not care; They would rather have Trump over Bernie b/c he atleast keeps the gravy train rolling.
While it's true that both the DNC and RNC are corporately backed and by wealthy ppl. The stark difference is that only one group has programs and support to the middle class and poor, who actually make up more of the US population than the 1% who are super wealthy. The middle class pays the most taxes and those taxes go to support the poor and the programs that keep them afloat. Repubs are for the wealthy. But the yt poors keep voting for Repubs who run their states. The poorest states in the country are run by Repubs and keep them poor, and those poor yt ppl keep voting for them consistently. Bernie needs to talk to that group and ask them why they continuall do that. They get the most abortions, welfare, and use social programs the most. Thus, Bernie talk to them and ask they why they keep doing that!
Bernie Sanders’s initials is BS for a reason. Trump said everything stupid he could think of, him and his followers did everything they could to leave out as many people as possible, he went on record as saying the Biden administration wasn’t doing enough for Israel and if he loss the Jewish community was the reason, he never came up with a working class agenda in his first go round or now, etc.
Read any history book and look at the stats of what two demographics voted for him over 70% and 75%, then the reason he won is right in your face.
So when the Dems saved the pensions for the teamsters that’s nothings? Stop the games and be real the Dems are a coalition political party in a center right county while being an international superpower with nukes… can they do better? Yes but only if they’re in the majority and voted in by voters who expect voting once every 4 years to solve these issues.

Does Roland acknowledge the fact that 1) Trump got a disproportionate number of votes from disaffected minorities, and 2) He got fewer votes than his last election, but Kamala lost even more votes than him? As much as people voted for him, far many more chose not to vote or didn't find Kamala, and her campaign could never reach out to the voters Trump got, but Sanders did back in 2016

Ask Bernie!
Exactly!
Encouraging US based corporations to bring their manufacturing back to the US and convincing foreign corps to have their products made here so they can dodge his tariffs.
Grifting and suckering.
Project 2025 he stated he hates over time and will not tax it because there probably won’t be any anymore. His 1% will get all the perks.
We know what that lady is talking about . We’re tired of being ignored. Face the fact Mr. Martin. Democrats have better start listening. Hate politics doesn’t work anymore.
She also talked housing and that’s what she said to address the middle class and lots of her policies would help the middle class and the poor.
Thank you! These people were not listening.
What policies? Did she have anything that wasn't means tested Republican lite rhetoric? If you're talking about "tax credits," get real. People got excited when she talked about stopping price gouging and then the donors got mad and she quit talking about it!
Her messaging wasn't effectively getting out.
From talking to alot of nonvoters, or Trumpers. The message they got was , Trump=Bad, and restoring Abortion Rights.
There is a messaging problem in the Democrat Party. This is something the Democrat Party have admitted they have a problem with for years.
Much of this is to Conservative News Bias, but I think it is a bit more complicated now as I think many people who don't view themselves as Conservative and choose not to view Conservative biased articles/shows are getting news from Social Media sources some of which are Left Wing Grift sources.

Right, he can't shut his mouth enough to listen. So much disrespect!!
I am sick of dumb voters falling for bs of Bernie. Bernie is all talk and has had decades and done nothing. He is lying and he knows Biden/Harris did quite a bit in 4 years. Roland was right to call him out for it. Hate the yelling. It is not the messaging. Roland is right to show how red states continue to vote against their interest even when the Dems gave them the policy. Roland is right to call BS on his bs about not getting out there to communicate the successes and where more needs to be done. BS is pro-white and that's something he has constantly said while he presses down on his lie that it is economics which has been proved wrong soooo many times. These red states continue to vote red. Start watching those states complain while voting for the same ppl at the state and fed level as they pass laws that make their way of life destroyed. The montana homeless watched the laws passed by gop in 2024 and still said its dems and immigrants fault and did now want the reporter to call him out on his vote for the same ppl. I know dnc/dems dixiecrats need to change but so does BS Bernie is just as much establishment as the rest.
I love Bernie too, but this was about race not more nothing less.
One thing the trolls kept saying about Harris is that she kept starting every interview with "I came from a middle class family"...my mother wasn't able to buy her first home until I turned 13)..plus she always ended with "...not just to get by, but to get ahead" so her messaging was clear about the economy and working class. Even the trolls knew.
My parents both worked when I was growing up and they couldn't afford a home until they retired years after I was married and used part of my father's pension for a down payment. I always thought we were middle class but I guess not.
Middle class and working class are not the same.

I thought Kamala did talk about the economy and making it better when she said she was going after price gouging, giving people money for housing giving parents 6000 dollars in the first year of the their kids life. These are ways to help working class and the economy. So she did speak on it on several times. They need to stop blaming democrats, stop ignoring race and blame those that voted for Trump. They should have known better. Trump showed them that he doesn’t care about anyone but himself, including the working class, is guilty of 34 felons, is a racist, a rapist, said he was gonna be a dictator, said he was gonna help his rich friends and not the rest of us. Etc. Yet, they ignored that. This is all about them wanting power, being ignorant or thinking if they side with white supremacy even if they are not white, they are safe. Frustrating.
@@missy8758 she stopped talking about price gouging corporations. That should have been central to her campaign, she was campaigning with Liz Cheney, that killed any momentum she had.
Yes she had good policies but if people don’t hear it, it means nothing.
Democrats and the media accept republican framing.
It’s time to fire the consultants and strategists who lost to Trump but filled their pockets.
Exactly right. So tired of people not holding ignorant voters to account. Those who voted Trump or stayed home are responsible for Trump being elected.
Preventing price gouging is important during emergencies like covid, hurricanes etc. It does not help, however, if the normal prices are way too high.
Prices have gone up 20% in the last four years. People's paychecks have not.
And for the people who cannot afford to own a home, the down-payment assistance is not helpful. There are many people who also don't have kids.
And yet there are many people, like myself, who are in dire financial situations. I am childless, I cannot afford a house, and even without price gouging, groceries have nearly doubled from what I was paying a few years ago. My rent had gone up $400 dollars a month in one year and recently I have been laid off. Once unemployment runs out, I'm probably going to live with my family so I can get back on my feet. If I didn't have that, I'd be homeless.
Additionally, she had no plan to overhaul our Healthcare system. She rejected and distanced herself from Medicare for All as soon as she was nominated.
So I think it all boils down to how she was speaking about it. And also how substantive here policies actually were.
She said that for each of her flip flops, her values haven't changed. I didn't see a replacement for Medicare for All? She not once mentioned that Healthcare should be a right to all citizens regardless of financial situation.
I still voted for her. But was I impressed or optimistic after hearing her economic proposals? Absolutely not. It felt like she was putting tiny band-aids on a gaping wound and calling it a day. Unfortunately, that is typical with both parties and I think we're going to continue to see the American people being discontent with our economic situation until the core issues are addressed. And I think that's why Bernie resonates so well with people. He actually addressed the root of the problem.
Roland, listen more, talk less.
Roland please allow your guest to speak.

@@iCanbEYOURrUKIAexcatly I don't understand the suprise lol
Being mad at Bernie is like shooting the messenger. Clearly, we need to take a step back and try to understand the other half of the country.
And to Bernie’s point why trump got a larger percentage of the blk & Latino voter’s vote this time around. I think Bernie’s concerns are valid
These poor white folks will vote for their complexion. The “landowners” knew it and they know it now. That’s why Trump did not have to campaign on economics. He campaign on the fear of losing whiteness and power.
@niccolea2086 trump didn't get a larger percentage of black voters. Some blacks didn't show up to vote.
50% of 60% percent of the voters that voted is not half the country.
Kamala ran on an economic message, democracy, and rights and Trump ran on people trying to change your children trans at school and deport legal and illegal immigrants and he won (many of the people who voted for him voted for their own demise. I don't know what there is to listen to when they voted for the opposite of what they say they want (and didn't take any time to compare real issues).
Working class yts voted for Trump but down ballot Democrats in NC who ran on the same message as Harris, we got to talk about race in this country and stop coddling yt people.
The trans ads worked too well on wc Latino men and the 20% percent of black men. Economic policies didn't have anything to do with it.
Explain the math? They wont vote for Democrats because Democrats won’t cater enough to them. However they will continue to or increasingly vote for republicans regardless of how much it hurts them? If they didn’t vote that would make sense, what’s the sense in voting for Republicans?

Bernie ran for president, and he delivered that same message to the voters, but it didn't help him get the nomination. Therfore that was not the reason for the white community that didn't vote for Harris. If it was their main concern they would have voted for Bernie.
Race and gender are the reasons that Harris lost.

Exactly 💯
Agreed
Roland is right on one thing here folks,
Sanders is incapable of addressing real concerns when he ignores uncomfortable facts.
bernie can’t handle that racism plays some part in this issue with worker solidarity.
Bernies white voter numbers plummeted in the 2020 primary run he made, after white working class said that sanders wasn’t doing enough to appeal to them, and had way too many black and brown workers in his coalition
Furthermore how come Bernie never points out the polling that shows that white working class think black people are a coddled class that have way too much, and that it is whites who are more poverty stricken?
maybe that’s why they will side with anti union, anti worker politicians and policies on the right? No other reason to vote against your own interest unless you think people you don't think deserve benefits are getting them...
Cause yeah how come bernie never points out why white working class side with anti union, anti worker policies and politicians whenever they talk about affirmative action and black workers being involved or getting a slice of the pie?
Why does bernie never mention the unions that get caught undermining black/minority workers cause the white union members don't want black, brown and asian members in the coalition?
all of these are real things that occur and disprove the notion that the working class are all united in solidarity
it’s a fact that polls, and studies show white working class will be against welfare, and or workers benefits if they think black and brown workers will have access as well
Thank you Roland Martin and Dr. Carr.

Yeah, that pissed me off, too. Voters blaming their unwillingness to cast a vote on an entire party or candidate is wild. I'm not wealthy enough to not vote lol.
Dems been slipping for years it was bound to catch up they didn't learn from the first time put somebody credible in there
@@lynns4426 There was a litany of reasons for me. 200 Billion with promise of being a Trillion dollar Ukraine war grift, biological men invading woman sports, REFUSING TO ALLOW FOR A PRIMARY. Nope the blue cult went so far sitting it out or a vote for Jill was not punishment enough. I voted Trump. I suspect many rednecks went through same process and feelings when they crossed the line to punished the GOP after GWB tanked the economy and wasted trillions in Iraq. Many voted Obama as a weapon against THEIR OWN PARTY which was not repping them well.
Do they owe you their vote?
@danielbwest:
Every person "owes" it to THEMSELVES to vote. You are a valuable part of the community you live in.
@@lynns4426 they did vote. Their vote didn't go your way, so stop blaming them. If some didn't, it's bcus both party's are corrupt af. Bernie's speaking the truth, and yet look at the response
Lauren is ABSOLUTELY right!!
Roland told her haha he is so zesty. I don't know how yall watch this mess. I'm here for the laughs and comments lol
3:13 he wasn't beaten in the primaries the democratic party stole it from him.
Facts. They don't know what they're talking about
TRUTH
And I thought that I was the only person on planet Earth mentioning that ... THANKS. Trump accused the Democrats of stealing elections and he was right. No, they didn't steal anything from him, BUT they stole it from Bernie - that's a fact. And then, because Bernie's a team player, he didn't say a thing. Because he was on board to make sure that 🍊🤠💩 never entered the White House ever again. Well, when the Democratic party couldn't make that happen, Bernie's B-A-C-K. it's as simple as that ...
Sanders lost in South Carolina and every southern state. He was not known in the south where most primary voters resides. It is impossible to win democratic primaries without southern voters. Sanders barely won Iowa, was viable in states outside the south. All democratic candidates has to be viable in the south where the population is more diverse. He lost every southern state to President Biden mainly because of the black vote which did not know Sanders at all. No it was not stolen he lost heavily.
Then why did he lose white working class voters in the 2020 run?
look it up, his numbers with white working class dropped at the same time his support with black and brown supporters went up
hmmm... seems like a coincidence no?
So you're mad at Bernie for truthfully calling out the Democrats? Or what?
Get a grip.
Actually
@@nyanuwu4209 🎯
Bernie is wrong because what he said was totally one sided and way too skewed. Of coures Dems should be more concerned with working class than they are. But they should be doing many other things better too. How about climate change? Do working class care about climate change? How about racism? BLM? Do working class care about that?
@dadama925 All losers politically. Hence the loss. Bernie said what is obvious. The real issue is that Bernie said Biden and Harris were super progressive a week ago. And we all know that is BS. His new statement is obvious truth. He just has little credibility.
Harris told a grass roots oriented Kennedy to kick rocks and then she clinges to a warmongering Cheney.
We need more Bernie type confessions. These are politicians not your grandma. No kids gloves, just cold analysis is needed.
Roland is too INVESTED in this democratic party and can’t see beyond this party.
Roland, i respect your views, but don't yell at your guests and let them speak. once they are done, disagree peacefully, and give your views calmly. Respect them. I agree that Kamala did her best to give out economic policies and she had plans for the working class... but every time that she did, with specific details, people either tuned out (because they, secretly, didn't WANT to hear it) or they flat out, ignored it. and here, i am going to cut and paste a statement from a woman who posted this comment on youtube, after the election:
'I'm a 60 -yr old white woman in Ohio. I voted for Harris. I never voted for Trump. It's simply racism, and because she's a woman.'
it's really as simple as that. People who complain about the Harris campaign being flawed for overlooking the working class is ludicrous. people were just looking for an excuse not to vote for her. and if economics did have something to do with her not getting elected, it was more like she was suffering from the mistakes of previous regimes. but i don't see how Republicans are any better than them. i think both parties fail in that regard.
America was told for 3 years that their president wasn’t too old and was capable of doing his job. The debate showed that was a flat out lie. Prior to Harris running, she had very poor popularity, yet as soon as Biden stepped back, over night Harris was this incredibly popular sensation. That strategy is going to work for people who are democrats, but for the undecided voters, it’s almost offensive how much they were trying to gaslight the nation. I think results from yesterday in the swing states reflect that.She ran a dogshit campaign and the Dems thought it a good idea to run one of the single most unpopular candidates imaginable. Can't be shocked this happened at all. Kamala was never going to win over the key demos that she needed to because it's like she didn't even fucking try to.
@@redwanur i disagree with you that she ran a dogshit campaign. if that's what you believe, then fine, and i respect that, but please respect that i have the right to disagree with you. i think she did the best anyone could do for a 100-day campaign, and beyond. Part of the reason she was not popular was due to the reasons that i specified already. she was the first VP who was a woman of color. immediately, there was going to be backlash and disfavor to those who did not want to see that. no, it cannot be denied, no matter how much you prefer to believe otherwise.
I disagree that she didn't try to win over the key demos. i believe she TRIED very much.
Another part of the reason that sprung her lack of popularity was also due to the previous regime doing everything in their power to belittle the present elected officials.
Trump spent all 4 years of Biden's presidency bashing him and Kamala, instead of letting them have their time as president and VP.
that constant haranguing was bitter, awful, and had a lasting effect. He poisoned their time, out of his own disgusting need to not accept a defeat.
and if you expected her to just give up/give into that, no! you don't response to hate by crawling away. you gotta stand your ground, and keep going.
I admit that it would have been better that Biden (who did his best when he inherited a shitshow once getting into office) had stepped down sooner, but her lack of popularity stemmed from three things: racism, sexism, and defamation spread through disinformation and hate speech.
you shouldn't crawl away from bullies, like Trump. you have to at least, try and stand up to them. She did that. for that, i appreciate it. and
was she doomed from the very beginning. Yes. but i don't blame her. i blame the society that we are in, and the circumstances that tore her down. if we Americans could not see that she was the better candidate, because of, as you put it 'gaslighting', that's our failure, not hers.
third, hatred of her is your choice, but it was ill-founded. She did the role of VP, and did it precisely what was her job to do. Especially since VPs are rarely heard about during presidencies. they do not control policy, but support the current cabinet and take the President's place, if something were to happen.
her stepping in, after Biden stepped down, was the logical choice.
Was i aware that the cards were stacked against her? yes. That's what happens whenever you are the first woman/woman of color to do something. failure always occurs. but the fact that she got that many votes, despite it all... is miraculous.
And what of her actual actions, that you rail against?
In her time as the VP, what about her time that she spent overseas as an ambassador? what of actual duties that she performed that you consider terrible? please give me actual moments of her time as VP that you disliked? Like please give me particular examples.
Because, if not, it adds to another argument that a youtuber said is the main reason that people did not vote for her:
People really have no idea what the hell is going on.
Roland Martin is part of the problem😂😂
Roland is the prime example why the party lost. Nobody is allowed to have an opinion that's different.

Trump has certain appeals like the issues I mentioned, he is against them.
@@dadama925 For starters, cavorting around with Liz Chaney for the entire last month of the campaign. Plus she had very few coherent global proposals - there was no message - just a few policies put together on the fly. That's what Bernie is talking about. Not entirely KH's fault as she was thrown into the campaign with barely 100 days to go. But you sure can put the blame on Biden...
@@ericschultz6539 What a load of crap. BS got in bed with the far right and still does. His big tent included the far right. His ilk over there at TYT where Ana K supports far right and is standing up for Trump. The reason i started calling them fauxgressives is just that the phony hypocrisy when they embrace the far right and call it evolving. There are anti-trump ppl and gop who do not like the direction of the gop and Bernie nor most Dems are not the ppl to speak to them. That is is why Liz was put on the trail to get to those deep red states. Who do you think could speak to them. Oh wait, you think they should not have been talked to. Some of them are those very ppl that Lauren is talking about, they are not all wealthy. Be honest, they would not have listened to Bernie. I don't agree with the Liz move but Bernie and his divisive ways is not the way either and he know his trickle down yt boy politics and theory is not right. btw, the dems did speak to many of their interests and passed several bills. Roland is right to call that out. Many of those states/cities now know their gop candidate voted against many of those policies then took credit for it. They voted for the white gop. BS needs to listen too. He is establishment too and will not listen either. Bernie will no more work with Dems (but will take their $$) any more than Dems will work with him. It's why he should go just as much as tired dixiecrat dems.
Black Fragility on display, stop it! Roland you're smart and I agree with you most times. What Bernie said was not controversial. You can't go to work for 40 to 50 hours a week and still live paycheck to paycheck. That's what he was speaking to. A bad economy subscribes to no party.
Don't talk about Bernie, he's been saying this on every news station he can get on

@@simeonfuller5389 3 of us... Bernie and Rev.Barber are solid allies.
Roland's problem with Bernie is that he is a white man leading the movement. Bernie's message has been consistent for 40 years. Roland wants a black face to lead the movement even if it's a neoliberal like Kamala. He used identity politics against Bernie to make his argument.
Bernie is right. Point blank.
Smh Roland Martin consistently stays out of touch. I think it’s intentional at this point.
Ever since Roland started shilling for the establishment Democrats instead of the progressives, he has gone downhill, in my opinion. Bernie is the only one who tells the truth and tries to get shit done. Roland is good with teaching history and going after horrible people but he's going after the wrong one
No it's the core of the Dem leadership. When they let him in he got infected
Roland Martin was the guy who was leaking debate questions to the Clinton camp during primaries in 2016. Hes a sellout and a race hustler.
Good to see people starting to recognize the propaganda at play
About half of white votors are never going to vote for the democratic party. Mostly because of race or sexism or guns or energy policy or religion. But they are only about 25% of the country’s population. The other half of the white population knows that their economic problems require the same sorts of solutions that will also uplift people of color. These white people will gladly unite with minority voters to vote for any candidate that they think is authentic and will actually fight for people instead of corporations. Many hispanics too understand this. Hispanics overwhelmingly supported Obama and Mexico currently has a female president. But as long as the democratic party spends its time courting corporate donors and campaigning with the Cheneys and refusing to raise wages, refusing to take on insurance companies, banks, pharmaceutical companies, etc, then the democratic party will have no credibility with poor and middle class voters. Race and sexism is a problem but credibility is a far bigger problem in my opinion.
Do a pathological liar is more credible?
Are you for real, do you understand what you wrote?
Democrats have taken on all of those entities. The democrats are fighting high drug prices, the dems are the ones that created the CFPB which polices financial entities, dems are fighting to increase wages and make the wealthy pay more of their share of taxes. Republicans are trying to overturn all of these things or are trying to keep anything from changing and the majority of white voters said “yeah! That’s what I want!” Make it make sense! And Latino men, most of whom identify as white by the way, jumped at that shit too.
@@faithe54 No, not more credible and that doesn't matter.
@@abti7766 They're 100% correct and you need to start talking to swing voters. You can't save the racist base of the Republicans but you can convince the swing voter who votes solely on economics.

His guests need to stay on topic.

Roland, Bernie isn't even a Democrats shows how little you know.
Nah he was spot on. As usual. America doesn’t deserve Bernie. This is a moment of self reflection is now. Not blah blah blah.
I'm not sure why they're so mad at Sanders. Blue no matter who people didn't learn in 16 and it seems like they don't want to learn now. Also, the short haired chick twisted his words, he never said abandon everything besides economic stuff. He's very anti-war and got arrested protesting segregation... it's dumb to treat one of the few non-bribed politicians like an enemy.
I would never forget what the establishment Dems did to him. He was winning every state in the 2016 primary when they effed him over for Clinton now look what happened. AGAIN!!!
But it's up to us to make people understand Bernie's message ...❤

I agree with bernie i voted for democrats but us working class people have been abandoned and corporate greed isn't going to be taken care of anytime soon
Y'all sound stupid as hell well guess what Trump and his homies own the corporations so you think the greed is going to stop by voting for Trump hell nah!!!!! Trump has no plans for working class and he made no promises at all period!!!
Bernie just dog whistling and not speaking to the real issues; just touting his own hypocrisy.
So let’s elect republicans to control everything got it . But then if we vote every single democrat in then it’s. 1 party rule

You can't help people that won't vote for you.The Democrats party need to find new voters .Stop trying to convince racist white people that will never vote for them to vote for them .
Cause and effect. Young(er) white men supported Trump by a large amount, and they somehow decided to go vote. Do you think that was because Dems abandoned the working class? Every time you lose, you have to make major changes? The last I looked, Trump lost in 2020 and did not make any changes other than becoming more extreme.
